This is a hark back to how I used to make chirp-choons back in the 90s, talk about setting the bar low smile
Virtually no sound design, and all the genre tropes are in there.

Seriously though, I miss the format of the cheesy endlessly-repeating small-filesize tune.

Nice chords and pretty funky for being so squarely in the chiptune vein.

So much fun, made me smile! Melody is catchy as, still boppin' along to it.

No shame in your game! I love it! I've got a c64, kerberos, and sidwizard...I think I should give this a shot...

I do love me some SID vibes, this is sweet. smile

Love this!

yeeee boiiii! so much fun.

Gracias, muchachos! heart

Cheerful-chip achievement! Reminds me of innocence and the anticipation of not entirely legitimate software - sweet!

GOOD!! LOVE!!

Excellent 90's feeling... Was that made on a real Amiga or tracked in a modern computer?

I've got my Amiga 600 ready for this year's WB, so maybe we could make some beatiful 4k compo week edition smile

It was made on a real Commodore64 actually, but I was going for the Amiga feel smile

Deal! Defs up for some Amiga protracking this year.


Ohhhh maaaannn!!   Yeah - you can't fault a real SID chip :-)  Sounds lush mate.  You've nailed everything from filters to res to drums so well.  For a machine that's so damn hard to work with.  Looking forward to some iLKke tracks this year!

Ahh, takes me back to the late 80's, the smell of leaking electrolyte in the capacitors of a crt screen and my pre-yellow C64 setup smile . So much win crammed in the Sid chip, good job on getting it out!

Love it! I need to see if I can get one of my c64 boxes running this year! I had a pile of them but no power supply!

Mate! One of these days you'll give it a go and you're gonna kill it on your second try.
Then you'll be kicking yourself you didn't do it sooner smile

Radmobile!

So much love for this track and the sound! Can I get a copy on floppy?

niiice, authentic 90s smile

dem amiga feels. oh yay, love it smile

Oh, this is awesome.  Great melodic hook, masterful chip-funk.  Would play the Atari cartridge game this goes with.

Thanks everyone!
I didn't really think much of the track before, but now you made me like it more smile
There'll probably be another cracktro or two later in the year.
