YouTube users Triforce Films created an exhaustive 16-minute history of video game music, beginning with Pac-Man in 1980 and ending with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune in 2007. A cappella isn't for everyone, or at least I believed as much until Pitch Perfect became one of the great sick day movies of all time, with its lovable characters and sugar-sweet soundtrack. Oh, and its countless GIFable moments. Like Pitch Perfect, there's something both charming and impressive about this level of aca-skill.
All of the songs are enjoyable, though I have a fondness for the Sonic theme. Here are the time codes, according to the video's description:
