Wibble - classic chip tunes podcast

I finally got round to starting my new podcast. You can download from the banner above or subscribe via iTunes (my bandwith is a bit limited at the moment so download direct if you can).

I'm covering most formats from Spectrum to Arcade and will probably develop the format a little once I get back into the swing of things (suggestions have been noted for later!)

Episode 1 has some awesome music from Crime Fighters (arcade) so check it out.

The website for the podcast is at http://www.pcengine.co.uk/podcast if you want to keep up with the episodes from there.

Thanks - downloading now for later enjoyment (or trying to anyway).  By the by, what's the meaning of Wibble?  Is it a close relative of a Tribble?

It's more a reference to the wibbly wobbly sounds of early chip music. But the added Blackadder connection makes it cool.

Thanks for your comments.

Don't you think that Konami had one of the most awesome sound chips in their arcade machines? I love the sound of Crimefighters and their other stuff from that era.

Believe it or not, I'm more impressed with the sound they managed to squeeze out of NES/Famicom than the arcade hardware. Still, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy Crimefighters and arcade tunes. :)

Heck, I even like the minimalist tunes from MegaZone (which sounds downright archaic compared to the stuff you are referring to).

I really enjoyed the old PC Engine City podcasts, so if the format of this is similar, I'm sure it'll be a home-run.
