LMH Mixtape #258: The Price Is Right

OK, LMH user, your showcase is a fully loaded mixtape featuring all your favorites hits.  First, we'll be sending you on an all expenses paid vacation to the insect world of Insector X with "Grooving Diver (Round 3: City Area)".  After that, you can relax to the calming tones of "Let’s Play!" from Gamble Hourouki.  Of course, no showcase would be complete without some treasure and some adventure, so you'll be taking a "Stage 2: Train Ride" through McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure.  All this and more can be yours, if... the price is right!

LMH Mixtape #257: Ending Music 4

The puzzles are solved, the villain is slain, and the credits are about to roll.  You know what that means...it's time for some ending music!  Sometimes triumphant, sometimes melancholic, but always a treat.  A good ending track can take you on a journey remembering everything you experienced throughout the game.  And though the game may be over, the totally bonk jams are just about to begin.  So without further ado, it's time to put the controller down and turn the volume up for Ending Music 4!

LMH Mixtape #256: Beyond 16-Bit 9

On the rare occasion the Legacy Music Hour goes beyond the fourth generation for an episode.  But on this rarest of occasions, they did back-to-back Beyond 16-Bit episodes.  Somehow, even in an episode with relaxed rules for what tracks are legal to play, an illegal track slipped though, as "Jewelry (Prize Cue 1989)" from Wheel of Fortune on Sega CD was a previously existing track, not actually written for the game.  That said, it's still a fantastic piece.  Unfortunately though, it has an abrupt ending, as the track was never intended to play for the full length.  This mixtape on the other hand is best enjoyed in full.  Check out the amazing music here that spans from the mid 90's to current day.

Episode 285: Sega Versus Nintendo

For Episode 285, Rob purposely picked all Sega console tracks, but by coincidence and by accident, Brent picked all Nintendo console tracks, so it ended up being an accidental Sega versus Nintendo showcase.  Other than, Brent and Rob look at some suggestive artwork and then try to recreate it for the episode photo.  Full track listing below.
