I'm trying to expand my library of classic game/game-inspired music. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I'm including some music that I particularly enjoy for reference.

Aethernaut - Neo-SF strut from 2064: Read-Only Memories.

20XX from 20XX.

Forest Mystery from World of Horror. A bit esoteric but it's wild.

Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

Have you heard Anamanaguchi?

Toby fox has been in my top listens for the last 3 years at least.

EX-LYD is full of bops

Gooseworx is nice

Leon Chang has some good ones.

Ben briggs too.

Nick Nitro

I like to throw all the songs of a certain type i like into a spotify playlist and use the playlist radio to add more and find many other artists

And then listening to those brought me into some EDM electro pop hyper beat ish genre, so:

USAO, Camellia, Meganeko, Shirobon, Zekk, and many more

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World video game soundtrack by anamanaguchi Undertale and Deltarune soundtracks

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

SCvTW is a good gateway into Anamanaguchi, but their other albums are great, too.

Some radios:

If you want to combine chiptune with sea shanties The Longest Johns have an album that is all chip tune version of sea shanties. It's called Commodore 1864.

4mat is amazing. Started in the demoscene in the 90s and did a bunch of game soundtracks

My favorite album of his is Origins but Decades might be more what you're looking for

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

I'm checking out 4mat and started with Decades. That is fantastic! Thanks for the suggestion!

I recently discovered IsabelleChiming and I am in love. They do remakes of classic gaming soundtracks.

...and I wrote the soundtrack to the recent Game Boy Color homebrew game, Dangan GB2, if you're interested... 👀

[–] ethd@beehaw.org 3 points 9 months ago

IsabelleChiming is easily one of my favorites by far too! She's fantastic.

[–] Lemvi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not exactly like the ones you oncluded, but I really like this one: Challenger - Lemmino

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

Ooo I like that. Thanks for the suggestion!

[–] autumn@beehaw.org 3 points 9 months ago

these are more rock than chiptune, but very much video game inspired!

[–] fnafdesktopfan111@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

Crawl OST by Alex Yoder. All his other stuff is pretty good as well, but this one is my absolute favorite. Too bad he doesn't release stuff very often.

[–] kosmoz@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Rainbowdragoneyes makes good chiptune music (no fusion). Very underappreciated, it feels like.

Edit: added link

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago

Tokyo Machine!

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

Anything by Ben Prunty https://benprunty.bandcamp.com/

[–] nakal@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

My favs:

[–] ystael@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

Old, but I think at least inspired or adjacent: Apparat Organ Quartet - Romantika

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not sure if it's totally your vibe, but Machinae Supremacy is more on the rock/metal side of gaming themed music with a lot of C64 chiptune layers.

"Indiscriminate Murder is Counter-Productive" is one of my faves from them.

Sidology 1 & 2 are both pretty good. Anthem Apocalyptica holds a special place in my heart, though.

[–] The_og_koolaid_man@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

One of my favorites 8 bit trip

Another of my favorites

Dunderpatrullen

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

I like trotus and the Gameboy

[–] Sepix@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

I compiled a pretty funky mix out of my chiptune favourites. Check it out if you want to.
