Hole Chaser Remastered OST PC-88 OPNA+OPN Versions ホールチェイサー Masahiro Kajihara Father of PC-98 Music
18Masahiro Kajihara was the creator of the PMD driver that became the backbone behind a huge amount of PC-98 music, allowing for music to be written and played back in a high quality and consistent way. For example, games that do not use a high quality driver can be difficult for the game programmers to even implement the music, and the music may skip or slow down/speed up/skip while you are playing the game.
Masahiro has been active in interacting with community over the years and still maintains a website with lots of useful information for hobbyists: https://sites.google.com/site/kajapon/
Masahiro Kajihara is known for Princess Maker series, Valis 2, Grounseed, and of course the Rusty soundtrack. He was also living with Ryu Umemoto and of course they must have influenced each other a lot.
This game was fully programmed by him (and he started as a programmer), it is a sort of bizarre physics puzzle game with adult theming layered on it. The name is a bit of a meme but the music behind this game is high powered some of it also being featured on music disk compilations which were released in the same time period. The gameplay feels like an old Atari 2600 game or kind of like Asteroids, but more than the game the music has a legacy now.
