I’ve listened to a fair bit of video game music in my time. I’ve got a significant collection and I guess hunting around for the old gems is a bit of a hobby I have. One of my favourite elements in game soundtracks are town, tavern, inn, celebration music. I decided to put together a compilation playlist but ended up with two; for legality’s sake I decided to put together a list of tracks you can access via YouTube rather than upload my own set here… as a result the list is only what I could find there. So, what follows are ten tracks of peaceful, happy music that all the villagers are listening to!
