Best CD PCE/Turbo games without ANY chiptunes?
« on: December 09, 2024, 01:18:07 PM »
I was doinking around playing Ys IV last week and really enjoy the town (chiptunes/Hu) music and the transitions seem so seemless from redbook CD to chiptunes.  But it got me thinking, what are some of your favorite CD games that have no chiptunes?  Is there a list somewhere?

Off the top of my head:

Gate of Thunder
Lords of Thunder
Loom
Beyond Shadowgate
Terraforming
Super Air Zonk

I know there are likely a TON more.....

Spriggan was my first Japanese import (PCE or no) so it's Redbook tunes are some of my favorite of all time. It wouldn't be the same with Chiptunes interspersed.

I'm pretty sure Nexzr doesn't have any either. Highly underrated tunes even within PCE circles.

heck yes, thank you!!  It's crazy I was thinking of the Neo Geo ports, and thought, "there's no way those have chiptunes in them" but literally all of them do!  haha.
