Leave a comment

Aeon Genesis has completed their 10-year ROM translation project of Konami’s 8-bit NES sci-fi 1991 RPG Masterpiece Lagrange Point.

Lagrange Point is one of the most advanced NES games ever to come out. On a technical level, it uses Konami’s VRC7 sound chip to create FM synthesis on the original NES. The soundtrack has a character all its own and the FM Synths really lend themselves to the game’s space theme.

The Rokko Chan Soundtracks

Leave a comment

If you haven’t had a chance to play the awesomely deep and surprisingly difficult flash game Rokko Chan, based off the classic MegaMan series, now is the time. Rokko Chan is a fan-made MegaMan game, with key change: the protagonist is a girl. Battle robot masters, gain new abilities, jump, shoot and dash your way to victory. What’s cooler? An epic, 64 track soundtrack/arrangement album with an all-star lineup.

Names like USK, Derris-Kharlan, FantomenK, Inverse Phase, Descendants of Erdrick, Zef, and even myself with help from Spamtron all lended their talents to remixes of Asagen’s original soundtrack for the flash game. Directed by the team at Nubuwo, this mega-sized 64 track Name-Your-Price album is not to be missed. Rokko Chan Soundtracks
