Thanks guys! Really appreciate all the praise here. I've sacrificed most of my weekends for these, so if you can think of new places to spread the word and support this project, that would be really appreciated. I know there is a larger audience for these than what we've gotten so far. Social media is not my strong suit.
When I was recording the story dialogue for the Riding Hero vid, my wife was like, "Ummm.. whaaat are you doing?" But then she watched the video and was like, "OHH, okay. I get it now."
About the FM sound, I've been playing ASOII lately, and the cheerful menu music gets in your head. Love the mood of this game. However, back around '93-94 when I probably would have had a chance to first play it, I don't think I would have been impressed by the FM music. I was much more into the presentation of, say, Axelay on SNES, with its graphics, music and voices. Of course, newer shooters on the Neo have fancier presentation and more sound samples.
