Gah.
30 Days of Videogames - Day 8
Best Soundtrack
Man, this one's a split. Vampire Butt Rock or Kaiju Picnic Pop?
Akumajo Dracula X: Rondo of Blood
(PC Engine)
So for the longest time I had a backup* copy of Rondo of Blood, but obviously lacked an imported PC Engine to run it. After a few failed attempts to get it running with the resources available to me, I'd more or less relegated it to the burned CD coaster pile, till I realized that the disc itself was organized into CD tracks.
So, in a fit of boredom, I threw it into a player, and after a quick "Hey! This is a game CD. don't play the data track" warning, found the entire soundtrack to the game. This was a new and strange concept to me, which renewed my drive to find a way to play the damn thing.
* - hey, I bought Dracula X Chronicles! It's a valid statement (now)!
Not too long after that I got my hands on a Playstation, regular access to a TV (ah, post-dorm life) and a $10 used copy of Symphony of the Night, and my obsession with Castlevania music was truly underway.
Honorable mention, because it's stuck in my head now and I want to share the earworm. Also, Pizzicato Five shoutout hey :D
