saw this in the used bins today. may have to go back and buy it. a fucking yars' revenge storybook album. mix of rambling story and actual score with game samples. the song "yars' revenge" is blatantly ripped from "living in the plastic age." "fly yar warriors" is also something but i can't place it right this second. who the fuck made this?

this song from the 7th guest just kinda lives in my head

i'm just a complete sucker for that motif when in the 5 chord the 5th steps down to the 3rd. there's for sure something in earthbound like that too. foundational!

in the cup of coffee song

"Arranging Jazz Standards in Game Soundfonts pt.8" (warning: annoying loud synthetic voices at beginning of video)

did we ever poll video game music?

would we like to?

ok guess not lol i would have just been forcing everyone to listen to nier automata music anyway

i mean, i like the idea but it's so big! You'd have to do it by eras. How do you compare Pac Man interstitial songs to the soundtrack from Journey?
