You’re training hard, but there isn’t enough time to show everyone? That’s when you need a montage! We’re talking tough-hard-hitting music for pumping iron. But we’re also talking about fun, harmonica-filled jams for the end of a 90s sitcom. Like Family Matters. What if that actually was Carl Winslow helping out Bruce Willis in Die Hard? We ask the tough questions.

Joining us on the show is Cameron from the video game cover band The Mad Gear! Cameron brings his wealth of game and music knowledge to the table and pushes it to the limit!

Episode 9-6 Password and Save Select

Leave a comment

episode_artwork86

Okay, where did I put that password. Is it in the back of the game’s manual? Is it on a post-it note stuck to my Gameboy? Oh there it is, of course! I had it tattooed on Pernell so I would never lose it!

This week we get goofy and listen to music composed for password screens and save select screens. Password functions are typically in older game systems that didn’t commonly support full game saves, so many of our tracks are from the classic 8bit and 16bit eras. We also included “save select” music to help cover more ground 🙂  Enjoy the tunes!

Track list:

  1. File Select – Yoshi: Topsy-Turvy – Gameboy Advance – Tatsuyuki Maeda, Masaru Setsumaru
  2. Password – The Guardian Legend – NES – Masatomo Miyamoto, Takeshi Santo
  3. Password – Arcus Odyssey – Genesis – Motoi Sakuraba
  4. Password – Mega Man V – NES – Mari Yamaguchi
  5. Select-A-Live – Live-A-Live – Super Famicom – Yoko Shimomura
  6. Keep An Adventure Log – Legend of the Mystical Ninja – Super Nintendo – Kazuhiko Uehara, Harumi Ueko
  7. ABCDE 12345 (Password Screen) – ABSRDST applebadge-sm
  8. I’m Taking It All Back (Goonies II) – TJ Nekko
  9. Rams In Space – River City Ransom: Underground – PC – Rich Vreeland (Disasterpeace), Dino Lionetti, Alex Mauer
