[Top 100 Modern VGTunes] #007 - Cave Story - Moonsong
Consoles: PC, Wii
Developer: Studio Pixel
Original Release: 2004
Song Comments:
Well, it seems like songs having the moon in their name always end up being great. While the classic VGTunes list has The Moon from Duck Tales in the Top 5, this list has Moonsong in the Top 10. And both songs are great in a similar way: Extremely simple, but extremely beautiful to listen to. This is a really great tune despite barely being longer than a minute.
Game Comments:
They say this is the best Freeware game of all time, and it definitely is. It's a great Metroidvania, and even when it was released on Wiiware around six years later, it was one of the best games of the service and one of the best downloadable games in general. If you're stingy, download the free PC version and play it. If you decide not to for whatever reason, you're just being an idiot, seriously. It's free, and it's great!
