Welcome to Turrican!

One of the best Game-Chiptunes ever, the title track of "Turrican" for the Commodore Amiga. Made by Chiptune-God Chris Hülsbeck.

Did you know that he´s still producing game music? He is currently working on some titles for the iPhone, i.e. Zombie Smash ( http://gamedrs.com/all-games/games/zombie-smash/ ).

This guy has to keep composing...

  3. Of course chiptune is good :) It depends on the artists, I give you that, but there is very cool stuff out there.

  4. Yes yes yes, this is the first Chiptune blog I've seen so far. It's not my favorite techno genre, but most raves I go to incorporate it, kinda like a mix of gameboy with hardstyle. Either way, it's not my absolute fave, but I sure as hell dance to it.

  5. I'm proud to admit I already respected Hulsbeck and knew that he was still in the game.

    Thanks for getting his work out there though, he deserves it!

  6. Most contemporary techno music uses "chiptuney" elements, even chart music does (think Timbaland). It is a very influential kind of music. By the way, I love it, but i cannot imagine dancing to it :)
