Rob and Pernell take a break from the usual, and get down with some original chiptunes! The focus this week isn’t just for original chip-music, that is music made specifically with older hardware. The tracks picked for the show are just excellent tunes created with the classic sounds and hardware as the focal point of the show. There’s also a lengthy discussion of Anamanaguchi at the end of the show for some reason.
Such a special show deserves a special guest! This week the Super VGM Bros. are joined by R&P All-Star Matt Waldron (Pernell and Matt Play Games).
