Dear patrons, I'm sorry to say that my final NES Works video post of the year is deeply unexciting. But mundane games are a part of video game history, too. (Actually, they probably comprise the bulk of it.)

I visited the Suikoden 30th anniversary exhibit at Gallery AoMO! The concept is a museum set in the world of Suikoden, featuring “real” items from the game. There’s also art, dev documents, and merch as well.

Here's a fresh piece from me! Steam's a surprisingly great place to get game music, hosting everything from generous freebies to albums unavailable anywhere else!

Steam has quietly become the best place to buy videogame soundtracks—even for games that were never released on PC
5 games I played this year made me rush out and buy their soundtracks, and each was rewarding to own in a different way.
