Another year comes to an end and as usual, Brent and Rob countdown their TOP TEN favorite video game music tracks of the year (Episodes 158 through 168).  To be more specific, Brent counts down his top ten favorite tracks while Rob makes it clear that all of his tracks are number ones.  Tracks selected for this episode are only pieces the boizz became aware of within the last two years

Welcome to one of the weirdest Legacy Music Hour mixtapes you'll ever listen to.  A "shorty" is any tune that is approximately ten seconds long: think menu screens, opening fanfares, completion jingles, and so on.  Because of their brevity, more than forty tracks get featured in each shorties episode.  Now you can listen to the first batch in one unrelenting rush, like some kind of

This month, Brent and Rob picked two issues of Nintendo Power each, and chose music selections only from games featured in those issues.  They talk about top selling games, video game help hotlines, and other stuff relating to the early 1990s.  Thanks to user Julian (hoo-lee-ahn) for providing The Legacy Music Hour with his old issues of Nintendo Power.  Full track listing below.

For years, the boizz have avoided a whole faction of game music that is somewhat similar to video game music, but also quite different: computer game music.  Often times, people think that VGM and CGM are the same thing, but they're not exactly, and the Legacy Music Hour was created to showcase video game music, particularly from the 8-bit and 16-bit era.  But, for this one time only

Writing the usual sort of unbiased third-person introduction was almost impossible for KeyGlyph this week.  Why is that, you ask?  Because for her -- as well as countless other gamers -- the music from the Sonic the Hedgehog series holds some of the nearest and dearest spots in her VGM-loving heart.  This mixtape may send you through loop-de-loops of nostalgia, or it may take you

Rob is still transitioning into his final form (in other words, super busy moving and getting things settled in Portland), so the computer game episode has been postponed until next month.  Instead, guest commentator, Jacob Sirof, joins Brent for another free play.  This episode features some tracks that have been hiding in Brent’s back pocket over the years, and Jacob gets really into
