Hey guys, I'm writing my 12-page Music History paper on the evolution of video game music, and I need some sources!
Does anyone know of any books or journal articles haveing anything to do with game music? Or even electronic music in general.
Also, I'll try searching for myself later, but if you want to save me some time, you could link me to those interviews with game composers that were posted awhile ago!
I'm doing a paper on VG music

not sure if this helps but maybe the recent metroid metal in nintendo power could count as a "real" source.
i don't know - it's been awhile since i've had to write a real paper.

I'd be interested in seeing this paper and research materials when you're done....
If that's you know... possible.

Yeah totally. I'll be done by December 9th, and it will probably suck. I already have a crapload of links though, I'll post em when I type them up.
I might pick up that NP issue. I probably wouldn't even directly use it as a source, but maybe it would look good to have a magazine in my works cited.

you might want to explore documents on the TI 99/4A, the Atari 2600, the Commodore64, Tandy, and Amiga machines and how they progressed the evolution of music in computer entertainment.

Don't forget to mention the stunning failure that was Video Games Live.

I think that the only way you're going to nail a 10 (or 11) girl is if you have millions of dollars, a non maniac mansion, a bichon frise with a bow on it's head, a yacht, and multiple fast cars! i'm so sorry :/

Found a book for you to reference : "The Ultimate History Of Videogames"
http://www.amazon.co...193629?v=glance
See if it's at your university library or your local library.
http://news.teamxbox...o-Games-Museum/
Video Game History Museums are probably good to check out, too.
Good Luck dude!

Yeah I was just gonna mention, I need to educate myself on a general history of video games. I know AMiga and C64 were super important, but does anyone know where I could look up the history of these things?
The guys at OCR helped me out a ton, here's the thread in case any of you are interested in some good articles http://www.ocremix.o...t=69755&start=0

Alright The Shizz, this isn't really about VG music but it looks like a good enough thread as any to pose this question. This comes from a friend of mine who's currently teaching in the BVI (jerk):
"One of my Grade 10 students is doing a Personal Project (the big independent project they complete at the end of their 'Middle Years Program'.
This one kid is doing a project about Video Games. He is holding a 'Gaming Information Night.' His goal is to showcase different games throughout history and look at their progression and importance. He is looking for valid sources about video games. Do you know of any websites/magazines/books about games that would have information about contemporary video games or older games?
All I know is that I pretty much stopped my 'gaming' after Donkey Kong came out..... how embarrassing."
I'd really like to have some good answers for her but I really don't. There are one million and three sites that review current games and just as many "10 best games evar" lists on the web, but are there really any good websites or books with a comprehensive history of video gaming? If anybody knows of anything I'd really appreciate the help.
