Winter VGM: Grand Finale

Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast

I know I said in the previous episode that there would not be another Singing Mountain winter VGM episode. I lied. This episode — a two-hour, ”all music, no talk” collection of 16-bit winter VGM — originally went live December 21, 2020 on the Singing Mountain Patreon. It has not been available since I took down the Patreon page, but now it’s posted for the public to enjoy.

Now *this* is the finale installment of the winter VGM series.

As a thank you for everyone who has continued to support Singing Mountain in 2020, despite its lengthy hiatus, here is a special holiday gift: a two-hour "all music, no talk" megamix of every 16-bit example of winter VGM that I've ever played on the show.
