"Movements" became the theme of Episode 220 and there are a lot of different types of movements showcased here. Sometimes a track has that "get up and get moving" energy like "Rainy City Night (Street Race 11)" from Kat's Run: Zen Nihon K Car Senshuken, which is great for a race or just cruising down the road. "Title Theme" from J.R.R. Tolkien's Th…

It's a classic free play episode, which means a nice variety of classic third and fourth gen tracks. There are even a couple "modern" tracks in this playlist from Battle Kid and Micro Mages -modern releases that run on original NES hardware, so they were technically LMH legal at the time, but then later determined not legal at one point in the futu…

Episode 218 was the third focus on Puzzle Games, and features some real bangers. "Warrior's Relaxation" from Shi Kin Jou is a totally 80's track reminiscent of groups like Erasure.

It's time once again to explore outside the world of third and fourth generation video game music to a land beyond 16-bit. You might think that some of these tracks were actually from the third or fourth generation, with how well some modern composers have been able to re-create that style. A prime example of that would be the fantastic Shovel Knig…

The boizz celebrated the start of a new year with a focus on ending music. This is the third focus of its kind, and as you'll hear, there's no shortage of supply for great ending tracks, tracks that really shape the mood and tone of the conclusion of a game and this case, a whole range of expressions. There's a great bluesy track from Darkwing Duck…

Not to be confused with "Flying and Shooting," the topic of this episode is Shooters. So not just shoot-them-up games, but any game with some sort of shooting.

If you thought the boizz were out of TurboGrafx-16 tracks, think again.

If you went to the arcade in the 80's or 90's, you heard some pretty great video game music from the arcade machines.

Some technical difficulties on this episode. Brent's microphone was crackling and stuff, but the music tracks were all replaced in post, so at least those sound clean.
