The definitive way to play retro game music on your phone

I’ve messed around with other video game music players on iOS before, and they’re fine but pretty lacking in the UI/UX front, they mostly feel like they never evolved beyond the earliest days of iOS development.

Legacy Music Player feels like a modern music app, and something I enjoy using. I love the curated lists too, sometimes you know you want to hear some crunchy chiptunes, but you can’t figure out what among the vast sea of possibilities. Being able to go to the discovery tab and see what the Chiki Chiki Boys are listening to, is a great way to jump in without wasting time.

Heck, it even had one of my all time favorite video game soundtracks that’s kind of obscure, Zeliard (Tandy version rules, but all three versions are good and on the app!).

WOW!

I have never been so excited about an app to come out like this. This is my favorite podcast and now I can listen to allllll the old episodes. Plus it is an easy, hassle free way to listen to some of my favorite composers and soundtracks. Everything is neatly organized and the lil tidbit bubble box that pops up with comments from the boys is such an awesome touch.
Gabe, Rob and Brent… EXCELLENT JOB! Thank you so much for this!

Can’t wait to listen to the brain lord ost.
