that's a difficult one, there are so many good ones, but, the one which looped for the longest in life, an "of all time" would have to be

Lightforce by Rob Hubbard

I-ball was pretty great too, and of course Parallax got a few all night long loops.  Wizball.  ah crumbs  Arcade Classics.  ooowargh, mega-apocalypse 2, and, and ... We are blessed

part of my brain is going "chipmusic is dead, cipmusic is dead", and in 10 years it might well be that.

--------------------------- edit ------->

"Chipmusic Is Dead, Chipmusic Is Dead" is less ambiguous

1. How long have you been making chiptunes?

- Rob Hubbard mainly

3. What do you personally use to produce chiptunes (Hardware and Software)?
- tracker

4. What genre of music (besides chip) inspires you the most?
- lots; electro, detroit, hardcore, ambient, gospel, And rhythm and blues, and jazz, All those are just labels, We know that music is music

5. What do you know about music theory? Have you ever taken a formal music class?

7.a. If so, Where?

7.b. What's your motivation to perform live?
- chics and druqxs of course. Probably helps explain why I cba any more.

7.c. What kind of gear do you use at your shows?
- we used to take the two Amigas and have to synch them manually (pressing the F keys at the same time) if they went out from the initial midi signal.  a couple of old TV's which sometimes got fed through the mixer too.  some of my dads guitar pedals and sometimes a keyboard or two.

well butter my muffins !

moody, restrained and powerful.

thank you for making and sharing this.

so much of the stuff posted on here sounds like a bad in-joke from the 80's, mastered on gameboy earphones, but gems like this make it all worthwhile.

ahh, oh, balls.

that "2 weeks left" banner caught my eye.

at least I got one ready for next year

I quite liked it, specially the first track.

It's a bit arrogant of me to think I know what's going on in your head, but at times it seemed like the chipmusic aspect of it was holding you back rather than inspiring you, if that makes any sense.

Love your writing style.

I have felt a painful your blog-shaped-hole in my web start up folder for months now.

Thank you for making this.
