A chiptune cover
Figured I’d post something I did a few years back for a game that didn’t really come out (but gave those of us who were working on it a lot of amusement). My contribution was all of the chiptune covers of 80s (or not) songs. Here’s one of them:
Everybody Wants To Chip The World
On reflection, we probably would have needed to get permission from the original bands before distributing the game. Eh!

So a friend of mine emailed me last night and said “Please make a 20th century style Nintendo piece” and then mentioned a ton of genres that the game should fill such as adventure / action / puzzle / survival horror / RPG / FPS / MMO etc.
20th Century, eh? Like the nerdiest, difficult listening music. Set theory, 12-tone rows..
So! Cutting to the chase, I stayed up a few hours past my bedtime and made a 12-tone row Nintendo piece. I call it NINTENROW.
(ah, hahaha.)
Anyway, it’s an overworld/area map and then it steps into pause mode, and then battle mode… and a little victory ditty before going back to the overworld/area map.
I used the following row: C F D# G# A# G D A B E F# C#
and its inversions and retrogrades.
I feel so nerdy right now, it’s awesome.
