ROWYCO 13 – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (SNES)
Welcome to Mighty Morphin May! Every week this month, Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are going to be picking games based on the Power Rangers.

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.

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 […]
ROWYCO – Interview With Josie “Visager” Brechner
I recently got the chance to review Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King. Going through it, more than a few tracks really stood out, so I tracked down the composer to compliment her on her work. We ended up chatting for a bit and what initially was an article that I thought was as good excuse as […]
