Me:
1: Sunsoft
2: TIA(2600)
3: KA(Kirbys adventure)
4: Genesis
5: Triangle

I like when they're all done introducing themselves and begin yelling at me

[toto_feather]

The sega genesis basic bass has the most potential to sound incredibly funky without any additional sounds whatsoever, I love it

[Seafor-vl]

Is actually goes so hard when they all combine, wish it was a full song

[adaharrisonn]

I LOVE the kirby one. Its so sharp and bright but fully carries the melody line. Makes you feel fired up.

[DIVISIONBYZEROE]

Whoever composed for SunSoft knew how to make that bass sound absolutely nutty

[arthakkj]

All of them together form a masterpiece

[jno]

They all have their nice unique character, but Genesis Bass is just such a banger man

[Reyn_the_Insane]

Kirby's adventure is one of those rare cases where the triangle wasn't used for the bass, rather they used one of the square channels. That's why KA has such a unique sound signature.

[TurboLoveTrain]

The best visualization of multiphase sampling on the internet.
Sounds amazing.

i LOVE the atari one, but i have always loved the atari 2600 for its visuals and sound and overall aesthetic. it is just so raw and hits you right in the face and i love that lol

[Asriel_AZE]

I think Sega's bass is another level among them. It sounds evolved than others

[thomasrosebrough]

NES triangle is underrated tbh. Its not as good for slappy bass like this, but for held out bass tones it's perfect. Fills out a track nicely without overpowering it.

[Brisbae]

Damn the sunsoft bass is so hard. Sounds like a few layers to it, like you obviously have the sub and it goes really nicely with the soft noise on top, but there’s another really dope organic low-passed layer too. Maybe a guitar or even a found sound idk

[DurvalLacerda]

*NES Sunsoft* (0:09) feels kind intense and scary, as if you were playing a game too late at night and you should've been sleeping already but your parents don't know.

[augustday]

It really is interesting how the different sound chips back then contributed to the identity of a console by limiting the musical range of those games.

[Grimsikk]

Honestly I will forever love the Sega Genesis sound capabilities. The grungy bass lines are gold every time.

[yukiko_]

The fact that these sounds could actually trigger that nostalgia feeling proves how awesome what we have back then

[JozMkII]

That was awesome hearing them all play together at once. I want to hear a fully instrumented song that uses THAT as the bass.

[temporalCaster]

Man I love how they all sound together, something about how cronchy they become just vibes with me on a spiritual, metaphysical, medical level
