It is time...
Hello! This is a series to spotlight games with good music within it, but I seldom hear discussed. The games themselves aren't necessarily good, interesting, or released, but the jams are hot despite this.
The tag is #HotJamsOfGaming, if you wish to follow/mute!
My goal is for folks spend just a couple minutes listening to the music here and possibly following up with the rest of the OST. With current internet culture: If I have to keep someone for more than 5 minutes, I've lost them. Especially when it comes to making someone watch or listen to something. :-)
This is a random one for me. I've known about this flash game's OST since 2016 or 2017, way before I played many classic Sonic games for the first time in late 2023. I play Sonic After The Sequel in 2022, during a "Good Music in Games I Haven't Played" stream theme, to... rough results. Turns out the lack of Flash support can only cover so much, but it seemed good at least!
Nonetheless, this is straight back-to-back bangers made by artists you may recognize in games today, such as Funk Fiction, Falk, and James Landino. There's a variety of genres and styles on display throughout the OST and it's an absolute adventure to listen to.
I find it fairly easy to turn this on and listen to the whole OST front-to-back with no skips, despite its length, maybe stopping at the remixes at the end at worst. If you take the time to listen to the OST, take an occasional look at the song titles. They had some fun. :-)
Fun Fact: It was hard to pull three different examples for the artists above. They also work a lot on the same games. Especially without delving into game(s) I may want to hit later.
