In this episode, Brent and Rob focus on video game music tracks which are absolutely no longer than 15 seconds. Ironically, this ends up being one of the Legacy Music Hour‘s longest episodes. Brent and Rob are also joined by an unannounced and unexpected guest. A very big and flighty guest, in fact. A wide variety of consoles are covered, consoles including the Sega Master System, Game Gear, and TurboGrafx-16. And finally, there seems to be a strong theme of nostalgia in this episode which is discussed and heard throughout the music. A long, nostalgic journey through a wonderful selection of “micro songs”. Full track listing below.
