Remembering Gaming's Golden Age Through Music
As video game consoles increase in capability, and as the games themselves come to depend more and more upon real songs by real bands for their soundtracks, some gaming musicians are paying homage to the 8-bit tunes of their youth, Urlesque reports.
In the above video, a University of Wisconsin a capella choir called Redefined performs a medley of all your 8- and 16-bit favorites. The first Switched reader to name, in order, the games from which the tunes derive will win our stupefied amazement. To play the Advanced skill level, name the specific stage of the game in which the tune appears.
While these folks, and those featured in Urlesque's other posted videos, reinterpret classic gaming tunes, others are using the format's familiar bloops and bleeps to create their own music. Behold Japanese band YMCK as they achieve the all-time high score for geek nostalgia. [From: Urlesque]
