Got Gene Dreyband back in the shop to talk about California based game developers that, due to various reasons, no longer exist. Defunct if you will! Gene shares his memories of some these companies, one of which he lived nearby as a kid. Also a fun aside, I had to figure out how to install a pre windows 98 game in order to get it’s music, isn’t that fun?

Gene is the cohost of Pixelated Audio, a VGM podcast focusing on bringing awareness to the history and preservation of lesser known retro games and their music.

Wavetables are an interesting sort of synthesis, especially in the context of VGM. It sits in a strange space between simple PSG and complex FM, easily moving closer to one or the other. Inspired by a monthly compo hosted on Button Mashers Discord channel, this month being polled between 4 types of wavetable soundchips, we’re gonna take a mini dive into these 4 chips (plus one other)

The 80s and 90s. I was born in the point when one was bleeding into the other and there is a phantom nostalgia I have for this time that I was not developed enough to be aware of. So today I am going to share Original, Non vgm tracks that have been made within this past decade that invoke the “Vibe” of a time 30+ years gone. Please be sure to check out all the artists featured, all their work is truly amazing!!
