Rob Hubbard, You, Too?

WTF? A new Hubbard tune? Is this a joke or is 2014 turning into the year of videogame composer comebacks, or what??? Well, the "From Bedrooms to Billions" website sort of confirms the news, so I guess it's true after all.

Download the prod here, in any case.

Daily Dosis: Knuckle Buster OST by Rob Hubbard

Daily Dosis: International Sports Challenge OST

Theoretically it's Hardstyle Friday but oh well...

Also, how come the author of this awesome tune is still unidentified?

Doom for VIC-20

Not sure how this escaped my attention so far but holy sh*t! After almost four years of work, Kweepa has finished his port of Doom for the VIC-20.

The game requires 35K of memory, and a disk drive. 'Nuff said. Download it here.

Daily Dosis: Deactivators OST by Simon PC Frost

Tim Follin Is Back

Unbelievable but true: The videogame music legend Tim Follin returns to the scene with a new game, titled "Contradiction". It's going to be an interactive live-action adventure of sorts. The game is scheduled to be released this spring. Check out the details and watch a teaser on the project's Kickstarter page. The target has been reached already, but you still have a few hours to chip in, if you like.

MOD2VIC - New VIC-20 Music Utility

Good news for all VIC music composers! Pekka Väänänen aka cce has published a python utility that converts standard 4ch MODs to VIC-20 format. So, if you've always dreaded VICtracker and VDI, this is for you.

The utility requires Python 3.3 or higher to run. It also requires the win2c64 assembler, which is included in the download package.

Download mod2vic for Windows here, and check out the source and documentation here.

There's also a fork by Linde, which uses Kickassembler instead of win2c64, making mod2vic platform independant.

Daily Dosis: Abyss OST by Synthicat

Goto80 - cйbзя-tсaя Released

 

Hey guys, look what I had in the mail this morning! Yes, it's the new smash hit album from Goto80. 61 minutes of "this submission is indescribable" crazyness, f*ckyes. This might well be the best Goto80 release to date.

Well, I said Goto80, so you know what to expect. And if you don't, you better hurry to close that educational gap.

The album can be ordered by paypaling 12 EUR to info@goto80.com, or getting in touch directly via fax@goto80.com. Check here for additional info.

Ancient Wonderworld Is Back

Hiya folks, and a slightly belated Happy New Year! Hope the 8/16-bit scene will be even more productive this year.

Also sorry for the unannounced hiatus that was going on lately. Google thinks that if I log in from a slightly different address, I should give them my phone number to confirm my identy. So again sorry, but I do value my privacy. This is just another nuisance that will motivate me even further to finally migrate this blog to Wordpress.

In any case, Ancient Wonderworld is back for now, and hopes to bring you the latest scene news throughout 2014.
