Notes:
Nee is a silly goose and uploaded "Extreme Road Trip Ingame" in both MP3 and FLAC for some reason or another, so if you're one of those lossless creeps you can find that in the extras folder.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Blocks That Matter - Tetrobot Blocks that matter indeed. This is another of the rather awesome faux-chippies that we regularly seem to unearth around here and further proof that Bandcamp is where it's at when it comes to new and exciting VGM.

End of Eternity Original Soundtrack - Lower World 110% of Kohei Tanaka's work on this game is awesome. It's even better here as you don't need to suffer through 4 discs of bottom-drawer Motoi "Battle Theme" Sakuraba for the hour of Tanaka goodness.

Extreme RoadTrip OST - Extreme Road Trip Ingame This appears to be a genuine chippy, and a pretty good one at that. It's not really extreme, or trippy, but it is road.

Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue (Game Rip) - Forgotten Island Level 2 This game sounds like one of the many unfortunate entries in the 90's-era quest to turn 8-bit platformer heroes into Sonic the Hedgehog 3D. Still, it's got a nice quirky jungle vibe.

Megalomachia - Catastrophe UVB-76 Decent space opera music sadly overwhelmed by massive and horrible SFX.

Megami Tensei Online IMAGINE Original Soundtrack - Ueno Field Let's go down the MegaTen checklist here. Ambient electronic soundscape? Check. Total lack of melody? Double check. Ludicrous rap vocals? Thankfully no check.

Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! Original Soundtrack - baile con la mariposa Apparently that last bit means "butterfly dance" for those of us who do not speak Taco. It sounds more like "Zorro dance" to me, personally, but it's not bad.

Virtua Fighter Remix (Red Book Audio) - Character Select / Dural Theme Sounds vaguely like something from one of the mid-80's Rocky movies--Virtua Rocky if you will.

Quality week. We really pulled together on this one, team.

The Point Spread
Lower World - 3 pts.
Blocks That Don't Really Matter All That Much Unless You're Really Into Blocks That Way - 1 pt.
Extreme PaintBrawl RoadTrip CamelCase - 1 pt.
Frof the Bounty Hunter - 1 pt.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh you people. I've edited my post, but you'll never know what was my original intention

How ya doing, buddy?

I hated the music, but I will say this, DC: it introduced me to the conspiracy-ridden world of numbers stations.

And, in the end, isn't that what really matters?

I was speaking idiomatically.
