Ever wonder how some of your favorite songs would sound reduced to early 1980's 8-bit arcade audio?

Probably not, but SomethingAwful.com has posted a collection of 16 remakes of popular songs synthesized using the audio system from a NES (Nintendo Entertainment System).


Here's the list of songs:

1. REM - Losing My Religion
2. Europe - Final Countdown
3. Radiohead - Karma Police
4. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
5. Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
6. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
7. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
8. Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
9. Slayer - Angel of Death
10. David Pomeranz - Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now
11. Coldplay - Yellow
12. Rick James - Superfreak
13. Semisonic - Closing Time
14. (Silence)
15. Hidden NESmix Intro
16. Zero Wing (Opening Theme) (4x4 Remix)

These remakes are all great, but the 8-bit versions of Europe's The Final Countdown and Yellow by Coldplay are hilarious. Think of the 8-bit Hits collection as a clever way to spice up your iTunes library. Everyone needs a little more 8-bit in their life anyway, right?
