Northbound – A Night Drive in 1985 | 80s Synthwave, Italo & Soul Full Album (MSX Pixel Art)

It's 1985. Windows down, salt in the air, the city fading in the mirror, and eleven songs to get you home. Northbound is a full-length 80s album that plays like one night: the drive out, the dance floor, the slow dance, the one that got away, and the long road home along the coast. Night-drive synthwave, Italo and Euro disco, synth-soul ballads and one bittersweet Christmas song to close it out. The visuals were drawn under real MSX limits: 256×192 pixels, the original 16-colour palette and an 8×8 font. Just like the home computer we all wanted in 1985. 🎧 Best with headphones, or on an actual night drive.
