Hot Streaming 8-bit Goodness



8bit

I recently discovered kohina which streams 8/16 bit music straight from consoles like the commodore 64 and atari 2600.  Now if you are a geek like me this is some awesome news as this has become my background music when I am at work and I am gonna get my fm transmitter out and see if I can stream from my phone to my car stereo which would be hellakool!

Kohina is a free "just for fun" web stream, streaming the classic 8/16 bit computer, arcade, and console music of our misspent youth, as well as the latest scene music from the platforms that remain active.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

    Kohina's ok for kids. The website looked like the Matrix though.

    For kids trying new things out, Kohina is pretty cool already.

    Oh man…Atari's really ancient. I bet they can get a good price on Ebay.

    This is just great. I remember a lot of tones in my console box which I always loved to have .. I remember the ninja turtle soundtrack.

    Well it's a good idea dude. Almost all game music is in .midi, but still nice to hear.

    I think kohina's is not just for kids, but also for the gamer fan.
