So, anyone else on here into classic Game Boy/Game Boy Color chiptunes? Share your favorite game soundtracks or homebrew tunes 😀
Apart from the rather usual suspects I'm a big fan of the work of Alberto Jose González. Definitely deserves more recognition. Some of my favorite soundtracks from him:

It should also be noted that he started his composing on the ZX Spectrum. The sound output of that machine seems fairly similar, and a lot of the techniques used on that system were definitely carried over to the Game Boy and were used with games well into the 2000's. Likewise for other 80s game consoles and home computers. That way a whole new generation of people (like me) got to experience chiptune awesomeness 😀
To name a bit more well-known composer, David Wise (of Donkey Kong Country fame) did some amazing work on the Game Boy too. Dig this soundtrack a lot:
