Create cool retro sound effects for games

I’ve used these tools a few times before, but couldn’t remember the names just now. Figured I’d post this for my future self. The next time I can’t remember, I’ll search my own blog.

Anyway, two cool tools, one a port of the other. The original is sfxr and you can get it here:

That’s Windows only, so if you’re on Mac, check cfxr here:

Both allow you to make random, or not so random 8-bit type sound effects for games, UIs or whatever. If nothing else, they are really fun to play with. 🙂

    Hey Keith,
    there is a nice as3 port of sfxr, making it multiplatform. Here’s the link (sources are on google code):
