ROWYCO 11 – Ikaruga
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are covering another shooter. This time, it’s not rail-type. No, we’re going with one of the most-respected and well-know vertical shooters ever made – Ikaruga. Hiroshi Iuchi was the composer for this one and, much like Star Fox’s composer Hajime Hirasawa, this would be his last credit for composing. In […]
ROWYCO 10 – Star Fox (SNES)
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez get back to a slightly less ambitious project. This episode, we’re talkin’ Star Fox’s hit-or-miss soundtrack. Rather than cover any low points, we stick to highlighting what we feel are strongest compositions in the game. This wasn’t Hajime Hirasawa’s only work. It was not only the first major work he […]
ROWYCO 9 – Ys Seven – Disc Two
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez finish up their tribute to the longtime Editor-in-Chief of RPGamer, Michael ” Macstorm” Cunningham. We take a deep look into the second disc of the Ys Seven soundtrack for what is easily our longest episode yet. This episode also acts as a great primer for people looking to get into […]
ROWYCO 8 – Ys Seven – Disc One
I’m going to go ahead and, if you will, break the fourth wall on this post. I tried writing this in the third-person like I normally do, but it just never felt right, no matter how many times I attempted to fix it. This episode is a little different. Dominic and I are not just […]
ROWYCO 7 – Pictionary (NES)
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez take their first dive into the music of Tim Follin. Tim is a bit of a legend for some of his work with the NES, but we decided to take a look at one of his less-celebrated soundtracks. Pictionary is, admittedly, a bit of a strange place to start, but I think as […]
ROWYCO 6 – Interviewing Megan Carnes About Inter-view
On this episode, Jason Arriola and an under-the-weather Dominic Chavez have a chat with Megan Carnes about her game, inter-view. We got a chance to talk about what her influences are, working on her first game, and some of her favorite game music. You can check out Megan’s music on her website, Bandcamp, and Soundcloud. […]
ROWYCO 4 – Shatterhand (NES) and Shadow of the Ninja (NES)
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez dig into the soundtracks for a couple of NES games. We go over Shatterhand, developed by Natsume and composed by Iku Mizutani and Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, and Shadow of the Ninja, which was developed by Natsume and composed by Iku Mizutani (notice the common item that got us here?). Both Iku […]
ROWYCO 3 – The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)
As a follow-up to our GAJ Game Club on The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez dig into its soundtrack. Ryo Nagamatsu was the composer on this one. He did a good job rearranging classic themes from previous entries in the series and adding in his own unique work. […]
ROWYCO 2 – Mega Man Maverick Hunter X (PSP)
Dominic Chavez decided Jason Arriola shouldn’t do a podcast by himself, so the two of them get together to start talking video game music. In this episode, the guys take a listen to the Mega Man Maverick Hunter X soundtrack. A PSP remake of one of the best entries in the Mega Man series was […]
