One midi sequencer that is rarely mentioned is The Jazz Midi Sequencer. It uses a piano roll interface, and is pretty powerful for a free tool. While I tend to use Anvil Studio for basic composing if possible (and sometimes break into the Event editor to use the effects that they make you pay extra for), Jazz makes it much easier to use effects like pitch bend, vibrato, LFO effects and what-not. I think it actually has all the standard midi features available to you.

I haven't used any midi trackers, though, so I couldn't really compare them. I still have the old installer zip file for Jazz 4.0.0 and 4.0.3 from before they went open-source compile-it-yourself. Jazz 4.0.0 works great in WINE, if anybody cares. Just have to have Timidity or what-not, of course.

Interface takes some getting used to, but once you do, you'll be flying if you don't mind piano roll.

Very video gamey.

Most video gamey release I've seen yet.

Oh yeah, I have to mirror Chainsaw Police's praise of the PU sound design. I've just been getting into pulse chan experimentation myself after happening across a recent thread, so my ears are wide open, and this is just so good.

Ah... I see. Well you certainly put that 2nd lsdj to good use. To my ears most 2lsdj stuff I've heard feels awkward and forced and unnatural and overnonlimited, but the atmosphere created by that oscillating bass and the spacy arps really just takes my mind away from the technical aspects of the creation of the music.

I don't know the limitations of C64 music, but that is what this feels like to me, in a very good way. It's very comfortable for me to listen to because I keep forgetting that it's 2xLSDJ Gameboy music. I'm looking for a .mod file or something...

Uhmn... that kick... though... It almost sounds like one of those deep "talking" African hand drums. I can't get over it... and the snare is great too. They're like a glass of ice cold water after a brisk tooth-brushing.

As for criticism, I don't know if it's just my headphones or what, but the mix does seem a bit dense at times (could just be my headphones, though), and the wave lead is constantly scratchy. I would have liked to hear it smoothed out at times, (maybe maybe maybe nitpicking for nitpicking's sake).

Oh, and it's too short (But it's loopable so that's okay. I'll just throw it into the playlist 2 or 10 times). /obligatory criticism

I love the pitch bending on that kick, MANNNN. And the arps are really pretty, and everything it's just so smooth and comfy.

This sounds cool. Really liking the bass and the lush smooth sound of everything overall.

You guys look like brothers or father and son or something, hehe.

I don't listen to chiptunes as opposed to another genre of music. I listen to chiptunes in addition to other genres of music.

I listen to chiptune because it sounds cool and sometimes has catchy melodies. My first introductions to chiptune were always great music (Seiklus OST, demos, Lyle In Cube Sector OST, Donkey Kong Land, Legend of Kage, Nullsleep, Pixel, Rockman Chiptuned, etc...), so I associate chiptune with great music.

Don't know if it's been suggested already, but: "Eternal Champions". Better fatalities than MK with the fluid fighting system of the Street Fighter series. Think what you may, but I enjoyed EC way more than MK and SF combined. It's pretty difficult, though.

NBA Jam (wait... there was a Genesis version, right?)
Outrun
Atomic Runner

And, as all the typical recommendations have been taken (Gunstar Heroes, Contra Hard Corps, etc): "Risk". I just love that game. Only on the Genesis though, because I can't stand board games in general.
