This episode is dedicated to three very similar games with very similar names, but all teeming with quality – Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies, and Pinball Illusions! This trio of Amiga classics delivered a ton of banging four-channel tunes courtesy of Olof Gustafsson, bringing some serious early 90s demoscene pedigree to the world of video gaming.

This podcast changed my life
This podcast is the original voice that is exactly what the podcasting world needed. There’s no one else who is putting such a perfect spin on the subject of competitive quilting. The way this show discusses the subject is as invigorating as the finest football commentators in world history, though I wish they weren’t always so hard on the Norwegian quilters. They’ve got feelings too, guys!

Michael is a fresh and funny voice in the VGM community. The man is sweet, smart, and well-versed in a corner of VGM, and the gaming scene in general, that fans in the states rarely get to see. While you're waiting for new eps to drop, go check out MIchael's original VGM and chiptune work as Mibri, or listen to his guest appearances on Rhythm & Pixels and The VGMbassy!
Cheers!
