Chasing Down the Voices Behind Chiptune History
A small team in Aswan tracking down composers who scored our favorite games, one interview and one waveform at a time.
Meet the TeamWhat We Stand For
Editorial choices we don't compromise on
Composer-First Reporting
Every profile is built on direct conversation with the composer, not recycled liner notes or secondhand quotes from other outlets.
No Filler, No Clickbait
We publish when there's something worth saying about a score or an artist, not on a content calendar built for pageviews.
Fact-Checked Credits
Sound chip specs, release dates, and composer credits are cross-referenced against liner notes, interviews, and archival sources before publishing.
Fan-Run, Not Corporate
Bopperino Gaming Chronicles is written by people who grew up with these soundtracks, with no affiliate deals shaping what gets covered.

What Readers Say
I sent them a tip about an obscure PC-88 composer and three months later there was a full interview with him. That kind of follow-through is rare on soundtrack sites.
Their piece on FM synthesis techniques in early Sega scores actually explained the technical side without dumbing it down. I printed it out for my own notes.
Found this blog looking for info on a Japan-only release and ended up reading for two hours straight. The composer profiles go deeper than anything else I've found in English.
