This Is Sparta in 8 bits! (PC-88 Remix / SSG Mix)

[Quetzalcoatl1519]

This would be King Leonidas' theme if he was in Touhou.

[CDR627]

no, this sounds like a video game.

[BLEACHSONIC1999]

this is epic

[pollotierrez]

THIS IS AOE !!!!!

[typhlosion96]

if leonidas was a boss this would be the battle music

[TheTOPProductions]

sorry leonidas, your army is in another castle

[Filippomilanista]

[RyvernRaigon]

Awesome song for an epic NES final boss xD

Subscription Approved by SPARTA!

[mastererik323]

Sounds like a song from a game sound track for the Super-NES.

[pHr33kAcHu]

@mastererik323 The SNES is sample-based, not PSG-based. Fail.

[MysticArksRevenge]

@pHr33kAcHu That's why I am not a fan of the SNES. Nintendo didn't like FM synth, and neither did Ken Kutaragi, that is why he created the SPC700 chip for Nintendo. Seta's X1-010 Chip used for arcade games is also sample based.

The PC8801 and PC9801 actually use a YM-2203 FM chip.

[pHr33kAcHu]

@MysticArksRevenge The SPC700 would have been kickass had it actually been allotted more sample memory or had DMA like the Amiga.

[MysticArksRevenge]

@pHr33kAcHu I hate the Amiga.

Actually, I wish Nintendo used the Seta X1-010 chip for the SNES instead of the SPC700.

The 5 arcade games that totally used the power of the X1-010 are these:

Caliber 50 (1989)

Downtown (1989)

Daioh (1993)

War of Aero (1993)

J.J. Squawakers (1993)

I just don't know why everyone likes the SPC700 more than the FM chips. I wish Nintendo used an FM sound chip like the YM2203 or the YM2151 for the SNES.

[pHr33kAcHu]

@MysticArksRevenge OH shit, I just read your first sentence "I hate the Amiga.".

I'm done discussing anything with you, you are blocked, have a nice life.

[MysticArksRevenge]

@pHr33kAcHu Asshole. 

[Cerberusthedog13]

[PoopSlammer]

Holy crap.

I just have to say, you are like freaking smart. O_O LUCKY!!

[GhostVenom051]

I am starting to upload a sparta remix using this base

[228SomeGuy]

This brings back memories (whatever of them I may have) of the 8 - bit era. I just can't get enough of chiptune music.

[Tachin1994]

GREAT ONE

[Thunderbirds76]

Older than the PC-98 version.

I prefer the PC-98 version.

What about a PC-08 version of one existed?

[jedi787plus]

The "88" and "98" in "PC-88" and "PC-98" didn't stand for 1988 or 1998 - they were just short-hand monikers for NEC's "PC-8801" and "PC-9801" families of computers. 8-bit PC-8801 debuted in the late 1970's; 16-bit PC-9801 debuted in the early-to-mid 1980's. 32-bit PC-9821 launched in the late 1980's or early 1990's. After that, NEC stopped making proprietary computers and became just another IBM PC-compatible maker.

[Thunderbirds76]

Okay, I know now, try making a PC-9821 remix.

[jedi787plus]

It's beyond my current capabilities - the last PC-9821 featured an exotic FM chip by Yamaha called YMF288 or OPN3L, for which there is no existing online datasheet, much less a translated one. My primitive music compiler says it can compile for YMF288, but YMF288 used not only FM and PSG but also PCM samples (called PPZ), and I cannot find a tool for converting WAV to PPZ or whatever format it asks me, hence why ZUN didn't bother to make OPN3L-specific Touhou music - too hard to program.

[rcmero]

Put it as a response to this:

watch?v=gFQFlq38vLk

[gamma3adhexius]

A third good 8-bit base!

[SuperLVW118]

To be honest, I think this is an alternative to Tachin's 8-bit Sparta base.

[ColurfulFish]

lol mini

[azurebobafett]

woohoo!

[juakakoki]

Awesome!

[darthman27]

i love the epicness part! 5/5
