The Endless Acid Banger is a website that will generate an endless and surprisingly-danceable 1990s PC game soundtrack.

Ow. That sounds remarkably like the feeling of a bad trip at a rave, despite being nowhere near as noisy.

I love this?

Gonna realize in two hours that I left this on, and then be okay with that and still leave it on.

I’m mostly upset that this thing is a better musician than I ever will be.

Where are the random sound bites from Blade Runner?

Just noticed that in Safari on a Mac you can get the Ambient Music version of this by putting it in a background tab or minimizing it to the dock, or by just dragging another window on top of it; the music sloooooows waaaaay dooooooowwwwwwnnnnnn.... the OS must be throttling browser events when the window isn't visible. Snazzy

Instantly I am in the headspace of playing Star Control 2.

Now I have a soundtrack for my Shadowrun campaign. Awesome!

It seems to get things right about 80% of the time. About as good as putting the xx,000 mod/s3m/xm/whatever tracks I've accumulated on random, really, but confined to a particular genre.

Finally I can throw away all these Playstation and Xbox demo disks

Guys something is wrong, the game launched and god mode is working, but the trainer music is still playing. Nothing in the .nfo covers this.

Lovely. I'm reminded of AlgoMusic on the Amiga, which could throw in random techno-appropriate speech samples but didn't have the nice-sounding software synths.

I miss acid dance tracks so much. I go nuts when I hear crunchy squares in modern tracks. This is my jam, and apparently you all are my tribe.

Delectably authentic. Could use an occasional voice clip that takes several listens before you can guess what it's saying.

I know exactly the right moves for this.

It's no SSX Tricky soundtrack but it's definitely reminiscent of Star Control 2 or one of those big loud blinky-blink Konami games. Well played.

One click produced a song that sounded absolutely human. The other sounded like Megalovania falling down the stairs.

I like it.
