:cool: Who think Genesis is the king of 16-bit music
:cool:
Although I'll admit that the SNES had a better sound chip, I'd argue that the Genesis had a greater quantity of cool memorable tunes. Sega also had Howard Drossin.
LOL. Here we go AGAIN!!!
yea, these "who thinks the genesis rules!?" or "genesis is the best console eva!" are true
but it just feels like spam threads after made SO MANY TIMES.
I mean, why are you asking such a question to a site that is DEDICATED to the console ffs
True weve had this before come to think ov it, i revoke my post!
I agree. Sega Genesis music rules all:
Seriously?Quote:

I was thinking the same. I enjoy Genesis music as much as the next person here, but I don't think some of these samples used so far are setting a good example.Quote:

Genesis has lots of fun games, but I find the audio of most of them to be just flat.
There are a few shining examples of where the developers really did something special with the hardware, Castlevania Bloodlines comes to mind as one of the Genesis's best sounding games. Its very atmopsheric and full of Oomph! And Capcom did a very good job of coming extremely close to getting the music in SFIICE sounding very arcade faithful. Tommy Tallarico's tunes in Robocop vs the Terminator are also excellent. The Genesis does great techno music, which that game is full of, but if you want a rich, orchestral sound(as orchestral as early 1990s audio hardware can get), the SNES wins hands down.
I have to agree with you there.
There are several genesis soundtracks that kick ass, But majority of em are average to below average quality.
Best sounding games? Castlevania's music is great because of the composition, but technically is far below what the Genesis can do. Heck, it doesn't even have any PCM percussion!Quote:

I think that Contra's music is one of the best examples of what you can do with Genesis, and probably can't on SNES.
On the other hand, orchestral music is top on SNES, I love Knights of the Round OST.
Yeah, Castlevania Bloodlines doesn't even use PSG iirc.
MD games have lot of good compositions but also a lot of crappy and tinny sounds. But there are games with great compositions and also with great sound.
