Pure Synth Retro Arcade - 210 8-Bit Sound Effects

No AI: every sound in this pack was computed by our own synthesis code, written in Python. No AI, no samples and no recordings went into it. The zip includes a PROVENANCE.md that lists the method and every tool.

210 8-bit sound effects for platformers, shooters and arcade games: coins, gems and keys, jumps and dashes, lasers and blasters, hits and explosions, power-ups, menu and text blips, alarms, game over and win jingles.
