Here's one of those little pieces of videogame history: Back in the days of arcades Konami had some games that were so big (by the standards of the time) they needed a special kind of memory-board that could store them. The thing was this bubble memory only worked in a certain temperature range. So what they did was give these arcade cabinets a second, smaller piece of memory that would boot first and give some basic information while the game literally warmed up for the day. Having just a countdown would have been boring, so of course they wrote a little ditty to go with it, and like those chiptunes you get on pirated software it is catchy as gently caress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEueYGq2mT4 And, inevitably: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIOF-MU5HXkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jguHUyKCRd4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAYBOHZ658Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzbrqF2EOxM

I've played the first three Fables and yeah they are unremarkable. Even Skyrim at least had a good theme they could hang it on, Fable has just general fantasy music.

I didn't bring up Touhou because that's kind of an all-encompassing topic that can consume a thread and we already have one in VEGETA that you can go to if you want to listen to more tracks. Saying that though Imperishable Night is one of my favourite OSTs ever. All Touhou music works a lot better when you encounter it within the game, since they are all about the combination of music and visuals that work better together. There are a poo poo-ton of Touhous at this point and almost every single one has one or two stand-out earworms but Imperishable Night is perfect. If you don't give a drat about shooters you can watch someone play it here and just watch the pretty patterns and listen to the tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8kju_IGD94
