Old Video Game Music
Simmy \| 4:48 PM on 03.01.2008	8 comments

Music has always been a part of video games, and some of the older stuff is among the best. Recently I've been listening to some of the music so that I can figure out how to play the stuff on guitar. This presents a problem if the game in question isn't part of the emulated games collection.
This is where this site comes in handy. it allows for the downloading of many different game soundtracks, all in mp3 format. I've mainly used it for the Sonic games that came out on the Mega Drive.
Being able to play the music from the Marble Run zone from the original Sonic never gets old to me...

EDIT: Although this might not be new news, I thought I'd just use it as an excuse to tell people that I can play various video game themes on guitar

You might also want to look here. I'm consistently blown away by what's available. Additionally, If you have Winamp you can set it up to be able to play the game music tracks in their original format using plugins... this can give you a more authentic experience, but it does take a little more work. If you do that, you can download lots of game music tracks from Zophar's Domain one of the oldest NOT emulation sites on the web.

@Simmy:"...Marble Run zone from the original Sonic..."
