Hi everyone! I am looking for bad sounding samples, with 80's flavor if possible. Something that sounds really cheap, like drum beats and hits from one of those synths that looked like they are made for kids at the time. Maybe some 80s Casio keyboards? I seem to remember that there were some free ones to download somewhere, but I just can't remember where it was. Does anyone knows where to find something like that?

There are tons of drum samples in the KB6 archive, including a bunch from old Casio keyboards, most freely downloadable, though some are only available with a donation:

Perhaps not quite what OP is asking for, but here are some commercial collections of good samples run through "bad" samplers:

Also, Plogue Chipsounds includes an entire Amiga tracker set of sounds (in addition to various arcade game, console and retro computer stuff), a lot of which is simple samples of classic keyboards like Roland D-50, in a very simple form that would use a minimum amount of storage.

Chipsynth SFC is also a sampler emulating the limitations of the Super Nintendo's sound engine, though it's a little later and more capable, it sure is very retro.

And back to the free side, not just a Casio, but a toy Casio. Over 1 GB but that's probably a lot of redundant data from robot-sampling every key? https://www.dixonbeats.com/products/db1-vst-plugin
