<a href="https://pixelatedaudio.com/astyanax"></a>Today, we're looking back at Astyanax, an action platformer released for arcade and NES in 1989 and a game we both grew up playing. Sometimes referred to as "The Lord of King" or "The Astyanax", the original arcade game was developed by Aicom and published by Jaleco, with the NES version developed and published by Jaleco. Both versions share some similarities, like fighting hordes of mythological creatures, but the key difference for our show is they feature completely different soundtracks. We'll be focusing on the NES soundtrack written by Toshiko Tasaki with an occasional detour to the arcade original composed by Kiyoshi Yokoyama.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Composed by:<br /> <br /> NES: Toshiko Tasaki<br /> Arcade: Kiyoshi Yokoyama<br /> <br /> Tracklist<br /> <br /> 0:00:00 - Opening Story (NES)<br /> 0:00:21 - Title (NES)<br /> 0:6:08 - Introduction / Round 5 Cutscene (NES)<br /> 0:9:22 - Round 1 - Remlia Castle (NES)<br /> 0:18:53 - Stage 1 - In the Forest (Arcade)<br /> 0:23:03 - Boss Intro + Boss Theme (NES)<br /> 0:25:32 - Round 2 - Redroad Forest (NES)<br /> 0:31:49 - Round 2 Cutscene (NES)<br /> 0:35:47 - Round 3 Cutscene (NES)<br /> 0:36:36 - Round 4 - Marshy Swamp (NES)<br /> 0:45:19 - Round 4 Cutscene (NES)<br /> 0:46:20 - Round 5 - Telugamn Bridge (NES)<br /> 0:48:51 - Round 5 Cutscene (NES)<br /> 0:50:11 - Round 1 Cutscene / Round 6 / Last Boss (NES)<br /> 0:53:49 - Stage 3 - On the Lake (Arcade)<br /> 0:58:38 - Ending (Arcade)<br /> 1:02:39 - (Bedding) Name Entry (Arcade)<br /> 1:04:27 - Ending Story + The End (NES)

<a href="https://pixelatedaudio.com/blades-of-steel"><br /> </a><br /> <br /> In this installment of Pixelated Audio, we're taking a stroll through the soundtrack of Blades of Steel. Originally, Konami released this fact-action hockey game in the arcades in 1987 but it really gained popularity a year later when it was converted to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. However, most of us (at least your hosts) tend to forget that two sequels were released: NHL Blades of Steel '99 and NHL Blades of Steel 2000 which we’ve got some tunes from as well.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Composed by:<br /> <br /> Arcade/NES: Shinya Sakamoto, Kazuki Muraoka, Atsushi Fujio, Kiyohira Sada<br /> <br /> GameBoy: Hidehiro Funauchi, Akiko Itou<br /> <br /> GameBoy Color: Matt Simmonds<br /> <br /> Nintendo 64: Kazuhiko Uehara (sound producer), Nobuyuki Akena (sound director), Takahito Uenishi (SFX), Mitsuteru Furukawa (Sound programmer)<br /> <br /> PlayStation: Let us know!<br /> <br /> Tracklist<br /> <br /> 00:00:00 - Game Start / Warm Up (NES)<br /> 00:05:23 - Selection Theme (NES)<br /> 00:13:04 - Intermission (NES)<br /> 00:16:52 - Bonus Game Unused (NES)<br /> 00:17:26 - Bonus Game (Arcade)<br /> 00:18:16 - Won Finals (NES)<br /> 00:20:26 - Game End (NES)<br /> 00:21:50 - Team Selection (Arcade)<br /> 00:23:55 - Team Selection (Amiga)<br /> 00:25:26 - Game Start (DOS)<br /> 00:26:17 - Game Start (C64)<br /> 00:27:09 - BGM 1 (GB)<br /> 00:30:09 - BGM 2 (GB)<br /> 00:31:39 - BGM 3 (GB)<br /> 00:35:15 - BGM 8 (GB)<br /> 00:39:54 - BGM 1 (GBC) - NHL Blades of Steel<br /> 00:45:43 - BGM 2 (GBC) - NHL Blades of Steel<br /> 00:49:17 - BGM 4 (GBC) - NHL Blades of Steel<br /> 00:52:16 - Menu Music (N64) - NHL Blades of Steel 99<br /> 00:56:56 - BGM 3 (GBC) - NHL Blades of Steel 2000<br /> 01:00:23 - BGM 4 (GBC) - NHL Blades of Steel 2000<br /> 01:02:26 - BGM 6 (GBC) - NHL Blades of Steel 2000<br /> 01:04:52 - Menu 3 (PSX) - NHL Blades of Steel 2000<br /> 01:08:34 - Menu 4 (PSX) - NHL Blades of Steel 2000<br /> 01:15:57 - Ending (NES)
