Favorite Turbo/PCE Chiptune?

[Arkhan]

The people who do make fun of Keith Courage are laaaaaame.

I'll be honest:

NES: Mario
Genesis: Altered Beast
TG-16: Keith Courage

Keith is definitely the best of those 3 games.

It may not beat out Sonic the Hedgehog or Super Mario World, but by the time that jive came out, we had us some Bonk.

It's just not possible to single out one (or even 20) best chiptunes, but I will say one of the first chiptunes that really turned me on to the PC Engine was level 1 from Super Star Soldier.

See for me it was the music that plays in the houses in Neutopia.

I'm just the opposite... KC's underworld music is the shit. I remember when I first got the system, playing the game for the first time as soon as that underworld hit I was like "Holy shit the 16-bit era is gonna be epic."

.
yeah dude the bass is like ... bnnbnbnbnbnbnbnbbnbnbnbnbnbnbnbnbnbnbnnb


it kicks ass.   All the underworld tunes are sweet.

Keith Courage is sweet in general.

I think its the best pack-in game ever.  f*ck all the haters.

Really? It an ok game but compared to Super Mario World or Sonic the Hedgehog it mediocre. Shit even Altered Beast is better. Though the music is Pretty kick ass

I have several of them floating through my head.  My first thought was R-Type, but that's not really one that is restricted to the TG.  I like the music on the Legendary Axe's second level and the music in Psychosis.  Those are the ones that stick out in my mind atm.

From the "under appreciated" category:

Stage 6 (2/256) from Atomic Robo Kid (Special) is very nice, but you can't fully appreciate it when you are playing because of all the SFX and hectic action.

NOTE: I know the tunes in ARK sound "dinky" and I wish it had a fuller sound, but the entire soundtrack is decent and sounds great, nonetheless.

Is that the gold level? I love that tune.

Some of my favorites that I can name the in-game location of-

Bloody Wolf stage 1
Aeroblasters stage 1
Neutopia all 3 boss themes
Kabukiden first dungeon bgm
Altered Beast boss music
Air Zonk title screen
Ninja Spirit stage 2 and PCE mode ending
R-Type stage 1
Dragon's Curse village theme
Keith Courage alpha zone bgm

Keith Courage underworld theme immediately springs to mind, that shit ROCKS. It was up front, in your face, screaming "WELCOME TO THE 16-BIT GENERATION" back in the day.

Go to 4:10 in this video for Stage 6 (it's hard to hear the tune, though).
Go to ~2:15 for stage 4, which is the gold tubes

The PCE version of Stage 6 holds its own against the other versions, and, dare I say, is SUPERIOR!

Magical Chase final level (level 6). It is my favorite tune on the PC Engine.
This rendition is not hardware authentic, but it still sounds awesome.

Ah yeah, that a great tune as well. The game complete tune is also pretty awesome. In fact, that game has a great soundtrack overall, even if it takes a while to realise it.

Here are what come to mind for me:

Super star soldier stage 4
Soldier blade stage 4 & 5
Splatterhouse chapel and end boss
Ninja Spirit stage 6 and ending
Legendary Axe stage with the candles on the walls
All of China Warriors.
Title screen for sinistron and deadmoon.
Areo blasters stage 2 & 4.
Of couse dungeon explorer.

Oh my god, that sounds AWFUL. The tune itself is good, but this right here is the precise reason I hate emulation.

That is how tinny and lurpy the chiptunes sounded when I was testing Insanity stuff out in Magic Engine.
