Over the course of 2020, Sega celebrated its 60th anniversary in style, with plenty of merch and even a teeny tiny Game Gear. Now, to potentially close things out, the company is releasing a celebratory album that covers video game sounds from across the decades.
I say “sounds” generally because the first two games covered will be nothing but bleeps and bloops from the company’s earliest games, like 1979’s Head On. After that it’s a pretty varied mix. There are iconic vocal tunes like Burning Rangers’ theme and Open Your Heart from Sonic Adventure, but there are also interesting pulls. Rather than representing Sonic the Hedgehog’s first game with Green Hill Zone as you’d expect, they instead elected to go with Starlight Zone.
Check out the full four disc playlist below, courtesy of the GO SEGA – 60th Anniversary Album store page on PlayAsia.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
