Interested in making your own 8bit-style music? Japanese chiptune popstar trio YMCK have ‘Magical 8bit Plug’, a free VST audio plugin that emulates the 8-bit sounds of the Nintendo Famicom/NES. The plugin is available for PC and Mac and will run on any software that supports AU or VST, including Cubase, Logic and Garageband. 8bit Plug is capable of some pretty impressive sounds that come remarkably close to the hardware they imitate.
