About
This is a subreddit for all those games you played in your youth which had soundtracks worthy of sitting and doing nothing but listening for half an hour! The beauty of the SID chip, the glorious 3 channel Spectrum tones, the Amiga, the ST, Genesis and SNES just to name a few. If you still love that song post it here for others to enjoy!
Rules
- Place the title of the game and the name of the system in the title of the post.
- Video game covers are allowed, but professional quality only. For amateur-ish covers, try /r/gamecovers instead.
- Only post retro game music. What is retro? All consoles that are 5th generation or earlier. If it's 6th gen, Dreamcast or later, then it's considered modern.

16-bit music video
I wrote a song in Italo-disco style. It's awesome and dancefloor-tested! Now I want to release it and make a music video with a vibe like Sega/Nintendo 16-bit games (kind of a tribute to the 1971 movie Duel). Where should I start? Where can I find creators who make these kinds of videos and like-minded people? I’m totally new to this.

I've always hated the music for the boss rush at the end of MMII since it constantly switches between the typical boss theme and wily stage 3-5 music. I decided to layer each boss's stage theme on top of the typcial boss music which would change depending on which boss you were fighting (with Wily stage 1 playing in the hub area). Thought it turned out pretty sick!

To the person/people responsible for the 'Arcade Player' Spotify channel:
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for the (semi recent?) addition of the soundtrack to D&D:WotES! (Dungeons and Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun. A Genesis must own!)
Anyway, your shit slaps! I was extremely pleased to hear a fresh take on the entire song library that gave it it's proper justice!
Where is the 5/10 minute version of each song? Please!?!? That loop needs to happen my dudes.
Thanks for reading, be excellent to eachother!

Looking for help finding credits
Hi all, I'm looking to find credits for composers on the original arcade OSTs for Elevator Action. My research has lead me to websites in Japanese. I could always just write to Taito I guess.
This is for a musical project, I basically made a 3rd song by combining the melody from Elevator Action with the bassline from Moon Patrol. If anyone cares to listen to it it's on my soundcloud under this handle. Ok cheers.
