I'm interested in #art, #audio, #musicproduction and #gamedev among other things. Looking forward to see familiar and new faces here, feel free to ask anything!
That's by far my favourite (it might be my favourite game track of all time, that's how much I love it), but it's probably good that that's out of the way. I think I'll pick 3 this time b/c I like fighting games too much, & I want to also introduce people to at least 1 they've likely never heard:
I'm going to open up with an interesting one. Back in the early 2000s, many of us had this #LegendOfZelda cover mislabeled as being performed by System of a Down. And re-shared it mislabeled.

⚾🧱 Arkanoid for DOS was developed by the Japanese company Taito in 1988. It successfully continued the brick-breaking genre that Atari had pioneered with the arcade game Breakout in 1976.

🍭🎮 The SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color is a portable console from 1999. It surpasses the Game Boy Color with its 16-bit CPU and a higher-resolution, more colorful screen, but it didn't manage to dethrone it.
🦈🏎️ Wacky Wheels (1994, Apogee Software) is the animal racing game equivalent of Mario Kart for DOS. The developer accidentally sent the source code to another publisher along with a demo version 😱, but the resulting competitor, Skunny Kart, wasn't equally successful.
🩸🏗️ We are slowly approaching the end of the list of games on our "no-LAN" machines - there are still a few 3D shooters left (which we absolutely must present) - this one uses the same engine as Duke Nukem 3D (Build), but it was released a year later. What's its name again? 🤔
