I know we poke fun at the Genesis/Mega Drive’s sound capabilities, but in all honesty there are numerous outstanding soundtracks on the system, and at the very least you can say the platform has a distinct “sound.” Chiptunes all have a general NES/Game Boy feel, SNES music is all over the place, but Genesis, ah yes, you always know when you’re listening to that. Granted, they do eventually loop (because again, as cart titles they must) but the journey through the loop is a bit fresher than many other contemporary games. One thing I neglected to mention about many of the titles featured this week is how they grow and change – instead of simply repeating the same 40 second loop (as was often the case with cartridge-based music), many of these songs behave like genuine music, with a chorus, bridge and so on.
Our first look at the 16-bit Sega console focuses on lesser-known titles like Mean Bean Machine, along with classics ToeJam & Earl and Revenge of Shinobi.Ģ3:55 – Sunrise Blvd (Revenge of Shinobi)ģ9:30 – Blobby Blob Disco (OverClocked ReMix)
