LMH Mixtape #167: Computer Game Music

In this special one time only episode the boizz dive into what would normally be an illegal set of tracks: computer game music!  They stick to the familiar 8 & 16 bit era (but allow CD-ROM games), so take this special opportunity to see how CGM is in some ways similar, but in many ways quite different from VGM.
