    SOUND FOR VIDEO GAMES

    Psychology of Sound
    Name a game where the sound really stood out for you. Make a list of why you
    remember it.
    Pokemon red&blue
    This really stood out for me because of how upbeat and optimistic the route
    one theme sounded as well as how it fitted the idea of being a 10 year old kid
    setting off on an adventure perfectly, which contrasted with the eerie and
    disturbing theme for lavender town.
