Pool, Billiards, Snooker, Carom…whatever you call them, video games have a long history involving the most laid back of all sports, Cue Ball Based Sports. But what about their music? Today on XVGM Radio, Mike and Justin highlight some wild ranges of VGM in cue ball videogames. From discussions on eating crackers in hell,a shout out to Fresh Prince “Break out Lucille” reference, and of course…lots of “ball” jokes, this episode will have you re-racking after you finish the first time!
