\n\nIn the spirit of this week\u2019s Electronic Entertainment Expo, this episode of GeekDad HipTrax is all about video game music. From classic NES/SNES soundtrack reinterpretations to original music from a brand new retro-style shooter, we\u2019ve got you covered!

\n\nSomehow, amid producing a third of Beefy\u2019s latest LP With Sprinkles and crafting his own Vision Quest EP, Mustin also found time to pull together another amazing release from The OneUps.
