#Cinefix - Army of Darkness 8 Bit Cinema

Here's another great 8-bit remake from CineFix. This time it's the Halloween-appropriate take on Army of Darkness! And it works great:



Who knew AoD could make such a great retro 8-bit game!!

#Randomz - Mega Man: Shenmue

The inevitable crossover you didn't know you wanted:



From the great Peter Sjöstrand.

#Randomz - Godzilla! - 8 Bit Cinema

Here's a fun video from CineFix's "8 Bit Cinema" feature.

What if the 2013 Godzilla reboot was told as a 16-Bit Game...

#Randomz - Michael Bay's Battletoads "Official" Trailer

Pretty much on point here.



You know what? I would almost have preferred it actually be a Battletoads movie to be honest.

#MusicBOX - Pacific Rim Main Theme 8bit Arrange

We heard a 16-bit version. Here's the obligatory 8-bit rendition with lovely mock-up Nes screens alongside!

#MusicBOX - 8-Bit "Quantum Leap Theme"

Quantum Leap is one of my all-time favorite shows.

Here's a pretty fun 8-Bit rendition of the series' catchy opening theme:



I could just about imagine a NES Quantum Leap video game (or at least, its main menu)!

#MusicBOX - 8-Bit "What is love?"

Now, this is brilliant!!

#FanMade - Donnie Darko 8-Bit recap

Here's a pretty epic 8-bit rendition of the entire plot of Donnie Darko by CineFix



Check out their other videos, they do such incredibly 8-bit retellings of classic fils~

#Gaming NEWS! Mighty No 9's BECK invites himself in a 2D sidescroller

Mighty Gunvolt is a "run & gun" Mega Man-style 8-bit sidescroller. You know, an indie retro game. Developed by Inti Creates. It seems they originally wanted to make a "Mega Man Zero" thing, but weren't able to get the rights to Mega Man, because Capcom just hates Mega Man these days...

Anyhow, the game's still coming out even without the rights to Mega Man, they just slightly tweaked it.

You can also get it for free if you already have their previous title Azure Striker Gunvolt. And even get Striker's main character, Gunvolt. And since they couldn't get Mega Man, they went for the next best thing... that is, getting Beck from Keiji Inafune (Mega Man's creator)'s Mighty No 9!!



How's that looking up for you, Capcom?

Ha! I just love the fact Beck's sprite is basically just Mega Man! Hahaha!

#Animations - Dr. Who 50th anniversary special

It's been far too long since I last did one of these 8-bit renditions.

Here's my "DailySketch" from yesterday, turned random flash animation!

Rushed artwork & animation done in Flash CS3.
8-bit cover of Doctor Who's main theme done with FL Studio 11, using the plugin magical8bit to simulate the 8 bits sound.



Enjoy, Hope you like it ;)

You can check out the actual interactive flash animation at this link:

#MusicBOX - REMEMBER WHEN

Alright, another clip from "Animation Domination HighDef"'s youtube channel!

A childhood/80s-90s nostalgia trib, in 8-bit graphics!

Animations - Kiki game menu

So, apparently, I did this a while ago.
From the look of the date, way back in early 2011.

Since I don't have the original flash file, I could had a little loader at the start or add something. So check this entire blog post to have the music launch right away! (careful headphones!)

#Ad - Ariston and on and on and Ariston

Here's a random ad for Ariston, a kitchen appliance company.

Why, d'you ask?

Well, they used the title theme song from the Data East RoboCop game in it! Really!

Check this out:



It's actually the Game Boy rendition of the music to be precise.

How random.

If this was nowadays, I can imagine a law suit following, etc.

But back then video games were much more of a smaller industry/independent-scale affair.

Deadly Premonition - 8-Bits FBI Special Agent Morgan - C64 style

Here's one more!

Did you like the previous song?
Well, one more, how could this go wrong?

Let's all enjoy this and sing along.
And Mister Francis York Morgan, grow a beard, it won't take long!
So says Mr. Stewart!!



So..Zack? Wanna listen to this music again?

• > Yes. 
• > No.

Deadly Premonition - 8-Bits "Whistle Tune - C64 style"

Here's a wonderful 8-bits style take on the fantastic Whistle Tune from, yes, Deadly Premonition!
That's right, Zack!


