Anyone remember way back in the dawn of Game Boy Color, how one could listen to the radio while walking around in Pokemon Gold Silver and Crystal?
Though it wasn't much of a selection, it was still something that I liked.
I often wondered how much more this could be implemented, not just in RPGs, but in any game (though some games do have soundtracks that sound a lot like you're listening to a radio station's pre-selected playlist).
Like, for example, I wanted to create a demo where one would turn on the radio, and boom, suddenly you're halfway into a Judas Priest song. I mean, to speak of the level of realism involved with radio stations, complete with jibber-jabber and station identifications.
In most of my fan fictions, there is one radio station that is more popular than others; it is 108.7 FM, The Blade. It plays rock, metal and alternative music mostly.
Anyway, I really am just asking of your thoughts on this. Yes, quite aware of the whole Copyright Infringement or Licensing Issues, which is why I said I wanted to create something like this because the concept is so under used it is sad.
