89 - The Road SNES Traveled

Check out the new RPGFan Shop!

Look out, you podcasters! It’s an extended ROBERT FROST REFERENCE. But at least it describes this episode.

Several games in an afternoon,
And sorry I could not play them all
And be one gamer, long I paused
And stared one down, to start it soon
Noting its lauded soundtrack’s call;

Then took the other, music less represented
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it’s novel and less frequently mentioned;
As for inspiring podcast discourse
Both are worthy, one a less familiar refrain,

This quandary before our panel lay
Each panelist with the SNES catalogue in full display
Oh, keep Chrono and FFVI for another day!
Yet knowing how each episode has its life,
We step boldly onward without looking back.

We’ll be fielding questions with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Yes, there is excellent music that is not here, and we–
We’re taking the road SNES traveled by,
And for this episode, that has made all the difference.

Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff, Michael Sollosi, Greg Delmage; Edited by Jono Logan