Music by Orthogonalus

Do you hear this Zack?
That's right again.
The symphony of the tune, the melody. It does reminds me of the good old retro era of video gaming. And you know what Zack?
Exactly! The chiptunes are quite lovely, who said you needed a big orchestra to pull out memorable music you would keep listening to? Not me.

Would you take another cup of coffee Zack?

• > Yes. 
• > No.

Eyz Drawing + 8-bits tune - Kiki's "Message of Rouge"

Here's a new drawing for a change!
I wanted to draw Kiki from Hayao Miyazaki's classic movie Kiki's Delivery Service for some time :P

On deviantArt.

And since I was thinking about that..
I love the opening Rock 'n' Roll theme so much, that I uploaded an 8-bits version of it on my youtube channel:



It came out pretty good I think, surprisingly!

The opening tune of Studio Ghibli's "Kiki's Delivery Service", "Rouge No Dengon" (Message of Rouge).
A very fun 60s style japanese rock and roll song!
Once again done using FL Studio 8 with the plugin magical8bit to simulate the 8 bits sound.
Hope you like it ;)
(and that youtube won't screw up the sound too much as usual!)

8 Bits music & drawing - the Blues Brothers

People who know me, usually know that I'm a huuuuuge Blues Brothers fans.
Now, you do too.

And here's my "little" collection of BB CDs I bought over the years when I was younger, back when people used to actually buy CDs.

So here's the obligatory Blues Brothers related post I was due to post at some point on my blog.

8 Bit music - Pizza Cats, Mazingaaah Zetto and Do-ronbooooo!

Hello gang!
Remember that post a while ago?
Here's 3 more old "8 bit interpretations" I've uploaded on my youtube account some months ago.
Once again, all done with the program FL Studio 8 with the plugin magical8bit!


Samurai Pizza Cats 8 bit 

This one is dated from 26 juillet 2009.
First of all, I'd say this one's of my few favorite interpretations. I usually don't like looking back at what I've done some time after. Be it drawings, music, etc...
But this one sounds still pretty decent to me now.
A bit harder to get right, I played a long time in FL studio to get the sound and rythm that way.


Mazinger Z theme song 8 bit 

From 29 septembre 2009.
More Mazingaaah! I love all the catchy original japanese songs the whole Mazinger series used!
I had to do this one!


Tensai Doronbo 8 bit

23 mars 2010.
I gotta admit, I don't really like looking back at this one... Could have been a lot better.. Some background "voices" are pretty bad. I should have used other ways to replicate those sounds... (maybe use less tracks, less sounds...)

That's all I've done so far!
So stay tuned, if I do more, you guys and gals on this blog will be the first to know of it! (with the other 2 guys watching my youtube account) 

AtariMusic: Ghostbusters! Bwahahahaha!

It's Karaoke time!!

8 Bit music - Sonic, Cutey Honey and Greeeendizaa!

Hey gang! Well, you 4 or 5 still reading me actually : P
(or you're a whole lot more, according to my Pageviews, but only a couple comment a handfull "follow" the nblog)

I decided to cross-media stuff from my youtube account into this blog!
So, in this first installment "8 Bit music" I wanted to post some 8 bit tunes I've done, base on some fan-favorites games, old school animes and other cult opening themes!
Afterall, we do love our opening videos on this blog!

Here's the very first few 8 bit interpretation I've done.

Sonic Heroes 8-bit

My very first try! This one was done and posted on youtube June 10 2009.

It was done using the great music program FL Studio 8, and some tweaking around with the plugin "magical8bit".
The artwork was mine, and the one I submitted which was featured in Sonic & the Black Knight on the Wii. (yeah, I was one of the winners of that contest...)


Cutey Honey Opening 8-bit

Aaah : )
Cutey Honey! A cult favorite! An 8 bit game would kick so much ass XD
Done and posted June 20 2009.  
Go Nagai rocks! Speaking of...


Grendizer Theme 8-bit

July 28 2009 - Grendizaaa!
Goldorak, the harder one to get right... I'm still not 100% happy with the result here...

Anyway, that's it for today's 8 Bit music!
The pics were all done by me, easily found in my deviantArt gallery in case you'd ask.
