I'm going to start a fun little column with this one. For some reason, over the years, my mind has acted as a sort of a Roledex for great videogame ditties. Every Wednesday, I will be posting fifteen well-known and not-so-well-known videogame songs. 

There's a catch however. I will be providing ten of the songs. The rest will be suggested - hopefully songs I've never heard. Out of all of the suggestions, I will choose five to round out the fifteen. If I get enough suggestions, I might even shift the proportion to 5 and 10.

All submissions will be credited to the community members who provided them. The only guidelines are that any song chosen must be original to the game. For instance, though I loved them before Fallout, The Inkspots' Maybe or I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire would both be excluded. Similarly, of course, all Rock Band and Guitar Hero songs are off limits. Parappa the Rapper, Rythem Heaven, and Gitaroo Man, however, are all fair game.

Also, to note, I will try to find the original names of every song, but if I can't I will give it a name, and mark it with an asterik. In addition, all songs are set to open in a new tab, so feel free to click away and have them play in the background as you surf Bitmob or get some work done. Songs appear in no particular order save that community submissions will be segmented from my choices.

Most importantly, since I hope to keep doing this for awhile, only one submission response per person per post. That way I'll have less to parse, and you guys will be able to submit for an extended period of time. If you sumbit multiple requests, I will not listen to any of them.

Again, only one submission response per person per post.

Onto the show.
