The Legacy Music Hour #69: Fighting Games, Round 2

    Yu Yu Hakusho’s unbalanced kiss was an ending song for the anime http://youtu.be/BbamMcg-vJE

    There were some great fighters, or at least soundtracks on fighters, on the PC Engine in Japan. Missed opportunity, guys. Also, the Neo Geo. The original King of Fighters (’94) had a fantastic soundtrack, as did Art of Fighting.

    That ” Reminiscence” track reminds me of the intro to Jerry Horkheimer’s Star Gazer segments on PBS. So I reminisced through reminiscence. Thanks
