SampleRadar has released a set of 223 free retro video game samples, previously featured on CM magazine’s cover DVD.

As a child, SampleRadar spent more time than it cares to recall thumbing its Game Boy and loitering in the local arcade. It’s with a degree of sentimentality, then, that it approaches this week’s collection of retro video game sounds. Created using a bevy of hardware and software synths and effects, this is just the sample set you need if you want to create a chiptune opus or give your productions a hint of that 8-bit flavour.
The samples are split into three folders: Beats, FX and Loops. Each contains sounds of that particular variety. All the samples are supplied as 24-bit WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they’re royalty-free, you’re welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like – all we ask is that you don’t re-distribute them.
Retro video game samples are available for free download via SampleRadar.
