what was EGM's 1989 Game of the Year: Legendary Axe or Ghouls 'n Ghosts ?

what really ticks me off about the Saturn version is, the end of game music is TOTALLY arranged, and done terribly. it's done so badly that it sounds worse than the Genesis (and SuperGrafx)  at least in the composition of the music.

they really f*cked it up.

The SGX version has tiles/sprites that looks suspiciously like they were stored in 8color mode instead of the native 16 color mode. Quite a few early hucards used this method as a cheap and fast compression/decompression method. Bastards!

I can't really tell; what's it supposed to sound like?

   skip to the middle.

if you can't tell the difference, try comparing again.

I find the drums in Air Zonk very "fatiguing" for lack of better term, plus the melodies aren't that great. 

as i said a couple month ago, pc-denjin owns few of the best PCE chip-tunes ever composed. check level 2 and the level with the baseball stadium (4 i guess), those are some great compositions.

[Joe Redifer]

I've been through the whole sound test (and game) and while they are somewhat catchy, I just don't rank those tunes up there with the best PCE/Turbo tunes.

The title song alone is possibly the best Turbo chip song ever.

maybe not you, but i do!

No way.  I have no idea why the music in this game gets so much love.  It's not that great... unless all the other music on the system is shit.

to each his own I guess.

[Tatsujin]

we know, joe always tends to the extreme on anything

[Joe Redifer]

  I'm just saying that Air Zonk's music isn't as great as most people make it out to be, and most people make it out to be the best music on the system.  Nothing extreme about that.

[Tatsujin]

we're not the crappy chart music judges in here, so i suppose all of us have some good and healthy potion of experience with chip-music and may be able to judge those for good and bad. so there must be a good reason for, why people actually feel that pc-denjin contains some real good tunes.

[Joe Redifer]

The reason I usually hear are the drums, and that's the main thing about that music which bugs me.

[nat]

For me, the drums are nice (certainly isn't anything offensive about them), but isn't really a part of why I like the music. The title song tune is classic.
