"“Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater” dropped on Sept. 29, 1999, becoming an instant hit that not only introduced skateboarding to an audience of millions, but also exposed a new generation to punk music through the game’s now-iconic soundtrack."

Yeah, the recent remake is fantastic! I'm loving the Marvel VS Capcom bundle too (haven't tried multiplayer though).

Wish all of the remasters/remakes were done so well.

This must have been a sweet spot in history when licensing music fees for video games were not as expensive?

I wonder if a similar project could be done today now that everyone knows gaming is a huge industry.
