Genesis games with best music

[Joe Redifer]

Socket was good until your life became low, then it was ANNOYING LIKE NO OTHER!

Sonic 2-Emeral Hill Zone. Sometimes I just load Sonic up to listen to that. It might be just because I was bombarded with the music from the first level a million times when I was a kid, but I love it and it makes me happy so screw you guys.

[Joe Redifer]

I will hereby consider myself screwed.

I like the music for these games
Lightening Force
Super Hydlide
Shinobi III
Ranger X
Vapor Trail
Batman: The Video Game
Battletoads
Road Rash

I like the synthesized music of the Genesis better than the SNES.

Hell yeah,Thunder force and the rest stay un defeatable,no fanboyism but mostly people drag about the limitation that the genesis sound chip brings,they bring this Bulshit upp,its so untreu remember that the genesis can do 10 channels simultaineously inc fm channels.and snes 8.the drum is a con on the MD but the guitars and bass is pulling harder therefor.

Rockman Mega World (Nice remixes imho)

I agree. That soundtrack is underrated.

rockman=megaman willy wars ,Right?. i had that game but found it not great or special back then so i sold it for 5 euros and now is almost to damn rare,its still a nice game but i didnt really enjoyd cause i didnt give myself the time for that.

[Zebbe]

Yeah, the soundtrack for Mega Man: Wily Wars is great. Or the soundtracks, especially the ones from Mega Man 2 and 3, and the song of the water level in the Wily's Tower mini game.

actually sounds like a fun game,but the music didnt really intrest me,bitsy like the nes versions only with typical genesis bleeps,maybe youre right but i just cant imagin that then,sorry.Ill hope i can buy it for a small price.

is it me or can genesis do 12 channeld music.With the extra pcm,s our something,I read somwhere that mastersystem can do 9 is that treu?

[Shaiming Long]

I'm being somewhat crazy here joining just to have my little say in this post, but I found that the music in Alisia Dragoon to be pretty good.
I do agree with many of the other said games, but it seems that I'm the only one who really cared for the music in this game.
To get the best from it you'd have to play it as on some levels the music changes and I've never found a music download that includes the changes and the in game soundtest doesn't either.
I always had a soft spot for the old console music, I can remember Ultima IV, Phantasy Star 1, III and End of the Millenium's music to this day really well.
Well that be my say and I'll hopefully remember to check back here now I'm a member.

The Genesis has 10 channels:

6 FM
3 PSG
1 PCM

I believe all of them can do stereo, but only left or right at a time (or center/mono). That means if you hear different sounds coming from your left and right speakers at the same time, it is taking at least two channels to make those sounds.

Master System has 3 PSG channels.

[GeckoYamori]

1 FM channel has to be sacrificed for sample playback. And I'm pretty sure PSG had 4 channels.
