A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.

I have almost zero knowledge of the Visual Novel genre, but I found out about this game after hunting for more awesome Ryu Umemoto music, an FM-synth master. It turns out YU-NO on PC-98 is a pioneer in the genre and influenced most VNs (including Steins;Gate anf Fate/stay night) and even anime/manga in general, being responsible for a lot of tropes we now commonly see. Even if this is not my kind of genre, reading this game's Legacy section on its Wikipedia page was very interesting. They actually released a remake on Switch/PS4/Steam last year.

I just learned about it after watching Chaz Aria's stream yesterday. Check out "Touch" from the same game 👌

Umemoto was a great talent and apparently very likeable guy. Great read on him: http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2010/11/dragons-journey-ryu-umemoto-in-europe.html

YU-NO has a bunch of great tracks. My favorite OST from Umemoto

Wow, this sure is beautiful! The name got me interested, along with the song. I might end up getting this on Steam!

Is that the game's title or the first line of dialogue in the game?

YU-NO has one of my favorite OSTs. PC-98/X68K in general have an endless amount of phenomenal soundtracks. Rhyme Star comes to mind, which was actually composed by the composer of Steins;Gate.

Didn't expect to see YU-NO on here at all. The OST has alot of wonderful tracks. Great to see it on the channel 👌
