We haven’t listened to a soundtrack from UPL since episode 48, so I think it’s time to listen to one that doesn’t need anyone to redeem it. As I mentioned in the show, head over to Yoshio Nagashima’s Twitter and get some of his new music if you’re able. Support me on Patreon! The ROWYCO […]

Rather than be bummed out about not getting the Metal Gear: Snake’s Revenge soundtrack on vinyl, I thought it would be nice to appreciate that I got Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on vinyl. Since it’s a pretty substantial soundtrack (you might say it’s one of “substance”), we’re going to split it up over two […]

I’ve previously done some digging about video game music that sounds awfully similar to other stuff. The other four of those episodes are behind a $3 paywall on Patreon. But, going forward, I’ll be putting these out on the main feed. This time, we’re looking into some of Koji Kondo’s “inspirations”. Support me on Patreon! […]

I don’t get a chance to talk to too many musicians, so I jumped on the chance of having Trevor Lentz on. I got a chance to talk with him about his recent album, What? Chiptuneis Evolving!, how he got started in music, some of the projects he’s previously done, and stuff he’s currently working […]

Ridiculous name? Check. Kick-ass soundtrack? Check. A pretty average vertical-scrolling shooter? Check. Sounds like we’ve got a game tailor-made for ROWYCO. Support me on Patreon! The ROWYCO theme song is “Kaze Fuma” and was created by chibi-tech for the podcast. The ROWYCO logo was designed by Melissa Diaz. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram! Follow the show on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Get the […]

I’m doing a little bit of a comparison episode for the fist time in a while. What could be more exciting to listen to than the soundtrack to an airline business simulation? Why, the soundtrack to one of those and the remake of it! Support me on Patreon! The ROWYCO theme song is “Kaze Fuma” […]

This week, I’m doing something I haven’t done in quite a while – a Game Boy game! Aerostar has a peppy little soundtrack that I hadn’t heard until recently. Yes, it’s another obscure shooter, and no, I’m not apologizing for it. Support me on Patreon! The ROWYCO theme song is “Kaze Fuma” and was created […]

This week, we’re checking out the soundtracks to the arcade versions of Chase H.Q. and its sequel, Special Criminal Investigation. The late Takami Asano made some great tunes to ram bad guys off the road to, so let’s start going through the series with the first two entries! Support me on Patreon! The ROWYCO theme […]

This week, I’m joined by a very special guest. While she’s not famous quite yet, she’s an up-and-coming violinist who also happens to love video game music. Oh yeah, she also happens to be my daughter! Nepotism. Ain’t it grand? Anyway, I’m joined by Angelia Arriola to talk about some of her favorite video game […]
