The Genesis had some Great music! I've always enjoyed the sound of the Genesis over the SNES ever since I was a kid. It's probably a nostalgic thing, but with sound tracks from such games as. Streets of Rage 1-3, Dune, Sub Terrania, Road Rash, Warriors of the Eternal Sun, Phantasy Star 2-4, Golden Axe 1&2, etc... Even with certain cross-platform games such as Ys III and Zombies Ate my Neighbors. I preferred the Genesis' soundtrack over the SNES'.Quote:

Yeah, the NES/SNES/Genesis had some great music that really brings back fond memories of playing video games when I was a kid. :nod:Quote:

Thought the first 2 golden axe games were awesome. The third one was garbage, and I daren't touch beast rider. I don't know how to put it, but I think there was an era of gaming where the music really defined it. After the Ps2/xbox it became very generic except for a few exceptionsQuote:

Yeah, once CD-ROMs were introduced and "CD Quality" sound was the norm. It all kind of became a bit generic. It mostly lacked the heart of the old 8/16-bit chiptunes of the era. With certain exceptions like you said though.Quote:

Really like the death adder one. If they actually gave a fuck they could make a fantastic remake. I would get it in a second. I don't know if they would use the music you quoted, but the death adder track had the right idea as far as I'm concerned, I like how the pace changed. That would be awesome for a boss fight.Quote:

I tend to prefer Genesis soundtracks too. The SNES sound chip was amazing but it was severely handicapped by the lack of space on cartridges. FM synthesis done right will always sound better than low bitrate samples.Quote:
