A very weird one that isn’t that great of a soundtrack or game but it’s close to my heart and as far as I know does something now very common back in the C64 days: Lazy Jones.

The basic idea is that this guy wanders from room to room playing various mini games represented as other in world video games but what I’ve always admired about it is that it does this with dynamic music where different music will begin playing seamlessly from the main theme when you start a mini game and then transition seamlessly back into the main theme.

Likewise the iMuse system from Monkey Island is the first and biggest example of dynamic music that early and it’s a pretty nice composition too.

Jet Set Radio Future helped shape my music tastes for my entire life and that shit was a double pack with some racing game I never remember the name of for the original Xbox, and I never even owned the damn game I just played it at a friend’s house often enough!

  • the Rise of the Triad (1994) soundtrack by Lee Jackson for the best use of MIDI music I have ever heard in any game
  • the Quake (1996) soundtrack by Trent Reznor for a really cool brooding soundscape that wasn’t matched by any other id Software games
  • the Portal 2 (2011) soundtrack by Mike Morasky is gloriously emotive and very fun. it’s also huge!
  • the Half-Life: Alyx (2020) soundtrack by Mike Morasky is also great.
