There’s still about six days left to pick up your Retro Game Music Bundle, which has just added three additional soundtracks to its already robust lineup. If the prospect of “adding to” a lineup that already consists of Duke Nukem 3D, Jazz Jackrabbit 1 and 2, Myst, Stargunner and 7th Guest doesn’t pique your interests, then there may be no pleasing you.
We’ve covered these Game Music Bundles before, so by now everyone should sort of know how they work. Basically, $1 gets you a bunch of soundtracks. $10 or more gets you even more soundtracks. What makes the Retro Game Music Bundle special is that not only does it feature some never-before-released game soundtracks, but the GMB team went to great lengths to put it together.
The story on how the Retro Game Music Bundle was conceived and put together can be read here at GMB Blog. It’s quite an amazing story done by fans of game music, for fans of game music.
As usual with past Game Music Bundles, there is a healthy smattering of indie game soundtracks, and this bundle is no different. Often inspired by the retro games of yore, these indie game soundtracks fit right in with the never-before-released soundtracks in this bundle.
