I have a confession to make. I collect computer game music.
Yes, it's true. I have a little over 100 different folders, containing every thing from complete soundtracks to single track treasures. The music takes up about 4 and a quarter gigabytes of hard drive space and is comprised of a variety of stylistically different computer games. However, the bulk of my collection, consists of old Sierra (Sierra On-Line) adventure games.
I am currently organizing each collection, meticulously citing my sources as I make adjustments.
This process seems to never end.
There are titles to verify, track numbers (if ever the music had an order), album titles (if there ever was such a thing; many times, no official soundtrack was ever produced, but rather its form is dictated by the essence of the original game), and of course album art (or in many cases, the picture on the box that the game was sold in).
However, I am nearing the end of my archiving.
