Retro Videogames Synthesized

This is one of our most popular sound libraries, preferred by creators for more than 10 years straight. To celebrate this best-selling collection of old-school videogames, we updated the content with new versions of all the sounds made from scratch using professional analog modular synthesizers to get that supreme vintage sound that this collection is famous for.

All sound files are organized into folders that represent the most common use of the sounds inside them.

That doesn’t mean that a sound from one category can’t be used for an event belonging to another category, or a category that is not included in the folders. The synthesized sounds that were used in retro games were used differently per game genre and usually were something that gave their creators their signature style.

So you can just use your taste and combine events with sounds freely. Apart from that freedom, the organization that we used will make it very easy to find the sounds you need.

There are 14 folders in the library and their titles are: Alarms, Appear, Death, Destruction, Energy, Hit, Jump, Magic, Pick Up, Power Up, Step, User Interface, Vehicles, and Weapons.

On the root of the library, you will find 4 folders, which are:

• Original
• Game Console
• Desktop Computer
• and Handheld Console

The “Original” folder contains the original sounds (duh), which is the pure version of our renders. The next three folders contain the same sounds as the “Original” folder processed through our special emulators, to give them the distinctive sound of each machine. The folder’s name denotes the emulation style.

It’s not necessary to use sounds from the same emulation folder, you can mix and match to create your style. You could even choose different emulations for different kinds of sound in your game. There is no limit.
