If you are anything like me (which you aren’t), you easily tire of the same old department store Christmas music. To kick myself out of a Nat King Cole induced coma I decided to put together the most complete collection of all 8-bit Chistmas music the internets has to offer. This one goes out to you gamers, nostalgia lovers, gimmick freaks, and good old fashioned Nat King Cole haters.
These may not be a strictly “8-bit” albums but they have enough chiptune on them I thought they were close enough to include:
Christmasasaurus Vol 1 – Free (download)
Christmasasaurus Vol 2 – Free (download)
Christmasasaurus Vol 3 – Free (download)
Christmasasaurus Vol 4 – Is currently being put together.
12/16/09 UPDATE: Her are a few new other compilations I’ve found since originally publishing: It’s A Chiptune Holiday – $8.99 from 8 Bit Weapon Happy Holidays from Foundation 9 – Not sure how to get a hold of this one yet.
Holiday EP – By Animal Style, I’m not sure where to find this one either.
