Hello again, fellow kids, and welcome to the 16th edition of the SBC Community Mixtape! It's been a few months since our last entry, and with it, it's time that we brought this tradition back with a bang. So, as we kick Arcade Anarchy III into motion, what better way to get back into the Mixtape series with a bit of a challenge? By that, I mean that our theme this time is:

CHIPS AND BITS

Some of the best soundtracks in gaming history have been powered by the most basic of audio hardware, only capable of outputting simple beeps and white noise. That distinct sound has also given rise to the genre of chiptunes, modern music made using vintage game hardware. Whether it's a chiptune, or a genuine game soundtrack from back in the day, I want all of you to bring the best retro game-sounding music you can think of. Be it from the NES, the Game Boy Advance, or anything in between, this mixtape is all about the essence of 8-bit and 16-bit music, and the kind that captures it in spirit.

The rules:

• From now on, we're doing away with fixed total time limits on submissions per person. Just try and not go overboard, is all we ask.
• Since a lot of submissions here will probably not be on Spotify, we'll be doing this one as a Youtube playlist. That being said, you can make your submissions as either a Youtube playlist of your own, or simply list the songs you want to add in the replies below.
• Joke/troll entries can and most likely will be excluded.
• No repeat entries (can't submit the same thing as somebody else).

Tentative deadline for submissions is next Saturday, March 16th. Until then, I'm off to search for a functioning Bosconian cabinet.

Question, can our submissions include any music actually featured IN a video game, or a movie based on a video game?

Both, as long as they fit the sound we're talking about!

So…this one’s going to be a bit weird, since I don’t really have much knowledge on video game OSTs. Instead, I’m offering two chiptune covers of songs by the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto and New Order, with the entirety of Patricia Taxxon’s chiptune-styled Pelican Nexus EP sandwiched in between. All this combined should still be around a half hour, so enjoy, everyone!
