I always thought some chiptunes, especially using Atari POKEY, could work as orchestral pieces.

So I decided to orchestrate a few!

This is "Global War" by Peter Elfinger. Here's the original:    • Peter Elfinger - "Global War" -- Chip...  

I could've polished this more but given the obscurity of this piece, I decided to upload it as it is.
