Itâs almost amazing that after all these years, this show has never covered a Double Dragon game. Itâs finally time to correct that as Matt and Kris spend some quality time with the short but spectacular soundtrack of the NES version of the original Double Dragon.

As has become tradition around here at the WaveBack podcast, every October Matt and Kris focus on the music of a different Castlevania game in chronological order. This time theyâre cracking their whips at an often overlooked entry in Konamiâs classic vampire killing franchise, and one that didnât find its way to North America until well after its initial release overseas. Watch out for trees being struck by lightning because tonight they listen to the music of Akumajo Dracula for the Sharp X68000.

Matt and Kris proudly present the return of the WaveBack Awards, featuring the best of the best in VGM from 2022.
The intro music for this episode was Cyclic Oscillations from Super Mega Zero by DDRKirby. Our team tragically overlooked this game until it was too late, so it unfortunately wasnât given any considerations for this yearâs awards. Itâs a phenomenal soundtrack though, so weâve linked to it here. Super Mega Zero by DDRKirby
