Hosted by Polygon: The Evolution of PC Games

This clip has already made the rounds last week, but it’s so awe­some I can’t NOT share it:

From the ear­li­est text-based adven­tures to the lat­est mod­ern shoot­ers, Reverse Engin­ears has cre­ated a stun­ning musi­cal com­po­si­tion fea­tur­ing only sounds and music from PC games.

Hosted by Poly­gon, an absolutely extra­or­di­nary video man­ages to por­tray a (very US-centric) his­tory of PC gam­ing, in a really stu­pen­dous way. Metic­u­lously edited together, Reverse Engin­ears (you may know them from their exquis­ite Alice remix) have cre­ated an elab­o­rate mashup, craft­ing its music entirely out of the clips of games it features.

Pretty cool, Reverse Engin­ears, but where is Phan­tas­mago­ria?

More stuff and things!
