Description
The Legacy Music Hour podcast was created by Brent Weinbach and Rob F. for the purpose of sharing and talking about video game music from specifically the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. No remixes, no covers, no video game inspired music -just pure, original music from the NES, SNES, Genesis, and more.

All rise, court is in session. Today we will be presenting evidence that the Legacy Music Hour is guilty of spreading video game music of the "tenner" variety. Exhibit A: "Title Screen" from Honkaku Mahjong: Tetsuman II. This track clearly demonstrates a smooth and jazzy tone which builds into a fantastic sax piece at the end. Exhibit B: "Stage 5" from Shadow of the Ninja
This episode had a fun theme: tracks that end. Meaning, tracks that don't loop indefinitely. That's right, you'll find a lot of title themes and ending/credits tracks here, as opposed to stage BGMs which usually loop. "Opening" from Shadow of the Ninja is a great example of a title piece that can get you pumped to start a game. And "Opening" from Track & Field on the
You know the drill. Brent and Rob share their top ten favorite newly discovered tracks that were played on the show over the past year. Gabe does his top five. You think there'll be some crossovers?

It's a secret to everybody.Well... not everybody. The LMH users know the secret to finding great music, because this week's mixtape is filled with lots of secret hits! We start off with the cheerful and upbeat "Tea Time" from Panorama Cotton on the Mega Drive. "Final Race" from Mini-Yonku Let's & Go!! Power WGP 2 on the Super Famicom features some excellent bass, and it's no
Have you've ever listened to a track and liked it, but wished there was more? That was the theme for this episode. For example, the short, twenty second long track from Gomola Speed sounds like the beginning of an 80's goth or new wave track. While still good on its own, it leaves you wishing there was just a bit more. Of course, these opinions are all subjective. So
Fresh off the Best Of Year In Review, the boizz hit the new year running with so many new potential top ten tracks and thus, as the title implies, this episode was packed with tenners."Commission (BGM 1)" from Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman has tenner potential written all over it. Be sure to listen for the cool, bluesy breakdown towards the end of the track. "Ending" from Panorama Cotton
Not since 2013, has the Legacy Music Hour done a focus on castle music in video games, but here's one now, twelve years later. So this all music from either castle-themed stages or castle areas (in role-playing games, for example).

You don't need to hack the system to access these great tracks. They've been compiled into this convenient mixtape, just for you! There's a lot to explore here, starting with a pumped up piece from the run-and-gun game Ranger X. Ending 2 (The End) from Don Doko Don 2 is a triumphant and whimsical Famicom tune and Emerald Forest from Socket for the Genesis is fantastic -listen
You would be forgiven for thinking the focus of this episode was ending music, which makes sense considering ballads are often used for ending tracks. Ballads traditionally tell a story or narrative, and while these tracks are purely instrumental, they still convey a lot through emotion. Whether it's an ending track to reflect upon your completed adventure, a specific character's
1In Episode 287, Brent, Rob, and Gabe talk about Rite Aid and John Williams. Brent also tells Rob and Gabe about a dream he had. And obviously, there's video game music!

There's a lot to say about the music in this mixtape, but I'll try to keep it brief. "The Final Space Fight (Stage 6)" from Falsion comes in strong with that iconic Konami sound we all know. Following that, "Options Theme ~ City Area" from Kid Chameleon is a total funk-fest with some great slappin' crunchy bass similar to something you might hear in Toejam & Earl. "Exodus (
After over two hundred episodes later, our cowboizz have rode back into town to share a second round of Old West tracks. That means games or stages within games that have an Old West theme, and as you'll see, this waterin' hole hasn't run dry yet.The journey begins with "Scenario 4" from Gunple: Gunman’s Proof. This track features a great whistled melody which is a classic trait of
Episode 260 is packed with so many great tunes. From the start, we get a really fun track, "Balanced BGM" from the Sega arcade game Ace Attacker, which sounds bright and optimistic with a little attitude thrown in. "One's Side" from Langrisser II is a great motivational piece with a driving beat that makes excellent use of the Mega Drive's musical capabilities. That's followed
It's another classic free play with all the variety you expect. Starting off with Falsion, a Famicom Disk System game, you get a quality third gen style piece. "Main Theme" from Metal Fangs for the Mega Drive is short but builds tension in a fantastic way. "Credits" from the PC Engine game 1943 Kai is a total jam that will stick with you. And that's just a taste of what to
The topic of this episode is “interesting” music, whatever that means. It’s kind of open to interpretation, but if you really get down to it, it basically means good tracks in an unusual way. Along with the music, you get a couple nice morse code solos, Rob tries out some Seinfeld-esque stand-up comedy, and there's a listening appreciation session to at least one emergency test
OK, LMH user, your showcase is a fully loaded mixtape featuring all your favorites hits. First, we'll be sending you on an all expenses paid vacation to the insect world of Insector X with "Grooving Diver (Round 3: City Area)". After that, you can relax to the calming tones of "Let’s Play!" from Gamble Hourouki. Of course, no showcase would be complete without some treasure and
The puzzles are solved, the villain is slain, and the credits are about to roll. You know what that means...it's time for some ending music! Sometimes triumphant, sometimes melancholic, but always a treat. A good ending track can take you on a journey remembering everything you experienced throughout the game. And though the game may be over, the totally bonk jams are just
On the rare occasion the Legacy Music Hour goes beyond the fourth generation for an episode. But on this rarest of occasions, they did back-to-back Beyond 16-Bit episodes. Somehow, even in an episode with relaxed rules for what tracks are legal to play, an illegal track slipped though, as "Jewelry (Prize Cue 1989)" from Wheel of Fortune on Sega CD was a previously existing track, not
For Episode 285, Rob purposely picked all Sega console tracks, but by coincidence and by accident, Brent picked all Nintendo console tracks, so it ended up being an accidental Sega versus Nintendo showcase. Other than, Brent and Rob look at some suggestive artwork and then try to recreate it for the episode photo. Full track listing below.Download and listen NOWGame - Composer - Track

Love that they stick to original tracks—there’s something really nostalgic about hearing those chip tunes exactly as they were https://eromeoficial.com/.
If you're looking for a break from your regular routine, maybe a trip to the casino to try your luck at the slot machines is in order. The reviews of the gaming platforms http://igamblermi.com you're considering utilizing should, however, be your first priority. You'll be able to see which ones are crucial to fill, which will reduce the likelihood of making any errors.
Where did episode 11 disappear to?
Mega Man always had the best music
In Italy it's either futbol or calcio... American football is futbol Americano.

Episode 172 is my favorite hands down. Way too funny
I used to listen to this podcast years ago, but quit after I switched jobs to one where I could no longer listen to music and podcasts. I am so glad it is still here. I feel that this show was made for a guy like me.
