Your Favorite Albums to Play Atari to

[hizzy]

Hi,

 

I often mute the TV while playing games and put on an album. Am I alone in this? Also, I have albums that I will play with specific games.

 

 

I find Maiden Voyage goes well with Pacman:

 

 

 

A Love Supreme is also a great Pacman game and goes well with Adventure:

 

 

 

Steely Dan's Aja goes well with everything:

 

 

 

I'll also go for Cat Stevens when playing my 2600. Mona Bone Jakon is a good album.

70's funky James Brown is great with Asteroids:

I used to do that in the 16-bit days. Most of those games had terrible music that just looped over and over and over. Also, I was in high school and pretty much always had music playing anyway. I never went so far as to pair specific albums with games though.

Enduro & the Hair soundtrack, side 2.

Some of the albums I choose have to do with high scores. I KILLED Pacman 8k while playing A Love Supreme.

Love John Coltrane! Never paired him with video games, though.

Anything from the 80's. New wave or prog rock!

When younger, I always listened to music while playing games. Devo, Steely Dan, Moody Blues, The Police, Talking Heads, The Cars... 70's and 80's music in general, but these days I prefer to just hear the game.
