  So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.

  I don't eat fish, but thanks anyway.

  This is the last post you'll see on this blog, unfortunately. The roundup posts have become more of a tedious annoyance now, so there's really nothing left for me to contribute here on GameSpot. It's been fun guys and gals, it was nice meeting and chatting about the vidio gamez, but I'm done.

  Of course, I'm still alive and well on my YouTube channel, so if any of you want to check up on my videos every once in a while, that'll be the place from now on. I had a lot of fun here on GameSpot, but honestly this site just isn't the same and it's time to move on. Blame Jeff Gerstmann.

  Take care y'all, and catch you on the Yootoobs. Gar out.

  The Music of Video Games, Roundup No. 11 (Entries 100-110)

  Well, this one's pretty self-explanatory. All 16-bit titles, and nearly every one of them is a known gem of the past, so there's probably a few games in there that you played a hell of a lot of and enjoyed the tunes as well.

  From Bleeps to Beats, The Music of Video Games

  Entry 101 - Super Mario RPG

  Entry 102 - Tetris Attack

  Entry 103 - Streets of Rage

  Entry 104 - Streets of Rage 2

  Entry 105 - Streets of Rage 3

  Entry 106 - Mortal Kombat

  Entry 107 - SimCity

  Entry 108 - Super Punch-Out!!

  Entry 109 - Sonic CD

  Entry 110 - Secret of Mana

  If you were a Super Nintendo kid back in the day and let the Streets of Rage franchise pass you by, you missed out on some great soundtracks. At least you got a few vids, and while you're at it, go for Secret of Mana and Super Mario RPG, I know you want to. More later this week. Gar out.

  The Music of Video Games, Roundup No. 10 (Entries 91-100)

  Time to break out the Doritos and the Mountain Dew, because the series has finally hit 100 entries. Still tons of 16-bit games to cover, leaving me to contemplate just how many more hundred videos I'll make in the future. I just thought I was making a little video feature about sweet gaming tunes, but now I've morphed into this completist mega-nerd seeking to leave no stone unturned, so I guess this'll just go on for many months to come.

  From Bleeps to Beats, The Music of Video Games

  Entry 91 - Snatcher

  Entry 92 - Zelda: A Link to the Past

  Entry 93 - Equinox

  Entry 94 - The Secret of Monkey Island

  Entry 95 - Street Fighter II

  Entry 96 - Donkey Kong Country

  Entry 97 - Donkey Kong Country 2

  Entry 98 - Donkey Kong Country 3

  Entry 99 - Maniac Mansion

  Entry 100 - Day of the Tentacle

  Yep, SF2 and the DKC games have cool music, I agree. That being said, I'd like to bring Snatcher to your attention. Like just about everything else in this game (maybe not the voice acting), the music is phenomenal if you ask me. Seriously Kojima, please go back to this franchise after you've served the fanboys your latest offering of cyber-chicks and ninjas running about. Just too good to let it die in obscurity like that. If you've ever heard the song 'Heat Miser' by Massive Attack, I'm quite certain you'll especially like the first tune in the video. If you haven't heard that song, well, stop reading this blog and go to iTunes or something like that. Gar out.
