Turn 8-Bit NES music into Rock Band tracks
April 7th, 2009 by Sean
Insignificant Studios’ 8bitar Hero procedurally generates four Rock Band patterns from the audio of someone playing an emulated NES game, all in real-time.
8BITar Hero is basically Rock Band except with a Nintendo emulator generating the music and levels. Taken from the 8BITar Hero website:
Gameplay levels that are procedurally generated from the act of playing a game. One person plays NES games on an emulator, others play a Rock-Band game with levels that are generated algorithmically from the audio code of the NES game. The focus here is the generative nature of the game, and the process by which the levels are created.
So this is basically filed under “something I had no idea I wanted to do, until I realized I had the opportunity to do it”.

Play Tetris Online For Free
November 23rd, 2008 by Sean
It’s most likely you’ve come to know about Tetris through many hours of button-pounding on the Nintendo Game Boy back in the mid 1980′s.
Even though Nintendo helped bring Tetris to the masses, the real hero is inventor Alexey Pajitnov, a Russian genius with a fixation for puzzles.
Well moments ago, I added our Tetris tribute for all to enjoy into our free online game room.
Like all our other classic games, Tetris was hand-coded using Adobe Flash and is free to use and play on the Modern Classic Gaming website.
Please make sure JavaScript is enabled and you have the latest Flash Player installed on your computer to play Tetris.
For full details on how to play Tetris, game controls, etc., please see the Tetris page or our main game room page.
We hope that you like playing Tetris and of course all of our other classics. Enjoy!
