Forever Sound Version

It’s our second system-specific episode on the bounce, following on from Episode 9’s Speccy focus by pressing fast forward and landing on the mighty Nintendo 64! Nintendo’s cartridge-based 64-bit beast was big on graphics and pure gameplay, not necessarily making sound and music a priority, but many VGM composers still managed to produce some great pieces for this much-celebrated machine. For this episode, I’m joined by special guest Michael Thorne!

What we’re gonna do right here is go back… How far are we gonna go back? Way back! It’s time for some chip music from a highly esteemed home computer system, Sinclair’s ZX Spectrum. Lock in and enjoy tracks that make use of the Speccy’s built-in beeper, as well as some tunes from the 128k version’s square wave sound chip. Extra special thanks to Daz for helping me to put this show together – most of the tracks that feature on this show are his suggestions!

Whilst the Shadowrun video games of the nineties might be considered fairly obscure – they didn’t exactly fly off the shelves at the time – they possess some very special charms, their soundtracks being among them. In this episode, I cover the music from the Shadowrun franchise’s games for the SNES, Mega Drive, and Mega CD.

Bomb Jack was one of the very first video games that I ever played, so it’s a title that is particularly close to my heart. This episode turned out to be a diverse one in terms of music, featuring cheerful retro arcade jingles, driving SID chip jams, and some truly inspired moments from Alberto Jose Gonzalez.
