Crapman - A Game For Real Heroes

A Pac-Man clone with excellent chiptune music by Joris de Man, released on the Atari ST in '93.

After the Atari era with music for Crapman and other productions he (Joris de Man) went on to bigger projects, like making music for the Killzone games.

Joris is also the man who called himself Scavenger in the good old days.

The Sega Mega Drive / Genesis console from 1988 has two sound chips, a Yamaha YM2612, amongst other things providing six FM synthesis channels, and a Texas Instruments SN76489, giving three additional square wave channels / noise.

You can hear them here in the Overdrive demo by Titan (Sega Mega Drive / Genesis, 2013)

Tao - Intensity (Atari ST, 1997)

The Atari Falcon is the successor of the Atari ST/E models, released in 1992 but discontinued already in 1993. It includes a DSP chip (a Motorola DSP56001) that can be used to complement the sound chip that otherwise has the same capabilities as the ST.

Here is music made in ACE Tracker 2.

I want to recommend Master Boot Record. Chiptunes meet metal.

They have a bandcamp.

Reminds me of 386DX (Alexei Shulgin), though not exactly "chiptune" (video game)

256 Bytes is enough for a rave party:

As an old C64 and EDM fan I must say so impressive, even if it was a full program, not to talk about 256 byte code.
