Fine choice, fine choice, I always liked that one too (and the only one out of that game if memory serves). But I'll raise you a Super Star Soldier: Stage 6, another one of my favorites:


Actually, no, I'll raise you a stage 2, too! It was this chip tune that was one of my all time favorites:


Nostalgia moment: I tried to master this shooter many many eons ago. I could get to stage 6 with my first guy on the maximum difficulty level (that's after you've unlocked the menu with the secret code). I always loved how everything could go perfect, then the one mistake causes everything to fall apart and turn into a debacle, usually at the boss. Then you can't do nothing but keep dying because you've lost your fully powered up weapons with the first death, so all those free guys you earned mean nothing - no choice but to get completely killed off and use a continue to get another shot, eh, not always, but that was my experience a lot of the times. Fun little gem of a shooter, though!

Nice choice Henry! I like how the music changes when you start zipping through those mazes. It's a great transition and fits really nicely with the mood of the level.

It is so darn tough to choose just one track from one of this game, but I am going with the Cavern theme in Shadow of the Beast. What an amazing composition, especially with the inclusion of wind instruments.

SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.

Dragon Saber - Stage 2 is the bee's knees! 

Shadow of the Colossus - Revived Power.  Fantastic! 

Shubibinman 3 - Stage 2 - short but magnificent. 

Assassin Title on Amiga.  Might not grab you, but its prog-rock-ish tune stayed in my head for weeks recently! 

All of Legendary Axe II's soundtrack!

That was one of my many PS2 games purchased years ago that had been sitting around doing nothing until a couple of weeks ago when I somehow managed to break my spell of non-game-playing and decided to start with this! I think seeing Adam Sandler's character playing this game in his movie "Reign Over Me" also had me wondering about it, which added to my decision to finally play it! I finished it in a couple of days and while the plot is basically riding around with your horse to fight the next gigantic boss, it's an excellent game and I enjoyed it!
