Video: How music was made on a Super Nintendo

The Nerdwriter has made an excellent video about how video game composers wrote surprisingly complex music for a game system with very little memory or capacity for playing music.

I recently discovered The Nerdwriter's youtube page and have been slowly going back through his thoughtful videos.  He's got some videos on films and art like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Why it's the Best, Pan's Labyrinthe and Disobedient Fairy Tales, Neil Gaiman's Sandman: What Dreams Cost, and  Inside Out: Emotional Theory Comes Alive, he's also got videos on science and social science topics (the only one of which I've seen so far is How Donald Trump Answers a Question, which is good - and kind of scary).
