Here, have a free mixtape of JRPG music on us

You know what we like? Yes, videogames, but apart from those. No? Music, silly. Yes, we like music, and we especially like game music. You probably do too. Why does this matter right now? Well, we have a little gift for you.

If you didn’t back our Kickstarter to reinvent our print magazine then you wouldn’t have received the special mixtape that we gave out on December 4th. It’s called “Run 2 The End of the World, Vol 1” and it was put together by freelance film and TV composer Julian Wass for us. The whole mixtape is a love letter to classic SNES scores and features tracks from the composers of Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, and Xenosaga.

we love you

See, you should have backed our Kickstarter! But, don’t worry, we love you, and think you should also get to listen to this mixtape, so here you go—a full, free download of the entire 27-track mixtape.

Think of it as a little Christmas prezzie from us. (You can also click the image below to get the download.) The entire track list is below and, so you know, the last track is a bit of a bonus as it’s never been released before, too.
