BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast

Spotlight: LIVE A LIVE (SNES Version)

Bonus Episode #24 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. This week on the show, Bryan from RPGera presents a sister episode to #246 released on August 6 where Bedroth and I focused on the wonderfully recomposed score to LIVE A LIVE HD-2D Remake on the Nintendo Switch. For this bonus episode, the first bonus show we've done in over two years, we've decided to do the exact same tracks, in the exact same order, except this time, we're spotlighting the Super Famicom version of the music released back in 1994 for LIVE A LIVE! Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, whatever you want really! Special thanks to our Executive Producers: Jexak & Xancu.
