Echo Screen #8: Video Game Music - The Greatest Hits

The music of video games has changed quite a bit in the last 25 years.  Just compare the fully orchestrated score from Modern Warfare 2 to the squeaks and beeps of the Atari 2600.  Not only has the music matured, but its importance within video games has significantly changed as well.  In this episode of the Echo Screen, the Commmodore and Roo run through the last 20 years of videogame music, picking out their (VERY subjective) favorites from video games past and present - with sample tracks from many of their picks.  From Koji Kondo to the Jonathan Coulton, there's something here for everyone. 

So secure those headphones and crank up the volume as the Clan of the Gray Wolf features the best of video game music!

- (3:00) NES
- (11:45) SNES & Genesis
- (22:00) Nintendo 64 & Playstation
- (31:45) PC
