Hi there. Guys, I'm Mystic Hero and I'm interest in history of chiptune and 8-bit. I'm working on presentation about chipmusic and may be there are some scientist, who are working on that sphere or making some materials about history of chiptune and 8-bit. If you know some interesting links or information about history of that genres (not wikipedia), could you share it with me? I would be much appreciated.
