RC 267: 16-bit Show Part 1 – Dungeon Nightmares

A long awaited (well by me anyway) sequel to the 8-bit Show, here’s double (or in some cases quadruple) the bits, and double the show if you listened to the stream last Wednesday since this is the new improved DLC extended version. EXTEND! NICE 1P! CHECKPOINT! This part is mostly about the video game music from the end of the ‘golden period’ of arcade games around 1984 and the start of the 16 bit era with games from SEGA, TAITO et al, but also includes some music from the 16 bit consoles like the Mega Drive, SNES & Genesis, some related 32 bit arcade games, and 16 bit computers like the Amiga, ST and PC. Includes original arcade music, covers, remixes, conversions, mod tracker music and sound fx. Next part will focus more on the Amiga, which will premiere over at Radio Clash Live on Wednesday 10pm UK time.

Embedded in the show are quite a few bonus sample references, from Gauntlet, Marble Madness, 720°, OutRun and more. See if you can collect all the gems!
