If you know me, you might know that I famously adore shovelware music. And so, I have decided to give myself a possibly daunting task of listening to as many shovelware soundtracks as you can throw at me. (By as many, I mean 1 or possibly 2 per person depending on how daunting the task is...) Shovelware, according to how I feel at least, is a type of game that is made either for a licensed property, a trend or for a very specific audience, usually some child interest. I don't think all licensed games are shovelware, not out of quality but out of their principle of. being made, I guess? For example, I think Spider-Man 2 (PS2) is shovelware, due to the fact it was released to tie in with a movie, while Spider-Man 2 (PS5) is not, as it was released to just be a game representing Spider-Man as a property. This is a bit complex and might require some thought, but I will be pretty lenient with decisions so hopefully your picks should be okay. Sorry for how unclear this is lol. Main point: Shovelware is not just bad games, just usually a game that, for one reason or another, was made to get sales for a specific market - usually of kids, but not always. Some basic rules:
Standardised format would be nice but not necessary. To make it clear when you're giving me a game, for example, the Wii version of Chuck E Cheese's Party Games, do this + Chuck E Cheese's Party Games (Wii) and if you decide you no longer feel in the Party Games mood X Chuck E Cheese's Party Games (Wii) (i'm doing the X since gamefaqs seems to hate me every time i try to use a - ) Links to soundtracks would be helpful but I can sort them out myself if needed! Also, extra info always appreciated, such as platform and composer. Here's a banger or two for inspiration.
