    Video games changed so much during the 90s. I feel like this describes a single year.

      Soundtracks have always been fire though. I still have the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, Red Alert soundtrack, Sim City 3000, etc in my playlist.

          Nine in Nails did the music and sound fx for quake.

          I feel like it might have started the trend, but I’m not sure.

          Edit: also, I hadn’t thought about fear factory in decades. Time to get double bass drummed right back to high school!

    Donkey Kong Country had like. One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Game was really hard towards the end too. One of my fav games of all time.

    Doom could apply here too. ID was very much a small studio of dorks with a limited budget.
