Summer Chip

12 formats over 3 weeks, some new ones too!

BotB is forcing BotBrs to try some new things. New formats include SNES, Genesis, and PC Engine - a whole lot of 16bit! The cover art for Summer Chip is also one of the formats! Also, BotB honors the memory of Radek (Raster) Sterba with a dual-pokey format as featured in his Raster Music Tracker.

BotBrs demand, BotBrs get.
