Super Mario Brothers & The Legend of Zelda Themes Played on a Commodore VIC-20 from 1980

"Yes. Your ears are working right. That old sound chip sounded pretty detuned. This song was made using the Vic-Midi cartridge from Retro Innovations. Please note that all track were recorded separately to avoid the chip from generating its classical overdriving when producing polyphony. I tried it and the result was awful. :) Please feel free to ask me any questions."

"...It all started a couple of months ago, when I encountered a 23-byte C-64 demo, Wallflower by 4mat of Ate Bit, that was like nothing I had ever seen on that size class on any platform. Glitchy, yes, but it had a musical structure that vastly outgrew its size. I started to experiment on my own and came up with a 16-byte VIC-20 program whose musical output totally blew my mind. My earlier blog post, "The 16-byte frontier", reports these findings and speculates why they work.

Some time later, I resumed the experimentation with a slightly more scientific mindset..."
