Old Hardware

Polybius: Music With Retro Technology

02/12/2013 By ausretrogamer

This could be the coolest use of old home computers and consoles. We all love playing video games on these nostalgic time pieces, but Glasgow filmmaker, James Houston decided to use these so-called outdated relics for something totally unique, creating music!

James uses Sega Mega Drives, an Atari 2600 Jr, Game Boys, disused floppy disk drives and even a Commodore 64 amongst the repertoire of old equipment. The acoustics within the dry swimming pool just add to the awesome sound. Turn it up and enjoy!
