From chip tunes and beyond!

So join Tuong and 8-bit heroes Angus MacDonald, Samantha Leggatt, and Leslie Cserepy as they activate their cheat codes and celebrate Top 5 Video Game Theme Songs.

Ground Rules
- Songs have to come from video games (duh)
- The “main theme” of a video game doesn’t always have to be it’s title screen song. It has to be the song that is the “main thread” or “through line” that invokes the game.
