Episode 240: Competition

Competition is kind of the theme of Episode 240 -not just in sports but also on the streets and other things.  But also, guess what though?  More Pac-Man talk on this episode!  And more controversial theories about the Pac-Man universe.  Speaking of controversies, the boys also touch on the scam going on with retro video game prices these days.  Full track listing below.

LMH Mixtape #129: Twilight Games

Following up on their launch games focus, Brent and Rob took another suggestion from user Ryan and curated a selection of "twilight" games: games that were published during their console's final year (or years) of active title releases. Taken together, these two mixtapes form an engaging and symmetrical retrospective on composition and hardware -- like bookends, made of chiptune.

Episode 239: The Olympics

This episode is Olympics themed, especially on Rob’s end of track selections.  Different years also come up a bit, years like 1996 and 1943 and so forth.  Should arm wrestling be an event at the Olympics? Should Rob become a full time psychic?  These questions and more might just be answered on the Legacy Music Hour.  Full track listing below.

LMH Mixtape #128: Launch Games

For Episode 128, the boizz followed a suggestion from user Ryan and took a sampling of the tunes from games that launched the same year their console debuted. Not only was this a fascinating snapshot of how the composers handled each piece of new hardware, but along the way, Rob F. Switch also coined that very particular pronunciation of "boy" that we can no longer live without.
