The Mastery of Early Chiptune

US Charles Cornell on a phenominal NES Soundtrack      13/03/24

Following on from Paulees excellent articles on Chiptune, what better time to share this video - where Charles Cornell explores the phenomenal soundtrack to an unlikely candidate for a video game. Pictionary for the Nintendo NES system, was released in 1990 by Software Creations and published by LJN.

The outstanding use of limited musical resources is testament to the skills of the composer Tim Follin, an English video game music composer, cinematographer, visual effects artist and game developer. Suffice to say, he worked on an incredible amount of video games, and graced many with his musical talents.
