PCE chip music

I don't know if there is anything technically unique about it (I don't think there is) but I still like the stage 2 music in Aeroblasters.

That tune has a really nice beat to it which is really put on display if your home sound system has good bass response... It doesn't thump like the track in Dragon Spirit, but it has a nice "oomph" to it.

hehe. It has a funky beat and you can bug out to it.

Time Cruise 2 - had a change to listen to that recently. I like. Nothing really stands out, but some of the compositions nice. It's got quite a bit of tracks. I wonder if all of them are used in game. Some tracks have a nice bass-synth which I'm a sucker for when done right - whether pronounced like slap/pluck or soft and synth-y.

I recommend any games made by FACE. I always point out how unique and awesome their games sound. Time Cruise, Metal Stoker, whatever other games I can't think of at the moment...

Actually, Kyukyoto Tiger IIRC was done by the same guy that did Legendary Axe 2, Dungeon Explorer, etc.

And, I just remembered another one, Fighting Run, lot's of different sampled stuff, kind of SNES'ish.

I thought we determined a while back LA2 and DE were actually done by two different people?

Really?  I don't recall that.  They sound like they're carbon copies of eachother.  Plus, I think we established something about alot of those guys using different nicknames in the credits, atleast, back then they did.

Yeah it was on this forum a year or so ago. Damn if I can remember the thread though. Maybe I'm remembering wrong...

 I vaguely remember something about it too.

So, Bonknuts, what is this you are collecting music for? You have some kind of project in mind? Please, do share with us.

Thank you, runin, that was it, exactly. Guess it was over on MagicEngine, not here.

So, yeah, DE was done entirely by one guy (same guy that did Bonk's Adventure, Ultimate Tiger, etc), and LA II was entirely by a different guy (or guys).

Makes sense, since the "DE guy" was an Atlus employee and development of Dungeon Explorer and Bonk's Adventure was farmed out by Hudson Soft to Atlus. I don't think Atlus had any hand in LA II.

I don't know why so many people think that LAII and DE sound exactly the same. LAII doesn't have much variety in sound, especially compared to DE. The kind of sound it does have isn't used much in DE. However, one part of one track does sound like part of a track in DE.

I'd do an audio comparison video, but there wouldn't be much to line up in similar sounding tracks.

Hey, you could still do the video, if only to point out how different they are .

Another idea: I thought it would be neat to do an Avenger-Valis comparison, or simply compare a bunch of Telenet games, to hear some of the similarities in the music (instruments, tunes, blah, blah)
