Level Up!
(note: just like with any old video game, this page might take a couple extra seconds to load)
For all the gamers out there, this one’s for you. This week’s Throwback Thursday is a little different. Instead of our normal playlist, today we’ll be bringing you some of the greatest songs from our favorite childhood video games! The following songs are some of the most nostalgia inducing jams from the games we grew up with. Some of these are real songs that made their respective games stick with us, and some are just the in-game music but all of them are awesome and sure to take you back. Game on guys.
This list, presented in no particular order, is comprised of the most memorable melodies from some of the most fun games of all time. So many hours of my young life have been spent listening to these songs endlessly while fighting bad guys, racing go karts, hunting ghosts, skateboarding, and collecting stars. Feel free to start blowing the dust out your old N64 cartridges now.
