= = BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER 8-BIT TRACKS: "VICTORY!" and "GRAVEYARD" = =

NOTE: This is an ORIGINAL song, NOT a remix of any 8-bit game.

This is Hydro Dreams, one of many more 8-bit tunes to come. Also check out the others clearly labeled as 8-bit in my music profile. It's part of a new musical project I've just started, found at myspace(dot)com/daedatheu s .

This song strictly follows the NES hardware rules - no more than 3 wave channels at once + a noise channel. This means there are NEVER MORE THAN 3 NOTES PLAYING AT ANY GIVEN TIME, just like a real 8-bit NES chiptune. And, like any classic chiptune, this one loops!

Enjoy.

"Amazing song"

I think it sounds like the Pokemon center theme turned into a Pokemon battle theme. I live for 8 bit music like this.

"Best!"

Best 8-bit tune I've ever heard. I'm usually not into this sort of music, but this song is really cool. Belongs in a game, certainly.

Author's Response:

Yes indeed my friend... and that's just what you hear here. The square waves as they are, as well as 12.5% and 25% pulses of them, the triangle for bass, the noise for hi-hats, and the DPCM for the "badly-compressed" drum samples haha.
Thanks for the 10, glad you enjoyed it.

Dude if I could get the NSF of this and the other 8 bit works I would love to use this for a Rockman 2 hack I'm planning on working on! :D It'd be nice to work with on Bubbleman's Stage or Airman's stage!
