I'm 16, and i'm watching this because I enjoy retro games. There's just a charm that I don't find in newer games. Plus, they are easier to make. I think people should make games on older systems like NES, even if it's not sold anymore, new games would sure be fun. My favorite NES game is S.C.A.T., because it's very Contra-esque, but you can fly around the level
Love this title screen music comp. I remember starting these games up, hearing these tunes, and that was my childhood. Ninty and Shiggy would be proud.
3:53 That funky version of the Star Wars Cantina Band, brings back memories of my friend and I killing ourselves trying to get past the first few levels of that game and never getting to the spaceship levels shown on the back screenshots of the box, which is the whole reason we hired it! He visits and we still can't do it till this day!!
Can we take a moment to revel in the box art of each NES game? The way each artist tried to sell the box art reminds me of Drew Struzan from the _Star Wars_ posters!
It's interesting how you can always tell the Western developed games by that distinctive "trilling" sort of tone that sounds like it's coming out of a C64.
It’s called arpeggio and or arp for short and is a chord played monophonically so one note at a time old systems could play complex chords because each note requires a different oscillator at the same time so they would cycle the notes of a chord quickly
@@VitaEx Makes sense. I have always wondered why it's so closely associated with Western developed games, though. Did Japanese game composers have some actual reason to use the technique to a much lesser degree or even avoid it entirely?
Will Mistretta there are different ways to program sounds to stack tones and make them sound like a chord could be a style choice may have more to do with the year then western or eastern as certain styles seem more popular at different eras but I’m not sure hard to say
The best part is when the volume between the songs starts to drastically change, so you turn up the volume for one tune, only to be blasted at 3am on the next.
Can anyone tell me the name of the track playong on 49:49 is i love it but i cant see.the title because of how its written and the uploader didnt help by listing the names in alphabetical order rather than in a time sequence
I am looking for music/songs that were played in the background in the lobby when you choose what game to play on NES consoles, and I can't find them. Does anyone know where I can find them?
@@switchel_schnitzel4154 I found the console that I played as a kid, it is called Ending man console. On the cartridges of that console there were 8bit music in the background in the lobby.
@@aarongski5170 oh interesting. i never heard of it before. i would love to help you, but i dont know what songs came on it. hope you can find the song though
This is what childhood sounds like. So many happy memories.
If could go back to 1990 I probably would, even though I would erase my child, I could avoid some very bad life changing events.
Hmmmph......You were never a double dragon ~!
All of us who listen to this are probably all in our mid to late 30s or 40s.
Well I can assure you that chiptune music is a thing for younger people, even 20s people grew up with NES games as childs
Yep yep.
yes you are right
20 yo right here

Thank you! Wish the poster of this video made a time-stamp list.
the 2nd dots is holy diver
you missed a few asshole
and the rest?
A winner is Konami! Seriously, the Konami games simply produced the best soundtracks back then.
It's very hard to to determine who was better: Capcom or Konami?
@@edwardgaines6561 Konami. Not hands down, but enough that it's obvious.
i would love to throw sunsoft in the 3 place after capcom and konami
Unreal mix here. Choice deep cuts.
the dude have been looking through so much 8-bit music it's unbeliveble.
And looks like he did at least 3 more compilations
His entire.body is probably made of pixels
When that first Double Dragon II song came on.....
Man. I’m a kid again.
Love this title screen music comp. I remember starting these games up, hearing these tunes, and that was my childhood. Ninty and Shiggy would be proud.
stuff like this is one of the things that keeps me sane cooking in the kitchen 6 days a week. Love it.
Over 4 hours great nes music? Who would dislike this????
Sony fans
@@asmith121 or Sega fan bois
people who accidentally clicked the wrong thumb
I appreciate that you chose more obscure tracks than the typical nes music videos... I haven't even heard a lot of these before
4:12:39 CrashMan from _MegaMan 2?_ Who else hears it? 👂
I did edward

Just bought a copy cheap. Good time
What year you born..? Because I play this game
That Gimmick! tune! Unbelievable!
you're a great 8 bit dj
Listening to this while I build the Nintendo Entertainment System lego build.
tantos bello recuerdos de mi infancia que hasta una lagrima derrame
A lot of good classics in here... but that moment when Astyanax comes in at 56:14
No console should have THIS many bangers
But this was the console of Kings,so it deserved it
I love the fact that some of these games I've never heard of. And I'm always a fan of a well crafted 8bit composition.
The sounds that never left my mind.
An underappreciated work. Only few likes for this video!!!??? It deserves more. Thanks guys
Can we take a moment to revel in the box art of each NES game? The way each artist tried to sell the box art reminds me of Drew Struzan from the _Star Wars_ posters!
Can we take a moment to wonder why parrots say can we take a moment before saying the statement?
46:25 SOAD be like...
Thank you for collecting them here.
Not sure what's more unsettling... How great this collection is... or the cover art for Castlevania 3 at 1:18:50 LOL! I'm gonna have nightmares...
Now that's one long fun melody
The silver surfer song about 2.48 in is an utter banger!
This is such a good mix. TY for it!
@03:19:00
Bubble man! The best Megaman tune!
So glad I found this mix, well done whitehat!
+1 free virtual hug
Holy hell that smurfs song fucking slaps 👌🏽
This one ? 1:36:42

Отличная подборка, спасибо!
2:04:08 Treasure master holy shit that is some composing on nes :D Also very excellent selection of music!

Well done! Amazing mix guys!
Theme of nostalgia
loved each music from this compilation :D
Astonishing
1:15:15 My ears!

Eight or nine! Ni-ni-ni-nine!
It's interesting how you can always tell the Western developed games by that distinctive "trilling" sort of tone that sounds like it's coming out of a C64.
I don't know where it is in the mix, but the Solstice main theme is a prime example of that tone. It's the best!
It’s called arpeggio and or arp for short and is a chord played monophonically so one note at a time old systems could play complex chords because each note requires a different oscillator at the same time so they would cycle the notes of a chord quickly

Silver surfer music is wild
the choosed music/ track is a proof that you do know the hi-quality music.
Great mix!
Memories
Gyruss had illogically good bangers for an early nes game
I play this list all the time ! when my friends and I are playing Magic...and at other times.
Отличная подборочка, спасибо автору за работу
great collection!
Awesome mix! Well done!
I love the HeroQuest track. I’m disappointed that the game was scrapped.
awesome, great job on this vid! this music seems to go well with everything! xd NES
I miss all of these companies
Childhood soundtrack

Best track!
Great list! 👍
The Astyanax theme sounds like that one song from Shrek 1
Music from the Asterix game on the Smurfs picture

14.35 double dragon 2
World Cup has a megaman vibe
Hmm 3:45:04 either ripped off or was ripped off by Battletoads Artic Caverns stage
Same developer (Rare) and composer (David Wise). I guess he sort of phoned that track in.
Can anyone tell me the name of the track playong on 49:49 is i love it but i cant see.the title because of how its written and the uploader didnt help by listing the names in alphabetical order rather than in a time sequence
What it's written there is "Dragon Scroll". I'm sure you can find it starting from that :)
What's the game called at 3:05:24 please ?
It looks like Indiana Jones but couldn't find this soundtrack
Arumana No Kiseki on FDS
37:25 a WILD TIM FOLLIN APPEARS
Tarbash? The Egyptian Magician?
3:55:00
👍 soundtrack album
1:00:21 this song kicks ass!

Party starts at 10:18
AMAZING list, however, it's missing the Batman games
I used songs from all 3 Batman games across the 3 mixes I've made
Timestamps Please?
Yeah, he was a bit lazy in that regard.
