Most Influential Hour 2
This episode's topic is the most influential 8bit game.
This hour we discuss sports games & beat em ups.
Of course we feature the music from those games & lots of OCremixes as well as some Dwelling Of Duels songs (DOD)!
Download Hour 2
Note: This episode is 192kbs instead of 128kbs due to the 8bit music. If the episode was saved in 128kbs there tends to be distortion of the classic music, which we cannot have.

Notes: Loyal listener Kevin had a meltdown on the air, listen here.
Music: If the games weren't enough the music from this hour was epic as well. We had some DOD providing some Donkey Kong Country, and also on the Super Metroid songs as well. OC Remix came through with more Donkey Kong Country songs for enjoyment, check out their Kong in Concert album from ocremix.org. (FREE)
Quick Block Analysis: Very glad to see Metroid exact revenge on Smash TV from the 8bit Tournament. The cool thing about the XMEN game we learned that hitting the reset button just right beats the game! Imagine you figure that out but press the Reset button normally and reset your game, heartbreaking! No real surprizes at this point in the block......

16Bit Tourney: Block 3 Hour 2
After that it was a heated battle to get revenge on the host as Super Double Dragon nearly defeated Street Fighter II!! I flipped out and had some harsh words for the audience and then Street Fighter II moved on by 1 vote!! Ridiculous that it came down to that.
Music: Ken Griffey Jr's music as well as some sound effect from batters being struck out, Orchestrated Simcity music which was really nice, nearly every Super Castlevania IV OC Remix & some GOAT from Castlevania 3, but it's because GOAT rules.
Quick Block Analysis: I have some animosity towards the audience's trend to not vote with their hearts, but vote to get revenge. The battle lines have been drawn and it's only going to get worse from here.
Next week I offer an ultimatium to the audience.

Ken Griffey Jr Presents MLB vs SimCity*

*Will Flips out on voters
Final:
Street Fighter II vs Super Castlevania IV
I didn't give Super Double Dragon it's proper respect
Notes: This hour had our first ever dope-rule of the 16bit tournament! Ken Griffey Jr was on the verge of elimination and then the doperule went into effect, eliminating the classic SimCity from contention.Super Castlevania IV vs Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing
