Ah yes. Retro Video Game themes. "Retro" has basically become it's own genre because the style itself is that noticeable and iconic. Retro Video Game Themes have always struck a chord with me (no pun intended). Part of it is definitely from the nostalgia factor, but it's hard to deny these songs had a ton of love and talent put into them. A lot of them tend to transcend the era they were born in with remixes, remakes, etc. Retro Video Game Themes not only make me fond of the games from my childhood, it also brings back memories of those close to me. Growing up playing games with my dad is a super early memory I'd like to never forget. It's thanks to all these experiences that I even have this career. That's why I bought this new program and decided to test it out with all of you! Anyways, this is "Attempting to Make a Retro Video Game Theme in One Night". I hope you enjoy!
