oh how my heart sank when that little pixelated frog flattened into an X simply trying to cross the street. the tone of his demise was terrible. SPLAT! then there was the noise made by the awful green coily monster when he'd appear and jump in mad chase from one cube to another on the psychedelic pyramid to annihilate poor lil q-bert.
those were the sounds of video games from my childhood - sounds that have been permanently pressed in the grooves of my memory...
a rap duo from north carolina called litle brother made this tribute to the atari 2600 console. funny though - the song has not even one video game sound in it. no. it's a soulful old school ballad - complete with string arrangements and swooning backing vocals. what nostalgia: "a-tar-i don't go!"
click the console and take a listen... and oh yeah. advisory: explicit lyrics!
little brother - atari 2600:
ok - and for those of you who are now itching to play.
