This week we're joined by Manu of various podcasts but most importantly Podcast Sans Frontieres to talk about Metal Gear Solid 3 - Snake Eater. The series has always had one foot in the cinematic and the soundtrack for 3 is no exception, drawing from Bond themes and Henry Mancini while still keeping the signature techno-thriller sound from the previous games.Join our Discord!⁠Podcast Sans FrontieresNotacastMy Brother, My Captain, My PodcastManu's Bluesky⁠VGATWTOE⁠⁠Existential

Mini 005 - Planet Puzzle League

2025/02/28

Just back with another mini episode. I'm gonna try to do one of these every 2 months this year to see how it goes. I'd love to justify doing more episodes a year and I thought that Patreon had stretch goal type things but I guess they don't anymore, but I'm not gonna pimp the Patreon too much though it's definitely a factor in how much I'm likely to do more. I'm not interested in gating episodes behind a paywall but if you like the show at least consider throwing us a couple of dollars a month and

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/28

It's time to mount up and mosey on down to Wild ARMS 3 with Deputy Scott okay I'll stop the cowboy shite. We're talking the Western inspired Wild ARMS 3 this week and it's a game/soundtrack that I've loved for many years so as soon as Scott suggested it I had to get him back on. Michiko Naruke's tunes are inspired by a lot of classic westerns, naturally, but she brings such a heart to them that is as charming as the game itself and doesn't just stick to the standard sounds you'd expect from a

2025/02/28

We're back to normal from Megami Tensei month with another bit of a grab bag episode of Sunsoft soundtracks. Boin, who previously joined us for a mini-episode on Journey to Silius returns to talk about a little bit of Blaster Master, a lot of GIMMICK and a little more about City Hunter for the PC Engine. Sunsoft are almost as well regarded for their soundtracks as for their games, if not more so, so we have a good chat about the general sound for these games and especially the influence of Jazz

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/28

Our month of Megami Tensei closes with a great little pair of Shoji Meguro soundtracks for the Devil Summoner sub-series. These were both on the PS2 so have a very similar sound to what was in Persona 3 and especially the Digital Devil Saga games which we previously did an episode on way back in episode 4. Thanks to Aden for being able to join us to talk about these games and their very good soundtracks.⁠Join our Discord!⁠Links of Note:⁠Zed's Kofi⁠⁠VGATWTOE⁠⁠Existential Warfare⁠⁠Linktree⁠⁠CRT

059 - SMT Month - Majin Tensei w/Teeps

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/28

Third episode in our Megami Tensei month is a lesser known SNES duo of Strategy RPGs called Majin Tensei. The music by Hidehito Aoki is stunning and really pushes the SNES to its limits, there's hints of techno-industrial and early Synthwave throughout that give both games a real grimy aesthetic. Definitely worth checking out. Thanks to Teeps for joining us on short notice!⁠Join our Discord!⁠Links of Note:⁠VGATWTOE⁠⁠Existential Warfare⁠⁠Linktree⁠⁠Reese's Bluesky⁠⁠Reese's Twitter⁠⁠Tom's

We're going weekly for the month of November to talk about a bunch of Megaten soundtracks that I think deserve a bit more attention. Professor Tom of Shujin Academy VGM Club joins us to kick things off with some chat about Persona Q2, a Persona 5 Spinoff for the 3DS based on the Etrian Odyssey series. Enter the labyrinth with us and listen to some nice new tracks as well as great arrangements of tunes from Persona 3, 4 and 5.⁠Join our Discord!⁠Links of Note: ⁠Shadow World - DE DE MOUSE

056 - Sayonara Wild Hearts

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/28

Just me and Reese for this one and it's one we've been trying to get to for a while. Sayonara Wild Hearts is an album as an endless runner rail shooter rhythm game and as such it really should be played to get the full experience, but the music is excellent and we had a great chat about the game and how it weaves music and narrative.⁠Join our Discord!⁠Links of Note:⁠VGATWTOE⁠⁠Existential Warfare⁠⁠Linktree⁠⁠Reese's Bluesky⁠⁠Reese's Twitter⁠⁠Tom's Mastodon⁠⁠Tom's Bluesky⁠Email: crtpodsystem [@]

058 - SMT Month - Tokyo Mirage Sessions w/Nate

CRT Soundsystem ·

2025/02/28

Back for week 2 of Megami Tensei month and it's finally time for me to talk about Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. It's one of my favourite RPGs on the Wii U/Switch and a real highlight in the series for me which is in no small part due to the music being exceptionally good even for a series that has notably great music as-is. Even though I don't really enjoy Fire Emblem, but the Fire Emblem stuff is more or less a bonus anyway, so I asked Nate from the 13 Sentinels episode to come back and provide some

Returning Champion Conqy joins us to talk about Mirror's Edge. Itself a fairly interesting game with some neat gameplay, however the main event here is the soundtrack by the Psytrance/Psybient artist Solar Fields whose synth heavy score provides the perfect backdrop for futuristic parkour and kicking guys off helicopters.⁠Join our Discord!⁠Links of Note: ⁠Follow Conqy on X the everything app⁠⁠Conqy on bsky⁠⁠VGATWTOE⁠⁠Existential Warfare⁠⁠Linktree⁠⁠Reese's Bluesky⁠⁠Reese's Twitter⁠⁠Tom's

This week we are joined by Kole Ross of Duckfeed.tv to talk about one of my all time favourites: Chrono Cross.
