To coincide with us doing Mega Man X on our latest Game club podcast, I decided to do something I didn’t think I would do on ROWYCO – cover Mega Man X. Sure, I did Mega Man Maverick Hunter X way back on episode 2 of this, but that’s going on three years ago now. […]

This week, we’re checking out the unrelentingly peppy soundtrack to the adventure platformer, The Adventure Pals. Composed by Chris Geehan and Dan Bryne-McCullough who make up HyperDuck SoundWorks, this soundtrack will brighten your day, no matter what’s going on around you. Can’t get enough of it? I couldn’t either, so you should go buy it […]

I mean, I’ve said how much I love a good shooter soundtrack and how much I love a good X68000 soundtrack. Now, a good X68000 shooter soundtrack? Yeah, right in my wheelhouse. Anyway, you’ll […]
