We’re Not Dead Yet! But You Could Be…..

Well it’s been quite a hiatus, and I think it’s been hard on both of us… But fear not! We’ll call you back the next Month.
Anyway, in honor of being overly late I’ll be doing a Halloween inspired game that has deserved a throne in the horror
game shrines for decades: Clock Tower. This game has scared the bejesus out of daring gamers for over a decade,
and don’t let its successors lull you into a semblance of confidence, this game will knock you dead, or you’ll die trying.

A look at VG sucession

Well I was playing around with SNES and PSX controller and I had a thought. Is it possible that the two consoles have some relation?

So I decided to do some investigating in order to see for myself if the Playstation could be the true successor to the SNES.

Stand Out Game Introductions

Well today I was playing an online Video Game Music quiz and I happened upon the opening theme of Cannon Fodder. I’ll just say that I had no idea what was coming there, it starts out with ska chords and goes into “♫ War, never been so much fun…♫” So for the focus of this article I will talk about some attention grabbing intros.  Not all of them need take the Cannon Fodder approach but all of them have some quality that makes them unforgettable.

Collection of Epic Tracks

Well I have been lagging on coming up with a new soundtrack to do, so I decided to go with my idea of making a top list of epic tracks. One of my favorite things about making this list was seeing how varied each track was from system to system and game to series.

Flying Omelette: Heads Up

One website that has been a constant aid and source in my quest for video game knowledge and especially video game music and composers is the Flying Omelette. http://www.flyingomelette.com/ is an excellent website for the retro gamer because there is a Q & A section on the website where questions of just about any nature relating to games or the website can be answered, and there are also forums for further communication if a person is so disposed.
