I grew up playing Road Runner, created in 1992, for the Super Nintendo. The game immediately popped into my head as we were discussing music and sounds in class on Tuesday. The music and sounds of Road Runner will forever be ingrained in my head. They are extremely annoying and yet, they fit perfectly with the game (which I guess suggests that the game itself is annoying – and it is most definitely one of the most annoying games I have ever played.) The main reason I am posting this link of a part of the game is to show how important the music/sounds are to a game. Imagine this game without these sounds. It would be so dull. Video games wouldn’t be the same without sound effects and the background soundtrack that almost always accompanies them.
