Now that the dumpster fire that is 2020 is coming to and end, Its time to look forward to the many new challenges and experiences that are in store for us, and with that It’s that time again here at the Retro VGM Revival hour, where you, the fellow listener, have entered another BONUS STAGE.
So let us take a little break from the action and distract ourselves with something to reward your progress thus far.
These video game tracks are a selection of random video game compositions that I have chosen as a reward for showing much love and respect to those have been with this podcast since its inception…but this time, It’s a little bit different.This special version includes various shout-outs to various friends that I’ve reached out to for suggestions of their top 3-4 tracks from their favorite games. They will be placed in-between the other random tracks already selected in order to say “Thank You” for them allowing me to be part of their lives.
Yeah, 2020 has been difficult with Covid taking peoples’ lives, jobs and just overall making this year very difficult to get by, but it was because of the family I have and the friends that i keep in my company that have resulted in me never losing hope.
Helping me, always supportive and encouraging……for for that, I wanted to do something to honor their friendship and thank them for everything they do.
