The UK Parliament held one of the most eloquent debates ever about video games on November 3rd. Not about violence, but about preservation, ownership, and culture.
It’s a pleasure to hear lawmakers speak about games as art worth saving.

One of the earliest game soundtracks ever, Ultima III: Exodus by @richardgarriott.bsky.social is a cornerstone of retro gaming history. This beautiful high-quality recreation by
@hqremakes.bsky.social perfectly captures the timeless spirit of Kenneth W. Arnold’s original compositions.

A dreamy blend of Irish folk and Celtic atmosphere. From one of the most beautiful video game soundtracks of the 2000s: the music of Braid by Jami Sieber, Shira Kammen, and Cheryl Ann Fulton.

I’ve gathered some of the most beautiful nature-infused video game soundtracks, from the forests of Baldur’s Gate to the mysteries of Secret of Evermore. Perfect for relaxing and wandering in your imagination.

In this video, I experimented with expanding the original in-game artwork while keeping its authentic style. The untouched versions appear at 46:24 (original resolution: 103×128).
The music, composed by Michiel van den Bos, is one of my all-time favorite fantasy soundtracks.

I thought it was a nice touch that the 2016 reboot reused the planet colonization theme melody from the first game. Sadly, the game was too buggy on my end. Laura Barratt’s soundtrack for MOO2 added something truly special that tied the whole experience together in a way that’s very hard to surpass.

I love the galactic themes of Master of Orion II so much that I dedicated an extended video to its soundtrack.

Master of Orion (1993) laid the foundation for one of the greatest 4X strategy franchises of the early PC gaming era.
The game ran in classic VGA 256-color mode at a native resolution of 320×200.

Master of Orion 2 (1996) will forever be one of my top favorite 4x games. I loved everything about it and especially the incredible soundtrack by Laura Barratt. I’ve been experimenting with upscaling the old Smacker video files.
Original resolutions: 480x160 and 288x208
Over the past few years, I’ve commissioned over 100 high-quality remakes of classic game music. This was #9. 🎶🧙♂️

Epic game with a fantastic soundtrack by Steve Baca, Rob King, Paul Romero, and Jennifer Wang.
I loved how powerful you felt later on with the high-level mage spells. Especially flying above your enemies and calling down meteor showers from the sky.
Ask not how long your game will serve you - ask what must be done to preserve it. 🕹️🛡️
