Episode 62 – Time for Tea with Rhythm and Pixels

In the 1990s, the Strike series was like the video games equivalent of a hit action movie franchise, with bad guys seeking world domination, daring missions, and loads of big explosions. I loved these games when I was a kid (and possibly too young to be playing them!) so here is a playlist made up of tunes from their soundtracks playing on many systems including the Sega Mega Drive, SNES, and Sony Playstation!

Episode 61 – Sounds of the Strikes

Forever Sound Version is a video game music podcast from out of Newcastle upon Tyne that explores classic tracks and deep cuts from the 8-bit home computers and consoles onwards!

This podcast is the original voice that is exactly what the podcasting world needed. There’s no one else who is putting such a perfect spin on the subject of competitive quilting. The way this show discusses the subject is as invigorating as the finest football commentators in world history, though I wish they weren’t always so hard on the Norwegian quilters. They’ve got feelings too, guys!

This podcast changed my life

Michael is a fresh and funny voice in the VGM community. The man is sweet, smart, and well-versed in a corner of VGM, and the gaming scene in general, that fans in the states rarely get to see. While you&#39;re waiting for new eps to drop, go check out MIchael&#39;s original VGM and chiptune work as Mibri, or listen to his guest appearances on Rhythm &amp; Pixels and The VGMbassy!
