Ziptnf - Arcade Fantasy [8-bit/chiptune]

Last year, while I was in my final semester of Graduate School, I had a moment of inspiration and threw down Game Theory in a few hours without much planning or crafting, and it turned out to be one of my most popular mixes. Chiptunes have a rather small group of followers, and the tracks are spread out all over the internet. I spent a lot of time digging (and almost as much time creating the mix cover!) and came up with a new chiptune mix. The transitions are mixtape-style and the speeds are pretty much different for every track. This set will take you on a journey of the most blissful, exciting, and beautiful 8-bit worlds your imagination can conceive.

Syphus - Minimammal
Disasterpeace - Wagering Lights
Xyce - Petite Amie Rouge
Trash80 - Icarus
Bithead - 8Bit Luv
Random - Sitges Savepoint
Frostbyte - Drifter
Knife City - Bad News
Anamanaguchi - Helix Nebula
Bitshifter - The Information Chase
Sabrepulse - Hey Kate
Dylanbrochill - The Search Part 2
Renard - Intensive Care Unit
Kedromelon - Titan 2
I Against Me - Multikill
Sabrepulse - First Crush (feat Knife City)

Enjoy!

Thanks Anthony. I think this one is better than Game Theory personally

The Bithead-Random-Frostbyte section was one of my favorite parts. And definitely the last track. It's all just so happy lol.

Thanks to all who have listened, I had a lot of fun making it. Gonna put out some more cool mixes before the year is over

Haha! I'm loving this. Been watching a lot of the Angry Video Game Nerd recently, stoking the retro 8-bit goodness fire within me. This keeps it all going along nicely.

Its awesome ziptnf, there isnt a lot of mixing going on (obviously ur jumping through very different tunes so i understand it) but the mix is awesome.

I just redownloaded game theory im going to compare the two now

I agree this one is slightly better, but there are some really epic moments in game theory aswell, for example when the jay z tune kicks in, or the tune at min 38. This one perhaps lacks something like the jay z tune, but its still a great mix.

Yeah, it's exceedingly hard to mix chiptunes with this amount of variety. I was actually able to sorta blend Stiges Savepoint in with the Bithead track. I think this one is overall more solid, and I was considering putting in another Jay-Z remix, but I wanted this mix sound different than Game Theory.

Dudes like DJ Cutman have chiptune mixes that are a little more polished than mine (but not quite the character!)

Btw, Spike, I gotta tell you, you post some of the oddest gifs in my threads. I feel like I can't even read my own comments because a creepy old man will be smiling at me

Posted by sunsurge on Jul-11-2012 15:31:

I don't know what you mean, I just taped myself smiling and enjoying your mix.

Mentioning angry gamer made me think of this and this guys review are real epic. His style of gaming reviews take some getting used to perhaps and his reviews need to be dollaped with salt but hilarious they are.

I'm aware of Yahtzee and ZP... watched his stuff for years. Did you listen to my set?
