The time period between around 1980 and 1990 is unique in the history of computer game music.

Before 1980 computers were mostly only capable of making a “Beep”

After 1990 advances in storage meant it was possible to store complete digital soundtracks.

This window between 1980-1990 is the time when computers started getting dedicated audio hardware and programmers began experimenting to see how far they could push it.

This was the soundtrack to my childhood.
