I’ve put together a list of 60 tunes that have stuck with me through the years, inspired by Jeffrey Canam (@GrahfMetal)’s Twitter rundown of his top 100 favourite video game tracks. I’ve attempted to limit myself to a couple songs per game, but there are exceptions.

I’ll post them here and on Twitter every Tuesday and Thursday using the hashtag #KongsTdayTunes.

I got into the Dynasty Warriors games via Koei’s somewhat heavier Romance of the Three Kingdoms strategy series, and this track contains a nice thematic throwback to Yoko Kanno’s original main theme for those games, making the title particularly apt for me. It successfully invoked nostalgia then, and it continues to do so today.

I sing this song to my dog.

Track: “Memories” (YouTube Link)
Game: Dynasty Warriors 5 (PS2, 2005)
