In this video I check out the SOCAL Labs 8-bit Treat VST plug-ins released by Tracktion developers. These plug-ins are available in 32 and 64 bit and as AU, VST, and Linux VST.
I play demos on some famous video game MIDI files and then examine each plugin in depth.
Quite quirky but definitely some good stuff here, esp. for chip junkies 
Check out the plug-ins here:
