bookmarked this to listen to it when i had time, it did not disappoint
Harumi Fujita might low-key be my favorite game music composer
i actually put this exact tune on one of my esoteric game music mixes
also here’s an alt link since that account seems to be down now:
oh wow really? i didn’t recognise this track at all and wondered if u knew about it.
i am excessively fond of the sims 1 soundtrack
(its mall rat.mp3)
the sims 1 soundtrack is a god damned masterpiece of video game music. unusual, functional, and reinforces the tongue-in-cheek nature of the game. the split between the Build Mode music and the Buy Mode music is integral to understanding how differently that game treats both modes, i.e. building is a serious business worth consideration, and buying is primarily an exercise in meaningless consumerism. the fact that the sims 2 has the same music for both modes is a sign of the game already being commodified and flattened and corporatized.
obviously i have thought about this a lot
has The Sims been…good?..this whole time?
maybe its just the nostalgia talking but most of the tracks composed by marc russo and jerry martin in TS1 are incredibly memorable, the later games branch out into weird licensed simlish versions of songs and overall have a much blander tone. I don’t think any of the composed tracks in the later games are exceptionally bad but they’re certainly not songs i want to come back to.
100%. The Sims rules forever.
how have i never heard this obscure tekken tag 2 (wii u version only) song before
chocolate and ice cream
i don’t think i even knew the sims had music
this is deathtemple in hell your gonna die bich
