After a long, long time finally we have a new release out!

This time we have Jon Holland in da house rocking some serious electronica with Vectorman!
While the game may not be as iconic as Sonic or appealing as a Streets of Rage, its soundtrack is absolutely S rank.

I think this is the first videogame in the 16 bit era that has a well thought electronica soundtrack using different escamotages to overcome the Mega Drive’s sound chip limits.

To know what I’m talking about, please head over to our new Featured Articles section of the website you can find in the Menu: we have an exclusive interview with Jon who explains how the soundtrack has been created! That’s awesome stuff, you really need to check it out!

Onto the apologies: I know, I promised this release to be out by the end of the past week but we have undergone some serious work as you may (or may not) notice: The Equipment page is gone from the menu but you can still reach it through our FAQ page and in its place is now the aforementioned Featured Articles page where you can read all the articles written by our brave followers.

But that’s not all!
We have a new forum section too dedicated to the articles and that’s how you can submit one!
Yeah, you read that right: do you have some “insider” information that no one knows about a game? Do you want to write a review about one of our releases? Do you have some exclusive interview with someone who worked in the creation of a game?
Write an article for us! Submit it into our Featured Articles forum and if it’s good it may even make front page and be on our Articles page on the website!

Well, that’s quite a wall of text but these are amazing news for our project which keeps expanding and gaining popularity among the web and that’s awesome, just like our little, active community! You guys rock! :]

That’s all, there are a few more things coming, stay tuned so you don’t miss them!

P.S.: as always, the torrent download will be available shortly.

…or better I should say “I am back”!

The NYC experience has been terrific and has really opened my mind, truly, deeply inspiring.
But enough with that, let’s get down to work, about what’s to come!

The Castlevania: Bloodlines’ torrent is up, you can find it in the Releases section of the forum or in the Master List thread.

We’re going to postpone a bit the creation of the Featured Articles page in the website because I want to get a new release out asap… one entire month without releases is really disappointing for all of you as it is for me as well.

Well, be sure to check back in the next week, we’re going to work as fast as we can to bring out something new for you!

See ya!

Comment this news

Today we’re proud to announce that we have released a true masterpiece, a soundtrack so epic that you have to listen to it to fully understand what we’re talking about: enjoy Castlevania: Bloodlines!

The game franchise doesn’t need to be talked about as it is well known worldwide among every one of us, both the old school gamers and the newer generation of players. This is a game that defined a genre and surely has inspired many others.

This soundtrack sounds awesome, the samples used were definitely high quality stuff and its dark tones and organ like instruments help giving that sense of epicness to every music, with the exceptional inclusion of some of the most memorable tunes from the older Castlevanias like Bloody Tears and Vampire Killer.

As always, the torrent download will be available shortly, so be sure to check the release thread from time to time.

Now, moving onto other news, we have great, awesome ones and a “bad” one.
Let’s start with the good ones: we have a new staff member, former forum member Truepack who volunteered to put his skills at our service by making proper covers for our releases and a cooler video template for our Youtube videos.
His works are amazing, you can check them out in the requests threads, he really deserves a “Bravo!” from all of us for his hard work and skills.

But that’s not all! There are several forum members that have written lengthy posts about some of the games we’ve released and they definitely deserve to be put somewhere where everyone can read them to satisfy their retrogaming needs.

So I’m announcing that soon we’re going to have a new part of the website’s project dedicated entirely to these posts and it will go under the name of…
FEATURED ARTICLES!!!!

Yeah, that’s right!
Do you think you have a great knowledge of a game that’s been released? Do you have Youtube videos of interviews with those that have designed the game and/or soundtrack? Do you have some “insider” information about a game that no one knows?
Well, now you can write these articles in the forum and if they’re considered worthy, they’ll make into the Featured Articles page of the website and maybe be on the front page!

And that’s it about the good news, now, onto the “bad” one… the project will be put to a stop for a month because I’ll be in the US, away from home, and will be unable to record whatsoever there.
I’ll still be checking the website and the forum from time to time, I’ll be back at the end of March and we’ll try to put out another release as soon as possible.
Sorry about this guys, hope you’ll patiently stay with us and I can assure you that your patience will be greatly rewarded. :]

That’s all folks!

With a total of 2 requests, today I present you our latest release: Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage!

There’s not much to say besides that the guitar samples of this soundtrack rocks! If you’re a fan of that distinct synthesized guitar sound that the MegaDrive/Genesis is able to reproduce you can’t miss this out!

Also, this time we’ve made an exception to the jingle rule and we’ve included the short themes of the super heroes as they are highly characteristic and, besides, without them the release would contain only 9 tracks, so we decided to make it beefier for you!

As always, head over the Media page to get it or wait some days as Haggar is already working on the torrents, so make sure to check the release thread from time to time!

As you all should know, torrents don’t seed by themselves :P

Haggar is seeding with his awesome connection almost 24/7 along with me and my meager connection (50 KB/s in upload) but that’s just not enough to feed your immense appetites of high quality retrogaming music and some users have been lamenting about slow download speeds and that’s something we really don’t want to hear as we worked tremendously hard to bring you the torrents and the last thing we want to see is a dead torrent without seeds or overburdened with leechers downloading at snail speeds.

As you know we put all the love we have to bring you those soundtracks, so, please, give something to us back: leave your torrent client open and seed our releases so that other people can enjoy them by downloading them at reasonable speeds.

And if you find yourself stuck with a slow torrent, remember that you can always snatch the tracks one by one, or altogether by using jDownloader, in our Media page: we’ll never let you down.

Thanks for reading and happy seeding!

With 3 request total, we’re proud to announce that the Streets of Rage Soundtrack has been released!

As a great Sonic fan I’ve always regarded Sonic’s soundtracks as the highest quality, but damn… the PCM samples in the streets of rage are plain awesome and the score is top notch. All in all I must say that if you really want to witness the quality of our rips, you MUST check this soundtrack out as it is the best sounding release we’ve done till now.

So head over our Media page to get it or check our forums in a few days for the torrent download as we’re working on it.

We’ll be (hopefully) putting out another release next week so stay tuned!
