[game_preservation] Identifying game makers based on style

[Devin Monnens]

Here is a discussion I stumbled upon in VGMdb. VGMdb attempts to catalogue
every game music album released. They are the largest database in English on
this subject. This thread (might seem a little otaku) is analyzing the
musical styles of Mega Man X to help determine who composed what (the liner
notes do not marry composer with song). Post 8 has the most detail of this
method. It is interesting that the experts of this field are dedicated
audiences rather than say scholars or journalists. They are perhaps a kind
of curator without attaining an official role. I have considered a similar
method for identifying the artists behind early arcade games.
