Dynastic Hero

I have to step in an defend the Megadrive sound here. While all machines have good and bad sound (and bad Megadrive sound was really dire), the machine could produce some awesome music.

Super Shinobi, Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, Streets of Rage for example.

Technosoft were masters of that sound chip and their games always sounded amazing (aside from Devil Crash). My particular favourites are Herzog Zwei and the game complete tune from Elemental Master.

I'm not sure why people like the sound in Sonic so much though...I always thought it was flat and unimaginative.

One special mention should go to Sunsoft's Batman on the megadrive. I just love that soundtrack.

Yeah, the Batman soundtrack was pretty good (except the opening track, which blew hardcore and stunk of old socks). The sound effects sucked though...punching a bad guy sounded like you were rubbing sandpaper on silk.

I should try comparing the sound from the NES Batman to the Genesis version, I loved the music in that game.
