For Music Monday this week I was lucky enough to interview the creator of the genius remix album, Ocarina of Rhyme, in which some of the most memorable music of the N64 era is smashed together with rhymes from some of the best MC’s around. The mind behind the album, TeamTeamwork, was nice enough to answer my questions, as well as providing an exclusive track not heard on the original album.

This week we are headed back in time to the early days of the Famicom Disk System in Japan with the 1986 release of Nazo no Murasame-jo, which Roughly translated is The Riddle of Murasame Castle. Coming on the heels of The Legend of Zelda, Murasame Castle, much like Kid Icarus is to Metroid, took the same style of play (top down overworld adventuring) but instead of having total freedom to move through the overworld switched to a linear format in which players had to defeat 4 castle bosses before the final showdown.
