Rarely a day goes by where I don&rsquo;t have some game tune stuck in my head (Mario and Mariokart being the worst offenders). I find a lot of game music is great to work / code to, as it&rsquo;s generally upbeat and devoid of lyrics. I thought it&rsquo;d be fun to put together a short list of my favourite albums and share it here. I’ve put in download / purchase links where possible. For those without a link, you should be able to find them easily enough with a quick google.</p>I love videogame music.
