Your Personal Gaming Soundtrack

[sloan]

Do you find yourself playing classic games to music from the same era? Like playing Colecovision titles to early 80's MTV hits, or playing PSX to mid 90's rock radio staples? To me it just seems natural. It takes me back to that time. If you have ever played some of the arcade compilation discs, they have a virtual arcade interface with period music playing. Reminds me of my long-ago days spent at the arcades. Any others besides me that like to do the same?

Whenever I think of Genesis games I think of Wang Chung's Dance Hall Days. I guess it was on at a party my dad's boss was throwing. The adults were talking and having a good time, and the first lesbian I ever met was the bosses daughter, and she and her brother wanted all of us t o"fight" in their garage, I told my parents but they said itd be fun. Well I went in there and we were really fighting, and one kid in a cowboy hat was hitting me really hard, so I pushed him into stuff and a bunch of tupperware crates with clothes and stuff came down on him, oh well. But besides that it was the first time I played a Genesis.

Sounds slightly psycho for a boss' party, along with the fighting lesbian stuff. Your dad said it would be 'fun'?! Dance Hall Days is excellent music to game by though.

I love Rush and Ive got most of their albums on vinyl. Whenever I would play Devils Crush I would always play the Hemispheres album.
Whenever I would play Shining Force II i would always listen to the Power Windows album.
Signals and Grace Under Pressure are also great albums to listen to while playing games.
