Genesis games with best music

[Germ]

Check out Battle Mania 2 for you metal heads out there. I reccommend you have a listen to a track named "Hachinaki Please" (don't let the name put you off, all the track names are silly) i definitly stopped and took notice of this one, it was one of those songs played between a round but you can get it in options menu.

Actually Gecko is right. One of the FM channels doubles as a PCM. There are 3 PSG channels and 1 noise channel (running water/crowd sounds/static, etc). Still that makes 10 channels.

Yup one White noice channel(also used in former Mobiles)that makes a total of 10,i know some games that really use them

TF4
Batman and robin,Those games sound terrific,still this day i recorded the TF4 tracks and for you synth,Techno heads Batman and robin.Alisia draggon sound pretty harmonic pretty clean,very good game.Yup i know battle mania 2 i have the game,Hachichinki please or something nahh the game has good music but i found that tune to simple theres not much varaition ehy like a 10 sec intro that keeps going on,For me it sounded lesser and im a metal head,aldo i liked some other tracks.BTW which games do feature hearable 10 channelled music.

The noise channel could also be converted to a tone channel.

Yeah but that channel is it for the character sound etc?,thus thats makes genesis 8 or 9 channeld aint it.

My favs (also listening on my mp3 player to the music) are:
Shinobi Series, Sonic Series, Streets of Rage Series, Combat Cars.

Combat casr,you guys know this classic from the dutch ""two unlimited" some music in combat cars sounds almost the same,fun game Drum and bass.If you record all the TF4 omakes with youre line in on youre mp3 plus offcourse the standart ones,they sound awsome without the game,while listening that its pumping trough youre ears,one minor if all the boss songs from TF had some good guitary solos in them,youlle be listening to the smae stuff as the real metal,when listening that i always keep wandering that it sounds so tight and pitched for just a genesis game,just speachless its just kick ass.But most of the games sound super but i need the game with it to like them,Also i like the music from saturn game okay its CD but games like fighting vipers,some nice pieces of metal.Since im am a real metal freak i like Those game,is fighters megamis worth a purchase?.

[djtwok]

Fighters megamix is a great game ! When going to music of other sega consoles i also love saturn (fighting vipers, nights, sonic) and gamegear (shinobi 1+2) and sega cd (spiderman, title song of road avenger).
In the good old times, sega tunes had a story to tell, not like now where i.e, @ sonic heroes the music is just "background" music.

[ary incorparated]

yeah that right,the songs where much deeper,like TF 4,shinobi 1 2 and 3,i Liked the sound of final fight cd also but nthing really outstanding.Now days it is all guilty that is metal and to be honest i dont like the music most of much to high and to much pushed,like you get some really childish guitar play with a synth solo,just crap.some songs from guilty gear are just damn badd(as in awesome).I liked the one metalish tune in dynamite headdy,that breaks youre ears open whil tuning those bleeps down.Ive bought MR bones(jangle) for the saturn,radiant silvbergun and fighters megamix,im just damn happy with that,i love sega ways more then what next gen console or ps2,GC,Dreamcast has the arcade games like crazi taxi okay grphics arent as good as those on ps2,but i think they hae more valeu and the effort you can see,like shenmue jet set radio.Nowdays many people become graphic whores in dutch,they laugh about shinobi 3 without playing.But like my friend he hates those game like shinobi 3 also,but comix zone shuts his trap,and he hates KI obviously that fake lookbox effect game that runs like shit.BTW to get back the the picture,are there some other games on saturn,mega cd that rwach the Grungy metal sceme of fighting vipers?

[Demonic Weasel]

Shining Force.

[ary incorparated]

Shining force,on saturn ahh oke ill remenber that one,are there some genesis RPG,s that use metal tunes somethimes,with rpg,s you never can expect what is coming in music.

[videolamer]

I second Shining Force. The constant snare drum gave the game a very cool battle march feel. And the Circus Tent music? Best song ever.

[ary incorparated]

shinig force 2?,hey i must by that title once,i still love those funny tunes form megaman willy wars too.MP# is the best way to record yess.is mister bones a good game for those who are into guitar and stuff,biy riffy stuff etc,or is it plain boring with boring and slow guitar play.

[DrunkHeadbanger]

-Most of Renovation titles (GRANADA!!, Whip Rush, Gaiares)

-Thunder Force IV boss battle tracks owns!

-MUSHA Fullmetal fighter yeah!!!!

-Contra Hard Corps

-Sonic and Knuckles has the best music of all the sonics (Flying Battery zone and the boss tracks!!!) The way Sonic 3 is blending Sonic and Knuckles music when put together is actually quite cool too.

-Comix Zone

[j_factor]

I didn't like how Sonic & Knuckles changed the Act 1 Boss music. That tune in Sonic 3 was so cool. "Come on!"
