  • 505 – Pokey Love

    505 – Pokey Love

    Pokey Love is a compilation of 505?s chiptunes created on Atari XL/XE. The tunes were composed between the years 2002 and 2011 – whenever a wave of Atari 8-Bit attraction striked again. While the Pokey sound is certainly not the technically most brilliant, it has a clean, sweet and uniquely limited sound – taking you back to a 1980s childhood escorted by the little Atari.
