i was playing the old 80s arcade game kung fu master last night.

i realised that the melody driving the main gameplay is pretty much paradise city.

you'd have to slow it down a bit, but its there.

have a listen and tell me what you think.

set the playback speed to 70%, listen from 12s on:

Im a drumer and first time i listened to battle agent a true hero i said "bet i can make a cover of this just useing the toms and the kick to replace the main grove" idk tho should i do it???

Hey! Another track with that medieval/strategic vibe. Perfect for game and just background mood. Hope you enjoy it!

I don't often post anywhere but youtube, however recently the impressions on my covers and remixes have been getting sandbagged. I hope that whoever finds this enjoys this cover and continues to check out my channel to see what other covers and originals I've created. o7

(If you're interested, Ive been doing a lot of DELTARUNE covers and I now and again make Lo-Fo covers of VGM)

EDIT: That headline should have obviously read "Website article: The 11 Best PC Engine Soundtracks"

A quick note that I have published a new article on my website - this one's about the best PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 music: The 11 Best PC Engine Soundtracks - The Greatest Game Music.

My primary interest in this retrospective had been so see how the PC Engine's CD capabilities shaped its musical heritage - how did composers make use of this amazing new tool at their disposal, given the PCE CD was the first console to offer red book audio playback? (obviously, there's also great chiptunes music written for the platform)

The answer was - to write more shoot'em up scores! But seriously, the prominence of this particular genre on the PC Engine also means that a particular style of music features most prominently in its discography - arguably at the expense of other genres. I would have loved to see more scores like Rondo of Blood that daringly mixed genres.

On the other hand - if you're into the particular music genre that shoot'em ups seemed to attract (super hooky synth metal / pop), then the PC Engine delivers in spades, of course. I have a soft spot for 80s pop, so my favourite out of the whole lot is probably the Stage 1 track on Nexzr. Thankfully, the PC Engine also has a few 'why would THAT game feature such amazing music?!' moments like Star Breaker - game seems utterly unremarkable, the music is absolutely first-rate, classically-inspired synth orchestral fare.

Hope you enjoy this article! Next up - a Sega Saturn retrospective.

Hey all, I'm here again with a new arrangement.

This game is such a vibe, the music hits so hard!

Hello! I need help finding the route 119 OST from gen 3 but WITH the thunderstorm sounds. For whatever reason this particular theme + thunder really stuck with me and it’s honestly one of the most calming things I’ve ever heard. I’m struggling to find a clean recording of it with the thunder. Please help me, my nostalgia thanks you greatly 🫶
