The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast

In the full episode, Rob told a story about taking a rare loss in Street Fighter II.  Don't worry though, because this mixtape is full of winners.  Starting right off the bat with the incredibly smooth Dean Evans track "Diving" from Waterworld.  You'll also get a dose of that iconic Konami sound from Wai Wai World 2: SOS!! Paseri Jou.  All that and more, on this week’s episode

Another year in the books, so you know what that means.  Time for another Best Of Year In Review episode.  This time the boizz went back to a full-length top ten list.  Do you have any guesses for which tracks they picked?  Will they have any overlapping picks?  You'll have to listen to find out, but one thing is certain, you're in for a mixtape full of the bonkest of

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.  But if you looked next to those arcade cabinets, you probably saw a different type of machine with flashing lights and flippers.  Of course, we're talking about pinball games!So for this special, one-time only episode, Brent and Rob focused on pinball machine music!&

Do you sense that?  It's a hot new mixtape incoming!  Some of the best VGM tracks can come from some surprising places.  For example, Autumn from Classic Road II (a little known, Japanese-exclusive horse racing game) is an incredible orchestral piece of music that would fit well on any of the most beloved Zelda soundtracks.  We all know you can find great music on the NES,

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.  Speaking of the tracks, there's some good ones -even possible top ten material to listen to here.  In fact, Brent, Rob, and Gabe had at least one top ten pick prediction for the end of the year even though the year

I'm not joking when I say this mixtape has the goods.  Treasure Castle from Socket features some really cool bells that ping pong back and forth in stereo.  Tatsuyuki Maeda shows off the strengths of the Genesis' FM synth with an awesome track from J.League Pro Striker 2 that features snappy drums and funky bass, especially in the intro.  Also, check out the full episode for a VGM

Music has the ability to motivate and move you, and this mix is guaranteed to put some spring in your step.  Main BGM 1 from Power League 5 has a phenomenal driving melody that can make even the sleepiest Chiki Chiki Boi get up and dance.  These tracks will make you feel like you could take on an entire planet full of aliens, ninjas and street thugs.Download and listen NOWMANATREE'S

You put your quarter on it, and now you've got next on this new mixtape!  Definitely listen for the chilling audio samples at the end of Nastar Warrior for a cool LMH legal arcade track.  If that's not chilling enough, you can also channel your inner Rob Van Winkle with Icebaby Planet from Uchuu Race: Astro Go! Go!  Even with all these cool moments, this still shapes up to be one

Brent and Rob share their top ten tracks they became aware of in roughly the last year.  Gabe shares his top five.  Only eight episodes to draw from this year, because last year's Best Of show was a month late which made this year have one less month than usual, and two of the episodes this year were Beyond episodes which are not eligible for Best Of consideration.  Will there by

Rob was back in action, leg mended and ready to jam out.  In fact, you can jam out right now to this fresh mixtape!  Lose Theme from Kiss Shot is an incredibly smooth, bluesy jam that may not be able to mend a broken leg, but it could likely help mend a broken heart.  Happy Daymare from Orius (Xexex in Japan) is a fully pumped track that will definitely get you fired up. 

Rob was still out while his leg mended, but special guest and LMH user Spencer Crittenden was there to share in the VGM appreciation.  There was a lot to appreciate too, because this mix is filled with some totally Bonk tunes!  Check out the track from Mother that features that iconic Hirokazu Tanaka style and speaking of iconic styles, there's also a Tim Follin jam from Time Trax that

Rob was unfortunately out due to a broken leg, but special guest Doug Lussenhop aka DJ Douggpound helped fill in.  Rob was there in spirit though, with a request for a classic Skitchin' track.  Additionally, Doug was given a crash course on 3rd and 4th generation video game music including the Beatles-inspired pop music of Mother, the tropical flavor of Soreyuke Ebisumaru Karakuri, and

Not really sure why this episode is called "Hackers."  Maybe the boizz talk about hacking at one point, but they definitely talk about other stuff.  Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Song - Company - Console - Year (North American release unless otherwise indicated)Ranger X - Yoshinobu Hiraiwa - Stage 1-1 (Desert) - Sega - Genesis - 1993Don Doko Don 2 -

Counting backwards from ten...nine...your eyelids are getting heavy.  Eight...seven...focus on the sounds of the arpeggios from Alberto José González.  Six...five...the FM synth of Undead Line washes over you.  Four...three...the orchestral strings of Tsuri Tarou put you in a deep relaxed state.  Two...one...you are now having a great time listening to some fantastic

This mix has a lot to offer. You got some "Chreepy" music from the likes of Splatterhouse, a Cocoon track that could have easily fit on a Mega Man game, and a cool breakdown section that happens in the Bubble Bobble Part 2 track that does not repeat and leaves you wanting more.Download and listen NOWMANATREE'S AWARDS & COMMENDATIONSInstant favorite:  Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon - Stage 5
