It can be a tempting thing, on YouTube, to fall into the trap of oh… it’s just a bunch of shitty Vlogs and regurgitated content from various other media sources.

Thankfully, user garudoh has been proving us all wrong for the past year with his enormous collection of game music retrospectives. At the link above are three playlists containing a total of 500 games worth of music and gameplay samplings. While yes, it is a bit of reguritation, it is a very apt collection that obviously took a lot of effort to compile. He also knows what he’s dealing with, including some very rare gems that either never made it to the US or were so obscure that they didn’t get much attention.

While 500 videos at 8-10 minutes a piece is a daunting task, give it a browse… Maybe you’ll find some tunes from that old game you used to play but forgot existed.
