Episode 12 - They Can’t All Be Winners

Sometimes, a bad game has a good soundtrack. This episode is all about some terrific soundtracks from mediocre games.   You can find the archives of Kotaku’s Morning Music feature at https://kotaku.com/culture/morning-music, and you can find the article that helped inspire this episode (and introduced me to the Waterworld soundtrack) at https://kotaku.com/waterworld-is-one-of-the-snes-best-soundtrack-delivery-1847021569.    Special thanks to Josh Grisham of Nerd Informants for recording the promo for poison mushrooms.
