Castlevania is definitely a big influence for me. I especially love those ones on the DS! But since Ben's game has already come out, I've decided to just keep this as a portforlio piece as an example of this kind of song.
Looks like an awesome book! Sooner or later I'm going to play these games. Thankfully, I have them both now. Too bad more games don't use this great watercoler style.
Wow, this sounds great! I have copies of 999 and Virtue's Last Reward that still need playing, though, so I'll hold off getting it. And maybe, like VLR, it will shop up on PS+ 
Indeed! Especially with the low barrier of the entry for the App Store.
Glad you liked it
Pot Hocket has several more on OCR. You should check them out.
Oh goodness, going to sleep at 8. That sounds amazing. I'm honestly jealous lol
Ah, Acclaim. Haven't seen that name in a long time. I always think of Extreme G when I see that logo.
My only experience with Turok was playing the original at a friend's house with a bunch of cheat codes on. There's one point where you go in a cave and see tons of bodies hanging from the ceiling before you fight a big T-rex. But the codes to give them big heads and make them dance kind of ruined the scary atmosphere lol.
Good show, guys! I've never pirated a new game but I've emulated my share of old ones. I tried out games like Commander Keen, Rise of the Triad, and the original WarCraft (man, have RTSes come a long way!). I probably still have a folder with games like that on my computer somewhere but I have done anything like that since college. I never did get into emulating consoles, even though I prefer console games. Never felt right without a controller. I think emulation is really important for historical and preservation purposes, but it gets pretty shady if you just play for fun. I love physcal media anyway, so I'd rather play on the original consoles.
But speaking of pirate games, don't forget to play Pirate Code! It's a great turn-based strategy game and has such wonderful music 
You can download it here.
Amoebattle looks like the RTS games that came out for the DS, like Lost Magic or Heroes of Mana.
