PCE/TG16 games with full vocal tracks

[PunkicCyborg]

I thought it would be neat to list all the games with full vocal tracks and eventually have YT links to them all. I need help compiling a list though! If you know of any post the game title and where it is in the game please.

Metamor Jupitor - ending track
Super Air Zonk - ending track
Final Zone II - TG16 version opening
Final Zone II TG16 version "you are the best"
Ruin Kami No Isan end track

[esteban]

ASIDE: I dig this topic because many, many moons ago I wanted to compile an exhaustive list of vocal tracks on PCE titles...but our collective knowledge (on another board of dedicated nerds) still fell short of my lofty dreams.

SUNTEAM PAUL created an entire episode of PC ENGINE CITY PODCAST #11 dedicated to songs with vocals. Good stuff, if you are into that sort of trash.

PLAYLIST #11 (29:29)

BONUS: Blast from  the past...these are all that remains of ancient pages on Final Zone II...I've always intended to update them, and the FZII wallpapers, but I never have...the "notes" are comments from my brother, one of the few people in the universe who actually provided any useful feedback on theses particular lyrics...I made up the titles for the US songs, of course...if you have any corrections/suggestions, please help!

REQUEST: I'd love the Japanese songs (plus lyrics) to be here as well. I never ripped the Japanese soundtrack (well, not in 10+ years)...

Bowie's Chance 
(Opening Theme for Final Zone II)

home.comcast.net/~turbografx-preservation-society/final_zone_II_2_opening_theme_lyrics.html

Forward we march
Thrusters up full
Fight to the death

Watching them fall
Burst into flames
With bazookas

Let's....
Carry before it's late
We will not miss it all--
This chance

Bowie,
This is the chance
That you've been waiting for
A dream of home you can't ignore

Can't you see
You have the floor,
Open the door...

CRUSH!

...destroy Ruman

--------------------------------------- NOTES ----------------------------------------------

(1)  Originally, I thought the third stanza was:

Let's....
CARRY ON before it's late
We will not miss it all--
This chance

But my brother Mike said:

"In the third stanza, he actually sings:
 
Let's....
CARRY before it's late
 
Of course, your line sounds more natural and conversational, but there is no space or time in the song to fit the extra word "on".  Furthermore, the next line is six syllables, and this would match up with the six syllable line "Carry before it's late".  Actually, by adding the word "on" you have changed the meaning of the line;  I just looked up the word "carry" in the dictionary, and It has a million definitions.  Interpret it as you like, but "carry" can also mean "to reach or penetrate",  "to keep and follow the scent (as a hunting dog)",  "to gain victory for",  "to hold on to and follow after (as a scent)",  etc.  It might sound odd, but the line is grammatically correct."
 
 
 
(2)  Initially, I thought the song closed with:

Crush ... destroy YOUR MAN

But my brother Mike said:

"For the last line, you wrote "Crush ... destroy your man" which makes perfect sense and sounds right, but the singer actually says
 
Crush ... destroy RUMAN
 
which he pronounces almost like "Roe-man".  Of course,  Dr. Alif Ruman is "your man" -- according to the instruction manual, Ruman is the head of "ZOD",  a secret military weapons society specializing in ultra-modern weapons."

Song for Bowie
(Momoko's Theme Song in Final Zone II)

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://home.comcast.net/~turbografx-preservation-society/final_zone_II_2_momoko_song_lyrics.html

Everything like a dream
You always make me scream
Just like a shooting star
run through my heart

I know you're there,
Because you care
About the revolution

Protecting lives we must
They will instill their trust
I'll be there for you anytime you call
A phone, Bowie just call....

I miss you baby

Don't turn back for anyone
He's wrong , so please be strong
You will not be alone

Don't stop

Your wounds will heal in time
So ease your mind
Succeed and rest
You are the best

--------------------------------------- NOTES ----------------------------------------------

(1) Initially,  I thought the lyrics were:

I'll be there for you anytime you call
DON'T FALL, Bowie just call....

But my brother Mike said:

"After listening again, I am convinced that she sings:

I'll be there for you anytime you call
A PHONE, Bowie just call....

This might sound redundant, but perhaps the Japanese translator was distinguishing an electronic call from an ordinary call in person."

Awe, how could you miss It Came From the Desert?

[esteban]

Let's put all the video links in the first post, alphabetized (or some sort of organization).

Let's put all the video links in the first post, alphabetized (or some sort of organization).

Thats what I was going to do but with the new embedded youtube vids it'll make the page take a million years to load. I was trying to add them as links but I couldn't figure that out. What do you think?

[PunkicCyborg]

Oh also I can upload any missing titles to my youtube acct if I have the game to rip or if I can find a copy of it. Working on Metamor Jupitor right now. I might upload all the good tracks from that game cause the music is so good.

[ccovell]

Mustn't forget Legion!   

[Black Tiger]

I didn't include Karuna's (3?) tracks with the rest of the extended vocals from the Kabukiden soundtrack, because I don't like them-

The mascot song isn't included either.

Mustn't forget Legion!   

What?! Yet another surprise. I have to dig this game out.

It Came From the Desert: http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/ICFTD/Sea_of_Love_Full_Version_TurboGrafx_CD.mp3

Good god that song is awesome. Kinda reminds me of the last half of DJ Shadow's 2003 mix:

It Came From the Desert: Sea of Love (full-length)

Good god that song is awesome. Kinda reminds me of the last half of DJ Shadow's 2003 mix:

No joke, I love this song. It was ambitious, it took itself seriously in a goofy game, and I totally respect the folks who were involved with creating it.

It has a Chris Isaak vibe.

I tried to figure out the lyrics many years ago. I gotta see if I can find them (because I needed help confirming every line).

DJSHADOW: that was an interesting set. I wasn't familiar with most songs, lots of great stuff. Yes, the moody atmosphere of the last ~3 minutes (reverb guitar) is reminiscent of Sea of Love.

[Punch]

The GAME. The LEGEND. The import who snaked in the coming soon attractions from Japan in the TG-16 promo VHS! The first CDROM console game (no it wasnt fighting street shut up)!

[esteban]

COME ON, GURUS...surely there are more games than this....I'm trying to find my old notes, but they elude me...

UPDTAE: Ha! The recent question about MotoRoader MC reminded me of this:
