PlayerPandemonium (A Video Game Audio Blog‪)‬ PlayerPandemonium

After over a year, The PlayerPandemonium audio blog is BACK! And what better way to officially kick off season 2 than with a buffet of Kirby. Late in the Super Nintendo's life cycle, Nintendo released Kirby Super Star. It's advertised as 8 games in one, but will this game fill even a Kirby size appetite? 

In 1993 Midway released NBA JAM, A legendary arcade style sports game. Later Midway would release a hockey and football equivalent of JAM. However, there was never a baseball style game like this. But what if I told you there was one in development at one point? In the season 2 premiere of my audio blog, I talk about the unreleased arcade baseball game, Power-Up Baseball.

The Legend of Zelda recently had it's 35th Anniversary and I thought why don't I talk about 35 songs to celebrate the occasion? Keep in mind this is NOT a top 35 or a list of personal favorites, theses are 35 songs I talk about and why I love the songs I picked.

Metal Gear Solid when released in 1998 (I said 97 in the video, oops) revolutionized and proved that great story and narratives can work in a video game. Metal Gear Solid became an instant classic when it was released as it brought the idea of stealth into mainstream gaming. Metal Gear Solid has its fair share of epic boss fights but one boss fight stands out more than the others in Psycho Mantis. In this episode I talk about how Mantis not only tests you in the world of Metal Gear Solid, but in reality as well.

Back in the 90s, everyone wanted to make a mascot platformer to rival Mario and Sonic. However with the mass amount of them, there's bound to some that fall pass the cracks. Dynamite Headdy might be one of the greatest SEGA Genesis/Megadrive games you've never played.

In the peak of the video game home system wars of the 90s, Nintendo wanted to reboot one of their icons in Donkey Kong and they decided to team up with a new British studio known as Rare that had the technology to make fully rendered graphics to make such a game. The game ended up being Donkey Kong Country, that ended up becoming a trilogy. In this audio essay I talk about each of the 3 Donkey Kong Country gamed that were released on the Super Nintendo.
