mbd30 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 It makes the last stage of "Streets of Rage 2" relaxing to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Streets of Rage 2 is great all around period! My second favorite Genesis game of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegadot Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Streets of Rage 2 is great all around period! My second favorite Genesis game of all time. Well now I'm curious what beat it out. After popping over to ebay I was disappointed to see a game that was so common among my peers that it may as well have come in breakfast cereal is trending around 25 bones.

BillyHW Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Too bad more Genesis games didn't have sound like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Really boring, but otherwise a very passable tune for the system. It sounds like they really tried hard to keep peoples' ears from bleeding. Much better than the harsh 'honk, bong, tinkle-tinkle, blat' soundtrack I generally associate with the system.

Kiwi Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I would say this one Voltage Algorithm from Pulseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Streets of Rage 2 is great all around period! My second favorite Genesis game of all time. It's an incredibly addictive game. Today I beat it for the first time with Max. Not much of an accomplishment, but I only recently started using Max instead of Axel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Eh, that Streets of Rage II song is supposed to build tension before the last big fight. I think this one's more mellow... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEGs93LxGCQ The music in this game is so good. You don't even know. The guy who made it went on to do the soundtrack for Final Fantasy Tactics and found Basiscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I've always been fond of some of Light Crusader's quieter moments: And especially this one: This track from the last level of World of Illusion is also nice: And this bit of unexpected sparseness in Cosmic Spacehead comes out of nowhere: Apropos that GTA pause music, I love it when games have special pause themes. Astérix and the Great Rescue, a game most people hated (I kind of liked it), had a great soundtrack overall and a nice pause tune that was easy to overlook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlUyV2v-Pbk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to go with Sonic 2 as my number 1 favorite. I got my Genesis in 1993 and the first two Sonics and Streets of Rage 2 were my first games for the system. Used to be up countless hours on weekends and during breaks playing them non stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-ti2_KZr-Q 20 years later there's still something magical about this series 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I totally forgot about Ecco the Dolphin, it been about 2 years I heard the sound track. Good choice!! I do like this one, Fin to Feather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentlegamer Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Genesis FM music done right is some of the best ever. Good call on Light Crusader, one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Ecco always sends a little shiver down my spine. The opening music for the into animation is so much like the intro to part 1 of Shine On You Crazy Diamond; I love Pink Floyd, I love that song, and hearing it sound like it's about to come out of my Genesis, I think, will always give me that goosebumpy/walked over my grave feeling. SoR2's Final Round music is pretty good, But I liked it better the first time I heard it in Golden Axe II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJJVmXI8gHE Skip ahead to 27:30. Thats the music from the closing credits after you beat Dark Guld. I'll admit it's not EXACTLY the same, some difference musically and the overall quality sounds scratchier than the SoR2 rendition. But still... to use virtually the same song at the end of 2 different games that are both Sega Franchise Beat-Em-Up sequels? I'll never understand all the general distaste of the Genesis sound. Maybe the complainers aren't quite so numerous, rather are just louder broken records than the praisers are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
