      Sara Reihani Bitch Media The diversity of artists and depth of analysis in RTP illustrates that chiptune isn't just a big nostalgia trip for people who played Zelda. Dec 23, 2020 Full Review Scott Weinberg Cinematical These guys make funky dance music out of old Nintendo games! Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 19, 2008 Full Review Brian Gibson Film School Rejects The film is a visceral experience that grabs you by the collar and yells, 'Hey! Watch, listen and enjoy.'

      Audience Member So I love chiptune music, and I appreciate what these guys have done individually, but the documentary as an overview falls flat. The cinéma vérité interviews don't really go anywhere, but expose "the scene" as bunch of LSDJ enthusiasts who got together and put on a show. My stomach churned whenever anyone got grandiose or waxed poetic. The best parts were the footage from Blip Festival and when the artists got personal with how they craft. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Live performances and interviews mingle in a feature-length profile of the chiptune genre of music and its various artists and styles. A good starting point if you've never heard of chiptunes, especially for the sight of raves led by a guy on a Game Boy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member (Watched Sun 17 Aug 2008) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
