Music in Video Games \u2013 Girls Don’t Game<\/a><\/p>\n

After a few weeks of inactivity Girls Don’t Game have bounced back with a series of really interesting posts all of which would be worth a mention. But I can only fit one so I selected Music in Video Games as lately I have been listening to a lot of game music lately. Monique shares some of her favourite gaming tunes and she has some great tastes.<\/p>\n

IGN’s Top 100\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not too fussed about these top 100 lists anymore but something in this one got me thinking. I’ve been doing a bit of research into the pre-1985 consoles so your Ataris, Apple II, BBC Micro etc. And what I realized through this research was actually how ground breaking Super Mario Bros (IGN’s number one pick) was.<\/p>\n

Even though there were some ground breaking games on the pre-1985 consoles there hadn’t been anything that had real mass market, global appeal. The crash of 1983 stopped gaming almost to a halt. And then SMB was released in 1985. The thing about SMB was unlike the console titles before it, I was truly ground breaking and had mass market appeal. It not only saved gaming from the pitfalls of despair, it also defines everything right about video games and what every game should\u00a0strive\u00a0to be.<\/p>\n
