The Legacy Music Hour Video Game Music Podcast
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.

LMH Mixtape #209: Creed II
We've got another free play full of bangers for your listening pleasure. Looking to relax? "Chillin'" from Side Pocket is a perfectly apt name for that track, with its tropical flavor and laid back tone. Don't get too comfortable though, because you may be called upon to save the world with some pumped up tracks like "Outside The Base" from The Cyber Shinobi and "Hotel Dada"

LMH Mixtape #208: Ending Music 3
The boizz celebrated the start of a new year with a focus on ending music. This is the third focus of its kind, and as you'll hear, there's no shortage of supply for great ending tracks, tracks that really shape the mood and tone of the conclusion of a game and this case, a whole range of expressions. There's a great bluesy track from Darkwing Duck, a cool jazzy number from Viewpoint,

Episode 271: Shooters
Not to be confused with "Flying and Shooting," the topic of this episode is Shooters. So not just shoot-them-up games, but any game with some sort of shooting. Shooting of a gun, shooting of a camera, shooting of balls in a panchinko machine, whatever. Brent gets a little delirious on this one, by the way.

LMH Mixtape #203: Tim Follin
Iconic video game composer Tim Follin has a distinct style that fans can recognize instantly. As a western composer, Tim brought his prog rock influences to create some incredibly beloved soundtracks, including Solstice and Pictionary, just to name a couple. One distinct trait you'll notice is the use of arpeggios, which can be heard on many of his tracks, including High Score from

If you thought the boizz were out of TurboGrafx-16 tracks, think again. With so many great tracks to choose from, including many user submitted ones, the only logical thing to do was to make a third TurboGrafx-16 focused episode. “In-Game 7” from Aoi Blink (also known as Blue Blink) is a fantastic 70's electronic style track (listen for those cascading notes).

The TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine (and SuperGrafx) has so much great music that the boizz dedicated a second full episode to showcase what the system had to offer, and there is certainly a lot here to enjoy. The deep synth bass on "In-Game 1" from Break In is so smooth and grooving, you can almost get lost in it. In "Sphere 4" from Neutopia II, listen for the creative use of what you

If you went to the arcade in the 80's or 90's, you heard some pretty great video game music from the arcade machines.
