Episode 90 - Sounds of the Classics: Listener Grabbag Volume 1
For me, music is one of the core components that contributes to the enjoyment, and engagement, of a video game title, and this episode is another of our deep dives into some of the classic soundtracks from those games. In today's episode, we'll look at a selection of games and songs submitted by all of you, along with your own personal comments and memories about these titles!
