Rock Out With Your Cart Out Dream Event 32
CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK TO THE EPISODE! Twice a month, I find the games that came out that half of the month in five year increments and pick out music from those games for a really long episode. For this episode, we’re looking at the games that came out in the first half of […]
Rock Out With Your Cart Out 63 – Power Blade 2 (NES)
Let’s go back to the world of the most dangerous boomerang in the world with Power Blade 2’s soundtrack. This was again handled by Kinuyo Yamashita (aka James Banana), so you know we’re in for some quality music here. Support me on Patreon. The ROWYCO theme song is “Kaze Fuma” and was created by chibi-tech for the […]
Rock Out With Your Cart Out 62 – Power Blade (NES)
It’s been quite a while since we’ve done a soundtrack from the NES (Mighty Final Fight, way back on episode 39), so I thought we’d go to a favorite of mine, Power Blade by Kinuyo Yamashita (aka James Banana). Support me on Patreon. The ROWYCO theme song is “Kaze Fuma” and was created by chibi-tech for the […]
GAJ Game Club – The Legend of Zelda (with Jim Cahill)
John Lucero, Vanessa Cahill, and Jason Arriola are joined by Jim Cahill to talk about the original The Legend of Zelda. It’s the 35th anniversary of this momentous game and we dig in deep to celebrate one of the most important games in the history of the industry! Here’s the comparison video that Clyde Mandelin made about the […]
Rock Out With Your Cart Out 55 – The Legend of Zelda (Famicom Disk System and Remixes)
Since today is the 35th anniversary of The Hyrule Fantasy: Zeruda no Densetsu (known to most of the Western world as The Legend of Zelda) releasing on the Famicom Disk System, I thought I’d go over the soundtrack for it. Now, considering how sparse the actual soundtrack is, I included some of my favorite remixes. […]
Rock Out With Your Cart Out 54 – Is That Supposed to be Singing?
As I did last year, I’m putting this episode out in remembrance of my grandma, Florence Kara. She passed away February 9th, 2019, and I want to keep this tradition going of putting an episode out that has pieces of music that I correlate with memories of her. Sometimes, the music itself has something to […]
ROWYCO 39 – Mighty Final Fight (NES)
This week, I’m listening to Mighty Final Fight! It’s a SD version of the arcade beat ’em up on the NES with a really great, albeit short, soundtrack. Setsuo Yamamoto and Yuko Takehara handled the compositions on this on. You might not know their names, but you’re more than likely familiar with their work! Support […]
ROWYCO 38 – My Name’s Not Florence, It’s Zelda
This week, I’m starting what is likely to be an annual tradition. About a year ago, February 9th, 2019, to be exact, my grandmother passed away. As you’ll hear in this episode, I’ve got a ton of memories of her with game music attached to them. Maybe it’s a bit of a stretch, but I […]
ROWYCO 24 – Tecmo Super Bowl (NES)
Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are ready for some football! Well, if it’s on the NES in the form of Tecmo Super Bowl, they are. Anyway, the boys listen to this to sort of ride the wave of the 2019 NFL regular season starting up today. Keiji Yamagishi and Ryuichi Nitta were the composers on this one and […]
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 […]
