A lack of effort can be greater than too much effort ;) .

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

From a straight up bonafide musical snob:

Runnin' in the Dark - DE2.  There really isn't a better song made for a video game, ever.  It's a proven, undeniable, unfallable truth.  Heavy on the ride symbol, choc full o' power chords, one finger bass, full synth, and I don't even like metal.

I heard Starfleet is doing a reunion album and this is track one.

Yes, for example when comparing a low-effort Hudson-made game to a high-effort Accolade-made game... Hudson will most certainly win.

Is that one of the re-arrangements of a Dungeon Explorer 1 track? Where in the game do you hear it?

I haven't played the game in a decade (but it's sitting on my book shelf) but I rock out to it on my Hudson 93 Music CD often.

I thought our posts were mainly referring to Telenet games? You don't need to spend a whole crap load of effort and time making a good song. The synthy songs in a lot of Telenet games are just simple and catchy, all you need for a good song and more especially for a video game.

Nice stevek666. Finally someone who appreciates this game! :wink:

I recommend the album Magical Trick Society: Dragon Spirit - Lead into Genesis, it is a dojin album with Dragon Spirit remixes. It's pretty poor, but I love the remix of Paleozoic Era (despite it being too rock-ish for my taste).

I will upload it along with the songs you mentioned here. Why? Because they need listenin'.

Dark Castle - Boss


Thanks for sharing those tracks :). It is fun to hear different versions, even though the HuCard tunes rock even harder! You and sunteam_paul must have missed the bashing that Dragon Spirit's soundtrack took not too long ago -- I was the only one to defend its honor.

I haven't really heard any Dragon Spirit remixes, so I should check them out.

The Ryo Yomenitsu arrangements of Dragon Saber are pretty good.  It's like Ys meets Dragon Spirit if you can imagine something so incredibly CrAzY!
