Classic computer and video game music is still popular, and often old game systems and sound chips are used to generate new tunes.
We received permission from the band 8 Bit Weapon (Seth and Michelle Sternberger) to play some of their tunes at our party this year. They also sent along a sample song to share here on the Atari Party website! They tell me "it's 85% Atari 2600 sounds from a real Atari 2600!"

Flash:
Keep an ear out for the Tempest 2000 soundtrack, either when the game is being played, or when we stick the soundtrack CD in an Atari Jaguar and light up the room with the Virtual Light Machine.
