The M Disk Playlist Video Game Music Primer series normally explores ten game scores from each year starting with 1990. Scores that are iconic, forgotten, timeless, or innovative. The 80s had some scores that fit the aforementioned criteria, but it would have been difficult to highlight each score in that decade in the M Disk VGM Primer format. So I chose to highlight the best of the 80s in one special primer episode!

Also, forgot to mention this in the video itself, but the first piece of Gradius footage was from Seahawk0027.
