There was a definite style to a lot of e.g. game music on the amiga that made it feel quite unique both at the time and since, and listening to this reminds me of that style.

'the number of voices is limited to four. To have something similarly to chords, the three notes of it are repeated very fast. This makes MODs sound so freaky.'

This is possibly why this stuff sounds so unique. Interesting how a technical limitation can result in unintended stylistic consequences.
