In this episode we’re discussing the first release in a beloved, classic Playstation franchise - Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus! Released on September 23 of 2002, Sly Cooper blended stealth with action platforming with a cell-shaded graphical style and followed Sly and his two partners Bentley the turtle and Murray the hippo in their quest to liberate the titular Thievius Racoonus - a fabled book, and also a family heirloom of Sly’s that chronicled all of the thieving skills of his ancestors - from the evil group the Fiendish Five.

Each of the game’s five worlds revolves around one of the Fiendish Five and features a selection of levels that range from traditional platforming to other activities like racing or piloting a variety of other vehicles. Spread throughout the levels are also a series of collectibles like the traditional coins which grant an extra life for every 100 collected, or “clues” which are represented by glass bottles scattered throughout each level, and once all are found grant Sly the ability to open a vault found somewhere in that level to receive a single page torn from the Thievius Racoonus, granting him a new ability.

This week we introduce a new style of episode, the Music Box! In these episodes we will discuss the music of video games based on specific topics. And to kick things off, we’re talking about Opening Level themes, or the “Level 1” theme, to be a little more precise. Not to be confused with the game’s Opening Theme, the “Level 1” theme is often the first track you hear upon gaining control of your character in a game. We’ve each picked a selection of favorites to discuss today!

Last year we introduced the Indie Sample Pack, a type of episode where the three of us pick an indie game for the group to play, and we discuss our thoughts on the games based on early impressions. These are not full reviews, but rather initial thoughts based on the early hours of gameplay in each game. In these episodes we hope to give you some fun indie recommendations because, let’s be honest, everyone could stand to play some more indies! And with the summer on the horizon and game releases slowing down for a few months, what better time than now to check some out?

The games in question this time around are the Mega Man-inspired roguelite 20XX, the amphibious rhythm game Tadpole Treble, and the love letter to classic JRPGs Sea of Stars!
