I went looking for an alternative and found this, which has SpriteLayer and many other great options! If you like video game music, this is a gem! ### 5/5 — Great retro vg music app *2021-02-13, version 3.4* *Edit- This app does not play in the background for iOS. Please correct this. If not, it is no longer a radio app. Utility lost. First let me give credit to "aha" for being the first app to offer access to retro game music. But the bottom line is, this app is much better. It offers many more channels for retro game music than "aha" does, and it's lag free for the most part. If you love vg music, this app is hands down the best. ### 5/5 — The app that reads my mind *2020-10-04, version 3.4* This app has given me endless hours of listening pleasure over the years. Some of the stations are really niche, and I love them for it. The madnight radio station plays such an eclectic mix of tunes, it is almost a mirror of my own collection. This app can deliver high quality versions of every kind of chip tune from old 8 and 16-bit video games, to orchestral arrangements from later 32-64-bit consoles, to PC game music like Warcraft and Portal, to modern remakes of classic video game songs, to anime, to country music, Motown, pop and disco, death metal, hard rock, etc., etc. what’s not to like? ### 5/5 — video game radio *2020-08-07, version 3.3* this is a cool app ### 5/5 — This app rocks! *2020-07-16, version 3.3* I simply love this apps! ### 5/5 — Perfect! Just missing 1 thing... *2020-04-26, version 3.2* Love this app! I listen to it all the time. I just wish I had the ability to favorite stations. Aerith Radio, OCRemix Radio and SpriteLayer Classic Video Games Radio would definitely be saved as favorites! ### 5/5 — Great lil app! 👍🏻👍🏻 *2020-03-08, version 3.2* It’s really cool to have something for background music when you’re doing other things like studying, relaxing, sleeping, etc. I didn’t notice, but is there a station for classic NES music like the Sega one? ### 5/5 — Video Game Radio is my zone *2020-03-08, version 3.2* I use it exercise or de-stress while I’m food-prepping or while I’m studying. It’s better then music on the radio sometimes. I like it!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupidly horrible *2020-05-13, version 3.2* I can’t even search for the song I want to listen to ### 2/5 — Bug *2015-10-30, version 2.0* It has great music, but whenever I want to switch stations it switches whenever I touch the screen ### 2/5 — Nothing modern *2014-02-07, version 1.6* I want something modern like assassins creed mass effect that sort of thing ### 3/5 — good *2020-03-05, version 3.2* good ### 3/5 — Не работает *2019-02-28, version 3.0* Любимое радио не работает radio parallax исправьте пожалуйста ### 3/5 — It worked good *2016-01-22, version 2.0* It froze, crashed 😐.

It’s like being in the matrix without plugging yourself into it. When I was younger I used have music like this running in my head while I was sitting in school being bored. I have some of my old games and recorded the Bgm, I a cassette tape and relayed it on a cd recorder. It took a lot of time but it was worth it, never finished what I started but I know I can now, technology what will we think of next, if the end of the world ever comes I’ll have all my video game music reguardless whatever system it is, on back up, cd’s cassette and MP3 players, so thank your very much you’ve made my world shine a little brighter and my heart is fully filled like the legend of Zelda lol ### 4/5 — Forced to do this, so no 5 stars *2018-04-21, version 3.0* Just trying to find out what song was playing while I was trying to dose ... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The whole album *2026-03-31, version 26.0* High quality with a great variety of vidya game jams ### 5/5 — Wonderful music!
