Preorders Open for Totally Rad Official Vinyl Soundtrack

Posted on by Owen

Respawned Records, in partnership with Retro‐Bit, has unveiled a limited edition release that promises to excite both collectors and retro gaming enthusiasts. The new offering – the “Totally Rad Official Vinyl Soundtrack” – revisits the distinctive 8‐bit soundscape of the classic 1991 NES game, Totally Rad, celebrated for its dynamic chiptune compositions and high-energy melodies.

The record is pressed on neon‐yellow vinyl adorned with magenta, orange and green splatters, a design choice that mirrors the game’s vibrant, California‐cool aesthetic. Encased in a high-gloss jacket featuring artwork inspired by the surreal visual style of the game, the release is as much a visual statement as it is an auditory one. Each copy is individually numbered, underlining its status as a collector’s item and ensuring that no two records are identical.

Pre-orders for the soundtrack are now open, with the preorder window set to close on 22 March. Following this period, full production will commence, with shipping expected to begin in June 2025. At a price of $29.99, the record is positioned as an accessible yet exclusive addition for fans of both vinyl and the retro gaming era.

This release is being hailed as a significant nod to the preservation of video game history, capturing the unique spirit of early NES titles through modern production techniques. Music aficionados and collectors alike are invited to secure their piece of nostalgia before the limited run sells out, ensuring that the legacy of Totally Rad is enshrined in both sound and style.

The Meating: Special Edition Glow-in-the-Dark Shell Looks 🔥

Posted on by Owen

If you love a cheeky twist on classic horror, Mega Cat Studios has you covered with The Meating, a retro-style comedic horror experience that’s as colourful as it is silly. The big news? A limited-edition cartridge that actually glows in the dark, giving your game shelf a delightful (yet slightly eerie) glow when the lights go out. It’s a small touch, but it really brings out the playful vibe of The Meating’s tongue-in-cheek storyline.

Speaking of story, The Meating doesn’t hold back on laughs or scares. It’s designed for actual retro hardware—so if you’ve still got that trusty old console, you’re in for a proper throwback. The plot, without spoiling too much, revolves around a hodgepodge of comedic horror elements that’ll have you raising an eyebrow one moment and laughing out loud the next. Early adopters have described it as a perfect late-night choice, especially if you like the vibe of cult horror flicks.

And then there’s the packaging. The glow-in-the-dark shell isn’t the only thing that sets this release apart. Each limited-edition set comes with a premium slipcover, a fully illustrated manual, and a collector’s box that completes the retro aesthetic. It’s the sort of attention to detail that turns a novelty item into a standout piece. Whether you’re a serious collector or just someone who loves a fresh spin on old-school gaming, The Meating promises a quirky experience topped with a fair share of memorable moments.

Mega Cat Studios prides itself on delivering not just a game, but a whole experience that celebrates vintage design. If you’re itching to add something delightfully offbeat to your collection, this might just be it.

You can find the cartridge on the Mega Cat Studios website for $150 / £124 / €145.95.
