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. Go to Full Review

05/05/2011 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. See more 09/27/2010 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. See more 08/10/2010 (Watched Sun 17 Aug 2008) See more Read all reviews
