In Episode 4 we talk all about Video Games and how their soundtracks achieve so much musically with so little. Sometimes the 'little' is limitations of hardware, other times it's achieving a lot with silence, ambience and sparcity. We give just a few examples from some of our favourite games, but would talk about this topic nigh-endlessly if we could! Did you have any thoughts? Comments?

It’s Halloween season and for me Horror-themed games are fun to play all year round. However, only a select few are best played during Halloween. As a result, horror based games provide not only chills, but bring great memories that amplify the enjoyment of this particular day even more-so. Traditionally, Halloween festivities include trick-or-treating, Horror movie marathons, and costume parties, but when it comes to The retro VGM Revival Hour, This year, like every year, Its about getting yourself ready to get you in the mood to celebrate this holiday the only way I know how: Video Game Music. =====Game - Composer - Title - Year - Company - System==== 1.)
