Steven Pendleton Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 It's been like a year and a half since I played it, but I remember Arrow Flash having some decent music. Too bad the game itself is rather boring. Going back to Toaplan, Kyuukyoku Tiger also has some really cool music, as well (all versions do, though. What an incredible soundtrack! Challenge -> Break a Leg!, Tsugaru, Our Life... everything is great, which is why I bought the soundtrack!), and so does Daisenpuu. Need to go pick up those and V-V soon so I can complete my Mega Drive/Genesis Toaplan shooting collection. I'll likely never get every Toaplan game on the system thanks to the outrageous price of Snow Bros., though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the good ones have some poor sound choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I ever made it beyond stage 3 since the game is unbelievably boring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazball Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 The Adventures of Batman & Robin has some incredible (techno) intro music. My favorite music is from Phantasy Star II. The intro is spine-tingling for me, but I love all the tunes - very nostalgic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 The original Batman game from Sunsoft has my favorite game soundtrack of all time. Every track is a banger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Did we miss Gaiares? I used to listen to this with the bass cranked up and simulated surround sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I'm taking my first play into Phantasy Star IV so far, and I'm liking the music, not the usual Genesis score, both for lack of the tinny audio but also just not the usual riffs you commonly hear in a lot of things so it's kind of nice.

roots.genoa Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I prefer the soundtrack of the first Streets of Rage (less trance stuff), even though I prefer the sequel as a whole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I discovered a new game today, not so sure it fits here 100% unless someone is more familiar but I had to point it out. Task Force Harrier EX. I don't think I have ever heard from a commercial product a more clear, clean, and crisp sounding set of voice samples. While I don't know (do you?) if the music is all that memorable or remarkable, but it also had that same odd clarity to the music (and sfx too) largely lacking in many Genesis/MD games unfortunately so it was quite refreshing. Sega Retro claims there's a singing track, I can't find it, even skimmed a youtube video before submitting this and it never came up. The game is fairly chatty around the start/end and boss in-outro bits so you can check that clarity at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not sure what they're smoking, maybe a Japanese version? Their dumpy wannabe wikipedia like page on sega retro claims it exists, I can't find it, and they don't cite the sentence anywhere with proof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smith Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I remember buying Super Hydlide in the summer of 1990 and being blown away by the quality and variety of its soundtrack. It seemed leaps and bounds better than most of the 1989 era releases. Tis a shame that the visuals were so poor (literally a direct port from the original release on some Japanese computer - MSX perhaps?).

RuySan Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Even though the Amiga version has better music, Mega Turrican has an incredible soundtrack. Chris Hueslbeck is easily my favourite video game music composer of all time. Gleylancer and Castlevania Bloodlines are among my favourite soundtracks of the system. I love Golden Axe music, but the Megadrive port sound sounds a bit limp. Someone should mod the Amiga music over the Megadrive or Arcade original game for the ultimate version of the game.

Yakumo1975 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 It's time for almost an hour of more great sounding Mega Drive / Genesis music tracks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap! Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 It might not be my favorite, but "Step Up" in Phantasy Star II is incredibly catchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
