Six-Switch Armies

An album made for Atari 2600

Six-Switch Armies started life as the finished soundtrack for an abandoned Atari homebrew game.

The game was all about fast paced two player action and needed music tailored to this task. The severe limitations of the hardware (two note polyphony max and... tunelessness) made this more a effort of creative programming rather than songwriting.

The album comes in two "sides" : one with remastered edits and one with the original (mono) output of the TIA sound. Those who purchase the album (on Bandcamp) will also receive the original source files.
