Episode 52 - Granzort on the SuperGrafx
Listen here --> http://pixelatedaudio.com/52

Madou King Granzort was released in 1990 by Hudson Soft (developed by Mutech) for the PC Engine SuperGrafx. Sure, it's a bit on the obscure side but we fell in love with this game almost immediately for its fun gameplay, challenging platforming, and vivid graphics. This little gem didn't get a whole lot of love (namely due to being an exclusive SuperGrafx title) but packs a great soundtrack.

In 1991, Konami was cranking out hits for pretty much every system available. However, Sunset Riders for the arcade, refused to blend into the herd of releases.

Music of the arcade (Motoaki Furukawa) and console ports.

Galvanic Gunner Aleste
Listen here --> http://pixelatedaudio.com/56

Compile was responsible for dozens of games in the 80's and 90's but well-loved for their amazing shooters like the Aleste series. Aleste got its roots on the Sega Master System but made a portable detour on the Game Gear for two installments: GG Aleste (1991) and GG Aleste II: Lance Bird (1993). These vertical shooters are a blast to play, look gorgeous on Sega's first handheld, and are bundled with music from the SN76489 that totally rocks our world.

Astaroth: The Angel of Death
Listen here --> http://pixelatedaudio.com/61

Imagine, if you will, a game that’s from an Amiga developer heavily influenced by the English rock band Sisters of Mercy. Add in some truly insane music coupled with artwork that’s both sexy and demonic in the style of an 80’s heavy metal album cover (sporting a naked demon right on the title screen). The game you would get is Astaroth: The Angel of Death developed by Eldritch the Cat with music by none other than Jochen Hippel.

Illusion Blaze with Seung-Hwan Ro
Listen here --> http://pixelatedaudio.com/63

Retro gaming and game audio tends to get associated with US, Japan, and Europe because of the shear volume of games and media. But music is universal right? So, we thought to ourselves, why not look at some other countries take on game music -and in the 90s, Korea definitely brought some amazing stuff in the PC market.

Illusion Blaze (일루젼 블레이즈) was released on the PC in 1994 and developed by Family Production. The company took a bold step to bring local content to the Korean gaming market and even released some of their titles abroad. Their games were mostly composed by a duo known as D.A.C. that was producing a mix of rock and electronic music into a unique balance of “destructive harmony.” So, join in as we dip into Korean gaming history, Family Production, and chat with Seung-Hwan Ro of D.A.C.

Journey to Silius
Listen here --> http://pixelatedaudio.com/64

In this episode we (once again) have composer Naoki Kodaka in all his Sunsoft glory with Journey to Silius (aka [rʌf] World) for the NES/Famicom. This game has all the signs of what makes an NES title remembered as “classic.” And it’s dark visuals, gritty sound, and revenge-focused story draw their own highlights in the ocean of titles on the platform.

Join us as we take an in-depth look at the game, the composition, and it’s unbelievably heavy DPCM low-end pumping through the NES APU.
