Episode notes
In the 1980s, video game music was limited by hardware constraints, with little memory available. This forced composers to keep the music simple and short, often repeating it to save memory space. To avoid annoyance, composers like Sharpeman disguised these repetitive loops by rearranging modular music chunks like LEGO blocks in different orders, creating the illusion of variety within the repetitive structure.
