The Bad Game Music Hall of Fame

Please rise for our National Anthem, in this inaugural entry of the Bad Game Music Hall of Fame.

I’m gonna try to upload new videos to this YouTube channel every few days, spotlighting some of the worst of video game music. Some songs simply fail to utilize the full potential of their console sound chip (1942), while others are guilty of perhaps being overly ambitious (Double Dribble). Some video game music is literally just random notes strung together (Taz-Mania). No matter the circumstance, I’m gonna try to build a bit of a collection here, gathering the best of the worst together on a single channel. And when I’m able, I’ll even try to give a bit of insight into why these songs sound the way they do!

1. 1942 (NES) – “Flying”
2. The Adventures of Rad Gravity (NES) – “[Title Screen]”
3. Double Dribble (ARC) – “National Anthem”
