Rock on! Excellent show, as always

Wonderboy III: Monster Lair's Redbook audio tracks are superb and it was nice to hear the ending credit music.

It was really neat to hear the Soldier Blade (or was it Super Star Soldier?) remix -- definitely nice to learn about stuff like that, since I wouldn't otherwise know where to find it.

It was Super Star Soldier.

I'll probably feature more remixes in future and although there is a lot of original Engine music still to do, I'm considering popping in the occasional arranged version from perfect collections and such.

OK, I listened to show again, this time with headphones

In fact, it might be kool to include both original and arranged versions of a particular song in the same show -- just so folks can compare them... While not everyone might be keen on this, I think it's a neat idea.

IMPORTANT

:
How did you know the names of the songs for Hana Taka Daka (Long-nosed Gremlin)? I have yet to play the game, though I've been wanting to pick it up for ages...

I was going to play the original SSS before the remix but I wanted to save that for later as it's such a good tune.

Hana Taka Daka: The names are in the sound test. Simple!

FANTASTIC again! Paul, my friend, you have very similar PCE music tastes of mine. The two Ys songs you have played so far are both my favorites for each game and I love the Hana Taka Daka song!

TANGENT:

Quote from: "PCE Bible Website"

If you are browsing on a Mac, the top bar will not work in IE. There are also some layout issues in Safari. Buy a PC.

hahaha

I use both PC and Mac all the time. Tell Mac folks to use Firefox or Safari. Perhaps older version of these browsers / older OS's didn't render your site as you intended, but now everything is fine (details below).

Opera is one of the best browsers (both for PC and Mac), and really faithful to the CSS and HTML standards... so if you design and test your site with Opera, you're "guaranteed" to have really high cross-platform and cross-generation compatibility. I say "guaranteed" because IE is so flawed it's crazy.

The scoop:

1. Safari (1.3.1, Mac OSX 10.3.9) -- displays your site fine, as far as I can tell. Layout is intact, all links work, including top menu bar (A-Z).

2. Firefox (1.02, Mac OSX 10.3.9) -- ditto, everything works fine

3. Opera (8.02, Mac OSX 10.3.9) -- top menu bar doesn't work, otherwise, everything is fine.

I don't use Mac IE because it hasn't been updated in years.

MY PLUG OF THE DAY: Get Opera! It's ad free now (this just happened recently!) and it's a really sweet browser. I still use Firefox 80% of the time, but Opera is nice and deserves some love

BACK ON TOPIC:

Nice podcast, man! I do a podcast over at my site as well and I'll be sure to mention yours. I'm always up for giving PC Engine-related stuff a mention.

Keranu · « **Reply #8 on:** October 24, 2005, 01:41:54 PM »

Here's the real scoop:

NEVER use IE!

Today I was able to listen to the entire show and it was awesome! I think I played it like 3 times thru already.

Thanks sunteam_paul! Looking forward to future episodes.

A suggestion for future episodes: selections from Bloody Wolf. I always loved that soundtrack. That and Dungeon Explorer.

Hell yeah! I love Dragon Spirit and Saber tunes. PCE ver pulled off some pretty good sounds too.

There's a code on Dragon Saber arcade hardware that substitutes the orginal music with Dragon Spirit remix music. All I can say is that the remakes on the Dragon Saber sound hardware are amazing. Just insert a coin and hold down both shoot buttons and press start. Works on Namco Museum (Encore?) version as well I think.

Ditto on Bloody Wolf! DE is stellar, but I haven't heard BW in ages.
