feeling a little nostalgic

So I was speaking with a friend of mine and we started to talk about retro games such as the original sonic games, tetris, space invaders.....and we mentioned how all the sounds in the games are iconic such as the sounds for mario and sonic's jump and the ring and coin sounds for mario and sonic.

 another thing that cropped up was Final Fantasy and some of the most memorable music from the series such as Arith's theme and Sephiroth's theme from FF7, Eyes on me from FF 8 and To Zanakand from FF 10. there are theme's from the games that are also Iconic to the series such as the Chocobo theme, the Victory theme and the Final Fantasy Prelude.

Something that i've been thinking about...is haw games change now days.....sure graphics improve but for example.....the lates final fantasy games.......the graphics are amazing.....however for the music and sounds to me....arn't that memorable to me at all......there's no prelude...and the classic victory theme was scrapped. Personally I feel theres no song's that are actually memeorable to me, The same could be said about the latest Sonic games....however Sonic does still keep his classic jumo sound from what I remember.

Ah well this is just things I have on my mind that might help with my essay and I thought I would get them down before I forget.

Thank you for reading!!!!!

I need to update more often

Things have been crazy recently since I just got back from Japan and then I had to move all my stuff to my Uni house and i've been suffering from jet lag pretty badly. Anyway theres not much I can really say atm however I remember when I was first telling the idea of my essay to the tutor....and we ended up discussing about  old retro games such as Space invaders and how one of the first things that come to mind are the sounds and the theme...well...the music.

Yesterday I was talking with my brother and we ended up talking about how the main theme of Tetris is also iconic....later on in the day I was talking with one of my house mates and I asked her if she knew the Mario theme. She replied to me she didn't, however after I hummed a little to her she remembered it almost instantly.

Often there are times when me and one of my house mates are playing a game and then one of the songs we both like come it we instantly start to sing along with it.

I guess i'll get to the point. There are often games that have music the can sometimes be even more iconic then a character or maybe even some cases the game itself, There are also times that a song/theme from a game can bring people together. Then again it could just be my own idle speculation.

THanks for reading!
