STAGE 26: Halloween 2
It’s Halloween season and for me Horror-themed games are fun to play all year round. However, only a select few are best played during Halloween. As a result, horror based games provide not only chills, but bring great memories that amplify the enjoyment of this particular day even more-so.
Traditionally, Halloween festivities include trick-or-treating, Horror movie marathons, and costume parties, but when it comes to The retro VGM Revival Hour, This year, like every year, Its about getting yourself ready to get you in the mood to celebrate this holiday the only way I know how: Video Game Music.

STAGE 23: Opening/Title Themes
Opening and Title screen themes set the mood for the entire game. they’re in charge of giving a player the ever important first impression. Often overlooked, these particular themes are usually an afterthought once the “press start” option becomes available, But if you choose to not press that button, you will realize that the these themes are one of the most important key elements in making an amazing gaming experience. This is why this special STAGE of the retro VGM revival hour is dedicated to those great Opening and Title screen themes. So put that controller down and be amazed on how awesome these themes can be.
