I'm interested in #art, #audio, #musicproduction and #gamedev among other things. Looking forward to see familiar and new faces here, feel free to ask anything!
🎮🐱 The Atari Lynx (Lynx II in the photo) is the first portable console with a color screen from 1989. Like many others, it unsuccessfully attempted to compete with the Game Boy, even though it has several advantages over it:
🌈 Backlit 4096-color LCD with a resolution of 160×102.
💥 A special chip for hardware-accelerated graphical effects.
👈 Left-handed mode.
:zerotwo_wow: Here's a second video in the span of 3 days! This time, it's the Gen 1 opening from the Pokemon game series which is short, sweet, energetic, and bloody fun to play :charmander_yay:
I've added an extra touch or two in the video editing phase this time and I'd be curious to hear how people like or dislike them (along with, as always, any input about the audio). It feels like I'm learning just a few little things about editing with each video I put out, and I'm hoping that I can stick with it and get steady progress (unlike the first years of my channel, I'm using the same software (DaVinci Resolve) for a bunch of videos in a row so I can actually build some skills :blobfox_laugh_sweat:
As always, boosting helps a ton, and if you like my music, please consider donating :leafeon_money: so that I can take care of my violin (and my body, but the violin comes first :leafeon_giggle: )

:ablobcatheadphones: The BBC has this really cool program "The Sound of Gaming" about gaming soundtracks and #VGM expertly presented by Elle Osili-Wood. Every episode is exploring a different topic - Elle’s guest in this week is composer Petri Alanko who talks about his music for #AlanWake2 and the series.
All 48 previous episodes can be downloaded or you can subscribe to the podcast or RSS feed here:
I haven't seen a theme yet for @miona's #VGMWednesday, so as I forgot to post something for #BonusBeats last week, I'll do that this week.
But instead, I'll be bonus stage adjacent cause...I'm weird.
When you plug non-Sonic games into Sonic & Knuckles, you'll be able to play a random Bonus Stage from the main game. If you put in Sonic 1, you can do all of them. But first, a "No Way" screen pops up with some fun music. Here's that music and screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zILpjFqlOak
Legend of Kyrandia (OST, adlib and hig quality FLAC version) is one of the earlier point and click adventures that I loved playing as a kid - allthough it was quite difficult without the internet 😄
Emerald Room is very relaxing https://youtu.be/ymTioBu2_Hk?feature=shared&t=2767
Also great: Timbermist Woods, Pool of Sorrow, Caves and more
Last week reminded me of some of the classic @ocremix tracks I used to listen to.
Here is Estradasphere's big band inspire remake of Super Mario Brothers 2's overworld music entitled, "Super Buck II." https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00577
This past weekend, we stopped at a tiny arcade at the hotel I stayed at with the family. They have one of the two greatest arcade games of all time - Ms. Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat II.
Don't argue with me...that's totally a fact.
Regardless, as the main screens cycled through I took this picture. There was a screen that showed up with details on how to order the soundtrack as well as two different Mortal Kombat comic books back when this dropped in 1993.
I wonder...do you think that's still valid? And if not, do you think there's folks out there who still have copies of these comics / the CD? Cause...I kind of want them.
Also, who stood around in an arcade in 1993 with a pen and paper to write down all this information? Cause I want to meet those people too...
