Description
Welcome to RE-VGM, a video game podcast about music that has been re-arranged, re-orchestrated, and re-made by fans and artists. We play covers, orchestrations, remixes, etc, of video game music, across all platforms from consoles, to handhelds, to PC, and to mobile devices. Whether it's side-scrolling collectathon, an expansive RPG, or a frenetic schmup, someone made a cover or remix of it.
