Standout Hi-Fi Chiptunes

This post is a part of my blog paleontology series. I dug up and restored this post on 2025-08-11. I've updated some links to the wayback machine when needed. I've cleaned up the formatting in this post a little.

Time is a flat circle. See It's Weirdly Hard to Buy Music Now where I talk about Bandcamp again. Also I initially posted this on 2011-08-11, exactly 14 years ago.

I'm a big fan of 8bit music. Not all chip tunes are created equal though. Some really stand out and show that a lot of care has been put into their design. Music quality is also very import to me. Thats why I love bandcamp. They have quite the collection of chiptunes, many of which are free, all of which are available in lossless form. Some of my favorites are:

• 3 Flavors of 8bit by Dainumo, Jeesh, and P SUS
• ReMixes by Insert Rupee
• A Man Who Made A Choice and Ya'll Stop Bloggin' by Starship Amazing
• eightbit.me by Torley
• Pixel Perfect LP by halc

Bonus:

If you own Portal 2 you can extract the wave file for the co-op ending song, Robots FTW:
