Want to refresh your memory of video game music and see some heavy metal shredding at the same time? This is your chance: YouTube user FamilyJules7X recorded a medley with metal versions of 38 classic video game tunes.

The 17-minute video covers some of the earliest video games, including Pong, Space Invaders, Frogger and Tetris, as well as recent tiles such as Fallout 3, Skyrim and Last of Us.

It took FamilyJules7X, which regularly publishes heavy metal game music covers on his YouTube channel, a week and a half to arrange, mix, master and edit this glorious video. He plays all the instruments, including rhythm, lead and bass guitar, and drum programming is also his handiwork. Most impressively, he's been practicing these songs for the last three years, making this a truly epic project.

You can find the full list of the tunes covered in the video's description.
