...and listeners like YOU.
I guess that you guys haven't seen the Rugrats in Paris movie. I watched it several times when I was a kid! The movie revolves around the babies' trip to an amusement park, so it would make sense in the context of the game to revolve around that premise.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the composers got inspiration for that Rocket Level track from the scene near the film's climax where Chuckie and the babies take control of a giant Reptar robot running around Paris?
The Bonus CD that came with Comix Zone is an EP that has arranged versions of the Genesis in-game music, performed by the band Roadkill (consisting of Howard Drossin and a few others and named after the protagonist, Sketch Turner's pet rat). I surmise that the in-game compositions came first and the arranged versions came afterwards.

Anyway, it's been an honor to help you guys out with the composer names! I'm flattered! Fun show as always!

The Jack Nicklaus track totally reminded me of a smooth jazz version of the theme song to Simon & Simon: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IDhz_mVcVCQ
ReplyDeleteIt's ironic that you guys were talking about the fact that Thanksgiving has no music; I JUST watched episode 6 of the new Netflix MST3K, and the invention of the day was a turkey/theremin hybrid to remedy THAT EXACT ISSUE. And I can totally see how missing even one element of what I just wrote would make the whole thing unintelligible.
Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie is the only Thanksgiving themed song (sort of) I can think of.
DeleteWow, I was wrong to say I don't like new songs, that NES Remix 2 track blew me away. Really great track!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kenny! Baby update: My 5-year-old and 3-year-old are currently in hour 12 of Chrono Trigger. We're about to get the Masamune from Mt. Denadoro. They're getting the SNES Classic for Christmas and I can't wait to get into Final Fantasy, Zelda, and Secret of Mana with them in our living room versus PC emulation at the desk. It's really rewarding for me to share with them the great music from these games, but also to see them get more comfortable being participants rather than spectators. I'm proud to see them developing the independence and confidence necessary to explore vast overworlds, boldly take on boss battles, and make strategic choices like healing heroes in crisis and conserving MP.
DeleteYes, I am reliving my childhood through my kids. But, I'm okay with that because I see my role as showing them these amazing games and letting them make the choice to go back to them if they want.
