Retrobeats Episode 5 | RetroBeats | Forum

Man, I love me some RetroBeats! ^^

One small nitpick, though: About the title "Herzog Zwei"… Zwei is actually the German word for "two", and it's pronounced z-why (so it rhymes with "eye").

Also, this might make me sound super lame and stuff, but… is it just me, or does the very beginning of the Lufia 2-song sound like the transformation-theme for Sailor Moon? Yeah, I know it's probably super freaking dumb to even bring up something like that here, but… that's what I immediately thought of! XD

It's not that lame man, I have to play Sailor Moon with my four year old as she's a fanatic… so until you've run around the house pretending to be Queen Beryl I>you on the lame scale.  Also Herzog Zwei is awesome…

Thanks for those kind words… but if you are a family man, then you most certainly < me on the lame scale! XP

Why do people prefer to themselves as lame for being nerdy?  It isn't lame…it's nerdy. lol  And ain't nothin' wrong with that!  Everyone in this world is a nerd over something…whether it be decorating, cars, mixed martial-arts, football, etc. etc.

Gaming, anime, manga, and all that jazz is just a part of being nerdy.  No problem with that at all. =-)

As always, an awesome retrobeats, and happy to see Derek hasn't forgotten about this awesomeness.  Thank you sir for making work go by quicker and introducing me to many great video game tunes.  Job well done.

Touché, my double-posting friend! ^^

Great episode! Glad at least one of my requests got there and hopefully a one or a few of my others get on the next one! Also what I think is an easier way to get NES music is to download DVD Video Soft's Youtube to MP3 and download the sound file from uploaded game soundtracks. And I liked Megaman 4, Startropics 2 and Battletoads Most people do so can't consider them bad games but to each their own. Can't wait till the next one!

I thought Megaman 4 was okay as well (but not the best), Startropics 2…I've yet to play since I am currently on the first one (I can't judge a game I've never played). Battletoads is good but HARD AS HELL!

All suck. Emulated or not. lol jk
Mega Man 4 is whatever…it's a Mega Man game.  I don't understand what people expect from MM4,5, & 6.  They're Mega Man games.  Not sure why people hate'em so much.

Startropics 2 isn't bad, it just isn't as good as the 1st game.

But I do agree that Battletoads is balls.  Hate that game. lol 

I agree I don't know why all the hate towards anything that is not Megaman 2 or 3. I love them all (I'd put them all at least above an 8.5), and I consider 2, 3 and 4 the prime trilogy in the Classic Series. 

I kind of liked Startropics 2 over the first because the grid-locked gameplay took me a good while to get used too and I found it a bit too difficult even though I got far in it, but I can see why people like 1 over 2. I like 'em both.

As for Battletoads I got to Volkmeir's Inferno was the farthest I did get, anybody else? (It's not AS hard with some practice)
