In this video, we play Star Ocean. This game is unique not only because of its soundtrack, but also because it is one of the two Super Nintendo games with the largest ROM size at 48 megabits (or 6 megabytes). The other game is Tales of Phantasia. The interesting thing is that both games were developed by mostly the same team. However, Star Ocean is unique because it actually uses a compression chip used to decode game data on the fly. That way, it can fit more data in the same 48 megabits compared to Tales of Phantasia. I guess technically, that means Star Ocean is the largest Super Nintendo game.

Expanding the "Real Hardware" audio recording series, I decided to do some Let's Play videos too, with emphasis on recording some of the notable music in the series!
