July 15, 2019 19:36 - 1 hour - 79.8 MB

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez do something a little different this time. Rather than look at the soundtrack to one game, we look at a compilation album.

April 25, 2019 00:11 - 58 minutes - 108 MB

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are going guns blazin’ for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version of Midnight Resistance.

The soundtrack is a testament to how good music on the Genesis can be […]

ROWYCO 11 – Ikaruga

April 11, 2019 22:26 - 1 hour - 129 MB

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez are covering another shooter. This time, it’s not rail-type. No, we’re going with one of the most-respected and well-know vertical shooters ever made – Ikaruga. Hiroshi Iuchi was the composer for this one and, much like Star Fox’s composer Hajime Hirasawa, this would be his last credit for composing. In […]

ROWYCO 10 – Star Fox (SNES)

March 27, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 139 MB

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez get back to a slightly less ambitious project. This episode, we’re talkin’ Star Fox’s hit-or-miss soundtrack. Rather than cover any low points, we stick to highlighting what we feel are strongest compositions in the game. This wasn’t Hajime Hirasawa’s only work. It was not only the first major work he […]

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez finish up their tribute to the longtime Editor-in-Chief of RPGamer, Michael ” Macstorm” Cunningham.

ROWYCO 8 – Ys Seven – Disc One

March 13, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 215 MB

I’m going to go ahead and, if you will, break the fourth wall on this post. I tried writing this in the third-person like I normally do, but it just never felt right, no matter how many times I attempted to fix it. This episode is a little different. Dominic and I are not just […]

ROWYCO 7 – Pictionary (NES)

February 27, 2019 07:00 - 48 minutes - 88.4 MB

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez take their first dive into the music of Tim Follin. Tim is a bit of a legend for some of his work with the NES, but we decided to take a look at one of his less-celebrated soundtracks. Pictionary is, admittedly, a bit of a strange place to start, but I think as […]

It had to happen eventually, I venture out on my own to talk about video game music. In this inaugural episode, I talk about some of my favorite introductory themes in games.
