8-bit Manics
Motorcycle Emptiness in 8-bit.
I love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K21RDeYn7Ks If any of you find any other Manics' songs in 8-bit versions, please, share them here.

Absolutely fantastic! Reminds me of computer game music for the ZX Spectrum.

Some kind of awesome!
The cat has just been sick in four different places, and I really needed something to cheer me up! Edit: FIVE different places.

Mario Street Preachers! (That was in no way an attempt to spark another Popcorn-type thread!)

Might as well toss in this page with MIDI files of most of their songs.

Actually, there is a way to easily convert midis into 8 bit. That Motorcycle Emptiness was possibly done this way too. Not sure, of course.

Don't forget:
 I'd actually rather see people make Manics songs with the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive soundchip. Would be more to Sean and Richey's tastes.

Back in the 90s we used to download these .MID files to listen to in college in a completely non-ironic fashion; you could pull one of these down in a few seconds whereas an MP3 from napster, if it would connect, would take hours for a single song. And you'd have the dilemma of where to store a 4Mb file whereas you could fill a floppy disk with these things.
Ach, you kids now with your myspace and your snapchat... don't know you're born.
