Famitracker - Sonic and Knuckles - Flying Battery Zone Act II (VRC6 8-bit Mix)

My friend SandSh8rk mentioned covering this song earlier today, and since I love practically all of Genesis Sonic's OSTs, I figured why not, so that's what I did for the past hour or so. I wasn't too happy with it at first, but for some reason I really love that echo in the last part of the song.

Stop calling this stuff 8-bit. It isn't fucking 8-bit. But it is a solid remix.

Masterful, your skill and technique has truly grown compared to your early work. It is clearly obvious with this cover! I think KoopaEater may be right...could it really be better than the original? =O

8bitDanooct1 teach me plzz the dpcm and noise  awesome song by the way your a pro with a capital P

[XAutopilotX]

@MegaMacTV Yes, yes it could. But the question is could it be better than the original?

@3dmarth

I suppose that the reason why the 8-bit Game Boy sound chip is inside the GBA and GBASP is because it uses that chip for the older games. e.g. GB and GBC.

[3dmarth]

@aidanrayner999 The Genesis contains both an "8-bit" PSG (same as Master System and Game Gear) and a "16-bit" synthesizer chip. It often used both in the same game. The Game Boy Advance also has the old Game Boy sound chip along with the newer one. And yeah, like KaosuKaiari said, a more advanced synthesizer can make primitive sounds, though that's not usually the case.

Oh, and if you hear a system like the SNES or PlayStation doing 8-bit, it's really just playing a recording of 8-bit sounds.

Sounds like Tornado Man.

This man, 8BitDanooct is Jesus re-incarnated. nuff said.

Amazing remake. Might even be better than the original. Coming from a Genesis zealot, that means a lot.

@KoopaEaterMKII NO, NO, AND NO. NEVER. D:

@KaosuKaiari

A quote from Wikipedia:

"Texas Instruments SN76489 - It contains three square wave tone generators and one white noise generator."

I think that's the definition of 8-bit.

Also, the master system uses this chip (note that it uses the SN76489A, it's just a newer version).

TL;DR: Yes. You are right.
