2020-05-081h 55Ed – THE VGMBASSYEpisode 53: NEO GEO CD
SNK’s Neo-Geo game platform was an absolute monster. Designed as an arcade system which allowed fans to purchase identical titles for their homes, it featured an enormous memory capacity, huge, colorful, and well-animated sprites, and some amazing music thanks to its robust YM2610 sound chip. All of this came at quite a cost though; in the US, gamers were faced with a $700 console and over $200 per game!
How did SNK try and increase their market share? By releasing the Neo-Geo CD, a new console with internals nearly identical to the cart-based version, but with games on far...

Ed – THE VGMBASSYEpisode 52: PICO-8 with The Diad
The PICO-8 is a fantasy console featuring a huge library of free games and a robust demoscene. It can be played on a wide variety of devices, and has built-in game development tools. So, just what the heck is a “fantasy console?” Think of it like an emulator for a system that never existed – developers create fully-featured games using a specific set of hardware limitations, and offer their products to the world at no charge. Many of these games have short but very pleasing soundtracks reminiscent of the Sega Master System or ZX Spectrum.
