With topics ranging from early classics like \u003ci\u003eDonkey Kong\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSuper Mario Bros.\u003c\/i\u003e to more recent hits like \u003ci\u003ePlants vs. Zombies\u003c\/i\u003e, the eleven essays in \u003ci\u003eMusic in Video Games\u003c\/i\u003e draw on the scholarly fields of musicology and music theory, film theory, and game studies, to investigate the history, function, style, and conventions of video game music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eK.J.
