The Best of Retro VGM #1517 - Black Box Selection (NES/Famicom)
[PLEASE READ:
WELCOME! ENTRANCE TO HELL!
I would like to introduce all of you to Game Music History! Looking at the results of the Strawpoll poll I did recently, it appears most of you are interested in a huge chrono-VGM project seeing as The 16-Bit Comepndium idea won. Personally, I really wanted to do both so, I thought to myself "What the hell, let's do it.". Unfortunately, there's a catch. Because of the scope of this project, I had to cut corners somewhere and I've decided to focus solely on consoles, handhelds and an occasional arcade game. Sorry for those that may be disappointed, but it would be simply too much for me to handle. Hell, if you want to help me out with this project as-is now, I'd be grateful. As to the cuttoff point, I don't know yet. I would love to cover 8-bit and 16-bit eras at least, preferably more. For those who are tired of my gimmicks and such, good news: for the time being, this is going to be purely a side thing, it won't be updated daily (at least for now) and it's not gonna stop the normal schedule.
We kick this whole mess off a with selection of jingles from Black Box-era NES games. They may be simple, but we wouldn't be here without them!]
