OK, now we're up and running. I had to delay this a bit thanks to the technical difficulties of the boards. I hope one day that will be a thing of the past. Well, we march on as we continue this little party. When this is all said and done, we might have ourselves the ultimate TPWW-approved playlist of top video game tracks. Last week, Guile's Stage Theme from Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo had some love, enough to earn it a solid 8.25 score.

Now let's move on to bigger and better things. How about another round of 2D, but with some more action poured on top? With an even bigger retro vibe? Let's go back to the 8-bit era with the sequel to Castlevania, Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest and its ditty, Bloody Tears! Has this tune become iconic in your mind? Does it deserve such a standing? Let's hash it out and we'll see you next week.

Bloody Tears is a personal favorite of mine. I think as a whole Simon's Quest is hugely underrated and largely panned due to its abysmal localization but even its bigger detractors cant criticize the OST.

The OST for CV2 is top tier.not just for the franchise but gaming. And Bloody Tears sits way at the top of why its so good. Tons of outrageously good orchestrated and metal covers of this track that really highlights how incredible the composition is.

It's so good i dont want a CV that doesnt have it.
