CHECKPOINT! OST // A Racing Synthwave Experience

SONG LIST BELOW

Huge thanks to all those listening and those who waited patiently for a new playlist!

You we're digging around in your closet and found an old computer game titled “CheckPoint!”. The front cover shows a c4 corvette and says “HIGH OCTANE RACING” at the bottom of the cover, along with the developers copyright. On the back are several images displaying gameplay, info, features and reviews from critics. “The decade's brightest racer!”, “Hard to put down”, “Best soundtrack of ****” The year is scratched out from damage. Bored, you decide to put it in and play.

You select the campaign in the hardest difficulty and start your grand racing adventure.
