In this episode of Tubby Talk, Terry, Steve, and Chris take a deep dive into their favorite gaming music and the real-world bands it came to inspire. There's a little bit of group therapy during a discussion on emotional end credit themes, followed by an exploration of the chiptune and video game cover scene. The episode is capped off with a little game of "guess that tune I'm humming poorly".

Bands discussed include: Tanguy Ukulele Orchestra, Smooth McGroove, The Megas, The Minibosses, Arm Cannon, Mega Ran, XOC, and Kirby's Dream Band.

Magic Sword

Capcom's 1990 title Magic Sword is a side-scrolling action platformer that takes place in a medieval fantasy setting. Players are tasked with ascending the 50-floor tower of the evil lord Drokmar, hacking through monsters with every step. The implementation of a stamina meter that determines your attack's strength and a variety of power-up items allow the game to be both fun and surprisingly deep.
