For many of us, it’s hard to think of almost any videogame without our minds conjuring up the music that accompanied it. Over the decades they’ve evolved from simplistic monaural beeps and bloops to full orchestral scores recorded in 7.1 surround, but from their earliest days right up to today, soundtracks have played an integral part of our memories of the games we played, and the times in our lives when we were playing them. What we aim to bring you with Sound of Play is a diverse sample of our favourites pieces from the many air-punching, spine-tingling, tear-jerking and grin-inducing videogame soundtracks we’ve heard over the years.

Sound of Play: 268 – the videogame music podcast
This week, Ryan settles in with some community requests as well as a thorough and in-depth listen of Super Mario Odyssey's iconic theme song.
Community submissions come from Richard and DomsBeard.
Every Wednesday in Sound of Play, we bring you some of our favourite pieces from the many videogame soundtracks we’ve enjoyed over the decades. So venture over to our forum at caneandrinse.com and put forward your own suggestions so that we might include them in future shows.
