What’s the one thing that Malcolm X, Adam West’s Batman, and a common work printer all have in common? You can hear all of them in various Sonic the Hedgehog songs — and I can prove it.
This video is an in-depth exploration of music sampling in video games, covering its long history, showcasing the sheer range of samples used in gaming, and the unique origins behind some of the most iconic samples heard in video game music. Even if you think you know all there is to know about sampling in gaming, there might still be a few surprises in store for you here...
A good pair of headphones is highly recommended for this video!
