Chill Concept: Video Game Music

One of my favorite things to do when I'm chilling out or even (gasp) working is to listen to some classic video game music. If I'm chilling the music allows to just relax because the music is simple and upbeat. If I'm working the music keeps me entertained enough to work for hours, and the simpleness of it keeps me from getting distracted from my work. And one of the best parts is video game soundtracks are available for free almost anywhere on the web. Once again, its technically illegal to download these tracks, so download at your own risk. Of course, nobody really gives a damn about video game soundtracks, especially if it's from an older game. Here are some resources to get you started, happy jamming!

http://vgtunes.blogspot.com/ Rating: ***** This is a great go to site, it has music for almost any major game you could think of. Downloads are hosted at megaupload and mediafire.

http://www.google.com/  Rating **** Seriously just put in (nameofgame) + OST or soundtrack download, and you will probably find what your looking for.

http://ocremix.org/ Rating **** You won't find any actually soundtracks per se, but it is full of albums created by fans that recreate classic songs to sound like actual music. Great if your a legal prick or if you can't stand computer-ish sounding music.

http://www.emuparadise.org/ Rating ** A great site for anything semi-illegal relating to video games, but sketchy as hell. If you don't have a script blocker installed or don't know what a script blocker is, stay away.
