Ah, that feeling when you complete a game and get to enjoy the emotional catharsis of its ending music.  These tunes are often some of the most emotionally resonant in a soundtrack, and there are so many great ones out there that a single Legacy Music Hour focus just wasn't gonna cut it.  Get ready to feel those triumphant and/or bittersweet feelings all over again again with this

The boizz took us on another company tour for Episode 84, and what a tour it was.  We already knew Capcom as the home of Mega Man, but what about their other titles like Section-Z?  Knights of the Round?  Capcom Quiz: Hatena? no Daibouken?  The Legacy Music Hour made sure they all got their time to shine on this setlist, right alongside the Blue Bomber himself.

In Episode 209, the boizz talk a little bit about France, Mary Poppins, and Seinfeld’s possible copy of SimCity for the NES, but Brent really talks a lot about Creed II, that is, his own version of it.  The boizz also spent a lot of time understanding the Sonic influence in a 1989 PC Engine track (Sonic came out in 1991).  Full track listing below.

We probably didn't notice it as much when we were kids, but there was a whole lot of product placement going on in our video games.  Whether it was comparatively subtle background nods to Pizza Hut or entire titles dedicated to playing as Ronald McDonald, encouragement to nag our parents for stuff we didn't need was everywhere... and yet there was also a lot of great music, too.  So,

After eighty-one episodes, Brent and Rob decided to do their first focus on one individual game's soundtrack: Secret of Mana.  Although opinions were mixed as to whether the game itself was one of the greatest titles of all time or just a super effective sedative, the boizz have absolutely no disagreements over the quality of the music.  Get right into the thick of it and take a journey

To start the year off, Brent and Rob do another “ending music” focus, the last one having been done in 2012.  Brent’s brothers also join in on the action.  Plus, The Legacy Music Hour has a new sponsor, at least for the time being, Double Cobra Milling.  Full track listing below.

Free Play episodes are always special, but Episode 80 stands out among them due to an extra bit of historical significance: it appears to be the recording that birthed and solidified the now-canonical pronunciation of "boizz."  Can YOU remember the time before we were all saying that word this way?  Because I can't.

Recorded in September, Episode 206 was conducted live at the Bit Bar in Salem, Massachusetts, a town known for witches and Halloween related stuff.  And very organically, witches, Frankenstein, werewolves, clowns, and other monsters came up in conversation, not really because of being in Salem or October coming up the month after, but mostly related to talking about the music.  This

Hey, what's that buried at the bottom of your trick-or-treating pillowcase?  No, it's not a copy of Time Lord -- it's another Legacy Music Hour mixtape!  And while Halloween is all about celebrating the spiritual beyond, there's definitely something fitting about using the holiday to celebrate the musical beyond, too.  So, enjoy this collection of tracks from the spiritual realm

If you weren't already well acquainted with Sunsoft's signature sound, the Legacy Music Hour focus featuring Bucky's expert commentary was an education you'd never forget.  Put your hands together for that signature bass sample, those driving beats, the soaring melodies, and yes, the occasional call-and-response meow.  All in all, this mixtape might just be the moment you've all been

It’s that time of the year again.  Brent and Rob share their top ten tracks of the year (Episodes 193 through 204).  To refresh you with the rules, tracks chosen must be pieces of video game music they became aware of only within the last year and that were played on the show.  See if you can guess which tracks were chosen!  Partial track listing below.
