Sony Creative Software 8 Bit Weapon: Square Waves To Be Focal Point Of Next Season Of 24

May 01, 2009
Sony Creative Software 8 Bit Weapon

Undoubtedly inspired by Homer's masterpiece, Sony Creative Software releases 8 Bit Weapon: A Chiptune Odyssey. It's like a power-up mushroom for your low-bit VGM sound collection. You get those gritty basslines, Double Dragonforce arpeggios, "Sorry Mario -- The Jordan Rudess Is In Another Castle" synth solos, cosmic FX and drums programmed by DJ Bayou Billy. On top of that, look at all those references I've exhausted!

Back in the day, they didn't have metadata, but that didn't stop SCS from adding it now. After all, nobody likes waiting for things to load. VGM fans will like the included seven-track EP, 8 Bit Weapon: Electric High. Check it out -- here's a ridiculously vocoder-heavy music video from the band the library is named after.
