The 8bitpeoples first came together in 1999 as a collective of artists sharing a common love for classic videogames and an approach to music which reflected this obsession. Our primary interests were to provide quality music for free and most importantly to have fun. In the years since, we have grown in rank and expanded our goals.

“Epic story of a mysterious stranger with a harmonica who joins forces with a notorious desperado to protect a beautiful widow from a ruthless assassin working for the railroad.”1
Frau Holle, formerly known as firestARTer aka Thomas Margolf, the self-named ‘Oldschool-Audio-Nerd’ is a traditional electronic-bedroom musician. In his youth, he played in several Bands but also worked on his own electronic music, made with the first trackers that were coming up. Since the middle 90’s his artist name is firestARTer. But since too many firestarters showed up he decided change his name into Frau Holle.
December is chiptunes month! Chiptunes all month long — can’t go wrong!
Everquest is pretty much the Yin to Ultima Online’s Yang. You can still play both in their old-style, archaic, beautiful madness if you look at Project 1999 and Second Age, respectively.
Rendered from MIDI via FluidSynth, these few songs make a good way to vaguely call back to the last episode while reminding listeners that the feed address is changing, as of December 1st, it will be http://feeds.feedburner.com/4040AD.
Ultima Online is such a great game that it continues to be played today, even with the limitations of its engine; the non-online Ultima games are still worth playing through if you can get used to the archaic quirks of DOS, even Akalabeth. It should be noted however, “worth playing” does not necessarily mean “worth beating.”
Someone named Diz made a modern soundtrack for Ultima Online, aptly titled Recall, to improve upon its aging MIDI tracks. In my judgement, Diz has succeeded brilliantly. All the tracks in this episode are freely available for download on Diz’s website.
