Perhaps Donkey Kong and Pac Man are the Citizen Kane of our generation. I notice tons of 8-Bit Nostalgia from remakes and reissues of classic games to mash-up music players.

Make your own music with all the original sound samples.





YMCK hail from Japan and make fun music (think Stereolab meets Dangermouse) reminiscent of old 8-Bit Nintendo soundtracks.
