Hello, I'm Dean Tersigni, the founder of the '''''Videogame Music Preservation Foundation''''' and avid listener of videogame music. I've recorded over 250 game soundtracks for this site. My first gaming system was an [[Atari 2600]], but the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] was where I earned my street cred. My favorite home console is the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]]. I never played much on the [[Genesis]], but I am big into the [[DOS]] scene. I own a couple of fifth and sixth generations consoles like the [[Nintendo 64|N64]], [[PlayStation|PS1]], and [[Game Cube]], but I never played them much when they were popular. I haven't played much of anything in the home console market since then. I've been a big [[DOS]] gamer since 1990, and slowly migrated to [[Windows]] games as it began to the dominate platform. I also have several hundred Steam games under my belt.

My avatar is Salamando from Secret of Mana (SNES).

Hello, I'm Dean Tersigni, the founder of the Video Game Music Preservation Foundation and avid listener of video game music. I've recorded over 280 game soundtracks for this site. My first gaming system was an Atari 2600, but the NES was where I earned my street cred. My favorite home console is the SNES. I never played much on the Genesis, but I am big into the DOS scene. I own a couple of fifth and sixth generations consoles like the N64, PS1, and Game Cube, but I never played them much when they were popular. I haven't played much of anything in the home console market since then. I've been a big DOS gamer since 1990, and slowly migrated to Windows games as it began to the dominate platform. I also have several hundred Steam games under my belt.

Contributions

The following are games that I have contributed to this Wiki, either by ripping their audio files, or by recording their soundtrack. Obviously, I have helped maintain many other pages, but these are the ones where I have directly helped procure the audio.

Rips I've Made

Recordings I've Made (A-F)

Recordings I've Made (G-R)

Recordings I've Made (S-Z)

* Needs song pages.
† Needs album art.
‡ Needs updated song pages.

Programs I've Written

The following are computer programs I've written to aid other editors in the creation, recording, and maintenance of files for the VGMPF. If you can think of a specific program that may be useful to you for helping the site, please let me know and I might be able to create it.

Favorite Soundtracks

Games listed below have soundtracks that I admire as a whole because the entire soundtrack works together to increase the overall quality of the game by establishing mood and increasing the enjoyment of game play.

Favorite Songs
