Lemmings. Specifically, the Acorn version.

Back before the wondrous digital clarity that dedicated sound cards brought us there were often significant differences in how the same piece of music sounded on different platforms, depending on the abilities of the on-board sound chip at the time. Compare, for example, the Acorn and the Amiga arrangements of the Lemmings signature tune. The Amiga one just sounds wrong to me, even though I’m sure far more people grew up with that than the Acorn version.

Meanwhile, a piece of music I had completely forgotten about until it showed up in my little youtube sidebar – Uplink: Blue Valley.

After a brief intermission, Unreal Tournament.

It depresses me when I remember that Unreal Tournament was released thirteen years ago. I’m an old man.

Dustforce.

The recent Steam sale reminded me of just how damn good the music in Dustforce is.
