Download Episode 107: “The Music of the PC-98” here! The PC-98 series of computers wasn’t really meant to play games. Ironically, it became the system with one of the most robust collections of it’s time.

In this episode, Mike and Ed explore some of the best music the PC-98 has to offer!

WARNING: Due to the adult nature of the games in this episode, there are some descriptions of mature content.
