What is your favorite PSG music?
« on: October 15, 2007, 04:36:25 PM »
This can include HuCards as well as the newer, more fabulous TurboChip format (which blows HuCards away) or even CD games which use PSG music.  SuperGrafx is included with it's amazingly beefed up sound chip as well.  Which games have your favorite PSG tunes?

Mine?  Funny you should ask.  I like the following:

Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu
Legendary Axe
Legendary Axe 2
R-Type
Batman
Sidearms

AND MANY MORE!

One of my absolute favorites......is Shockman, I love the sounds, drum kit, composition, everthing!  I love the 1st 2 Bonk's.  The Legend of Xanadu's(especially the 2nd) are incredible.  Jackie Chan is rad, as is New Adventure Island.  I also love Impossamole!  Oh, & Bloody Wolf :)

Oh man, how could I forget about Devil's Crush?  Bad me!  Bad!  Bad!

I think Bonk 3's PSG music is better than the CD music of the same game.

Absolutely, no question. It's possibly the only game in the entire history of the world that I can say that about.

Alright, another Aldynes lover!! Aldynes has some very... "robust" sound. I love it. I'm actually surprised it doesn't get more praise.

i think the PSG of R-type is also better than the red book audio of the complete cd. but that's just a question of everyones own personal taste.

Yeah, i think aldynes has some great music like the cave level, thats the level that you can get stuck to the walls, the music for that level is very somber and moody, giving it allot of atmosphere.

I agree with this as well.  I also think it sounds far better than the arcade.

nat, I cannot believe you didn't list Space Harrier.

Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu
Soldier Blade
Probably a lot of other stuff since I haven't played a lot of TG16.

I'm still wondering why nobody has made a MIDINES-style MIDI system for TG-16 yet.

Joe haven't you made this thread before?

EDIT: I was right, here's the original thread ;) . Though technically that thread didn't include PSG tracks in CD games I don't think.

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