I have grown to just dislike 99% of all christmas music. I downloaded that just for Carol of the Bells, as I still like that song. I can't listen to any of the rest of that, even if it's 8bitified.

It doesn't sound enough like videogame music. It needs percussion and fewer sound channels. Fan works like these mainly serve to remind us how talented the real game composers really were.

Seems to me they just converted the damn things from MIDIs.

How the crap do you unroll a tarball in Windows? BTW I am not a Linux user. I have searched the net high and low and am stumped. I want my 8bit music. Why is this so difficult?

At least the waves are sometimes right. That's pretty pathetic.

Interesting post. However, the image accompanying the post is the album cover for "The 8bitpeoples - 8bits of Christmas", a release from 2003 containing Christmas songs composed on 8 different hardware platforms from the Atari 2600 to the NES to the X68000. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the 16 songs mentioned in this post.

Those interested in the release that is actually pictured in this article can find it here: http://www.8bitpeoples.com

Welcome to the blogosphere, where you can steal an image from anywhere on the Internet and not have to pay royalties to the owners of that image... yet still rake in cash when people read your site and see/visit your advertisers.

Thanks for the note, Nullsleep. The image was in our content management system. Either we or Engadget wrote about the album in the past. Just to be clear: I didn't go to 8bitpeoples.com and gank the image just for this post. It showed up in our CMS when I searched for "christmas."

I'm updating the body of the post now to give credit.

Hey vlad, no worries. I checked out the image location and did notice it was from an engadget post way back when. Thanks for the acknowledgment!
