2024/05/29

This mixtape has a lot to offer, starting with a classic high-energy shoot-them-up track from the arcade game Saint Dragon. "Be Your Age! (Area 3)" from Viewpoint is playful and quirky while also being really catchy.

LMH Mixtape #210: Beyond 16-Bit 4

The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast ·

2024/04/24

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 Knight soundtrack by Jake Kaufman.

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