Ya know, this reminds me... 8-bit, did you know that there is already an 8-Bit Weapon, or whatever that produces 8-bit music with an old NES controller?

Its all about 'Little Sound Dj' for true 8 bit badness...

If you go way back, Qix has some cool proto-tunes in it.

Also, breakout death sounds are great.
