Trying something new, exploring 4 new albums every week. Albums I've never heard or it's been a long time.

Not just a listen. Multiple listens to absorb, learning about the game and maybe music production. Learning to play drums/piano(?) with some songs.

I'm very interested in NAMCO right now.

I got from a friend who got it from a Supermodel named Paul

The full secret credits for Harley-Davidson & L.A. Riders, which can only be unlocked with a code. We still don't know what the code *is*, but the hex code in the ROM could still be translated.

At least I found a YouTuber who played through the same mode for Eiketsu Taisen and didn't cut out the credits. I split up the Eiketsu Taisen page too and now have 3 sets of credits, with a lot of the same names that developed Sonic Frontiers/Origins/Shadow Gens.

I watched Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight and loved it! While I did read plenty of the original comics, I never read The Big Fight, only saw the film adaptation. This version has a very different feel overall, perfect adaptation of the comics style while adding comedy through motion and music.

As teased on @thesegalounge.com, I rewrote the article on Sega Retro about Hiro (Hiroshi Kawaguchi). Now you can read extensively about his early life and career.

I hope you enjoy the way it's written, but I also hope I can keep adding to it in the future.

Look it's Hirofumi Okamoto! (Not Hiroshi btw, see Baku Baku Animal and Last Bronx)

This is him in WHERE'S WALLY as Muttley, with pet Muttley.

I really didn't know until today that SEGA AGES 2500 FANTASY ZONE COLLECTION has a sound test where you can listen to every M2-developed SEGA AGES 2500 game's music. But only if you have save data for them.

They're kind to give the full list on the website ages.sega.jp/vol33/secret...

I reorganized my desk a bit, cleaning up a few bits and displaying the few video game merchandise I have on the side. That book by Yuzumo Design contains a page of my digital illustration.

Blame the Shayne Guesses Battlestations video on Smosh Pit for this.

Past 4 days, I've added (pretty much) the whole video gameography for The Lord of the Rings to VGMdb. Would've added Tales of the Shire but apparently that's been delayed a couple times so... I'll hold on that.

Also listened to plenty of the games music at the same time.

Shower and shave soundtrack today was HOMESTAR PORTABLE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK.

Can't link you the album since it's not on YouTube. Best I can do is these 5 songs on Ether Music Club. Absolutely fitting, it's up there with the Ecco games for best fall-asleep songs.

Also! A new person in sound special thanks is Saki Tsuda. She's a singer briefly appeared on SEGA SOUND STREET in 2024.

Also on Twitter retweeted something about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, might be on that team.

An artist who creates menus for games could use that toolset to design websites.

Takeshi Ichimura worked at SONICTEAM on both. I think at PROPE he only did games, same for his work on Ni no Kuni II and Tekken 8.

Racing Games are not Video Games

Today I want to focus on early 00's console games. Maybe Virtual-On Marz?

We're still a bit lacking on Sonic, so I've done Sonic Heroes this morning. Could do with some polishing (better descriptions, including songs in pre-rendered cutscenes).

Sometimes you find out, the song you first hear during gameplay was the last song composed for the game.

Here's Quartet ending on Quartet Theme, and Shinobi ending on BGM 1.
