This marked the first episode to go completely remote as a safety precaution during the early COVID-19 lockdown. Not even a pandemic could stop the boizz though, because there is still plenty of great VGM to share. Speaking of which, this free play mixtape doesn't miss a beat. To start off, "Staff Roll" from Umi Tsuri Meijin: Suzuki Hen is a chill and relaxing track that features the sound of rolling ocean waves. But don't get too relaxed though, because following that is "Ice Cave (Stage 6)" from Dragon Saber, which despite being an ice level, this track totally brings the heat!
"Silent" from Alien Soldier is a cool yet creepy piece that makes great use of the Mega Drive's sound capabilities, which is no surprise since it is composed by the legendary Norio Hanzawa. Finally, what good mixtape would be complete without some classic golf tracks from games like Bandai Golf: Challenge Pebble Beach and Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf. So grab your headphones (or not), quarantine yourself, and dive deep into this mixtape.
