I get you , I don ' t think many people listened to it either , but as a music producer and programmer i find it interesting to see how much emotion they put in the tracks with simple sounds . If you listen to some of it , the arrangement and chord progressions aren ' t too far away from the music we make today . It is in some way interesting to think about . When they made games for the older handheld consoles , the technology limited their ability to create proper music , but they managed to do it anyway . If you download 8 bit samples , they just sound like noise on their own , but if you arrange a full drum progression with the samples , our minds then interpret it to sound like real drums if that makes sense
