Importance: Interesting
- Video games didn't always have music
- Ex: 1970s Pong
- Music implemented to set mood
- Ex: Space Invaders- "Music" grew faster as aliens got closer
- Limited by hardware initially
- Implementation of CD-ROMs for video game medium caused video game music to resemble real music
This article was interesting in relation to the topic I'm researching, though it's not entirely essential. The article provides only a small amount of information, and doesn't really give a good idea of the evolution of video game music by itself. Overall, this article provided some information, but not enough to give me a good idea of my topic. It's a good start, but it leaves many open areas that need further exploring, such as what kinds of limitations the hardware in gaming systens had.
