8-bit Jesus: Christmas Carols Performed in Retro Game Style

December 22, 2008

Here's some holiday gaming awesomeness, just in time for December 25th.

GameCyte reports that Doctor Octoroc is offering 18 classic Christmas carols, arranged in 8-bit game style.

The mp3 files are free to download and a physical CD, complete with appropriately retro cover, is available for a mere $15.

Here's the track list. Note the fun that the good doctor had with the titles:

We Three Konami
8 Days of Master Robots
Ryu, The Red Nosed Ninja
We Wish You A Merry Faxanadu
Silent Knight Man
Carol Of The Belmonts
Contraland
Little Drummer Nemo
Joy To Commando

Deck The Kremlin
Icarus! The Angels Sing
The Legend Of Noel
O Come, All Ye Vampires

I love that cover! My boyfriend hates Christmas music, but I love it. Finally something we can both listen to in the car :)

White Xmas=Have a final little fantasy

Frosty the snowman= silent night man, tho it it could be a silent night parody.

I downloaded it at home and now I am at work and can't listen to it. I can't wait until I get home and can finally listen to it.

This is a great find! I love how it blends the game music with the Christmas music.
