yeah that chipophone dude is very awkward on camera, but that thing is f*cking legit, and he plays some nice stuff.



Id tell the guy to make me one but Im pretty sure hes foreign so building + shipping it over seas would cost like 10934802394809 money.

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."

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.

I think that when I got to the first underworld stage in Keith Courage I think I literally said something along the lines of "Holy f*ck, shit just got serious!"

Never liked the overworld sections much, but the rest of the game is pretty cool IMO. First thing that blew me away was the colors compared to other systems available at the time (1989).

KC gets a lot of flack for being the early pack-in choice because the subject matter of the game is sort of ho-hum. But it's obvious why the picked it.... It really showcases the graphical and sound capabilities of the system.

KC is one of my favorites. The music is just awesome.  Even the short bits, like when you see the rainbow and the short tune when you see KC changing into the Nova suit.  Coming from a NES to playing KC the music and sound just blew me away.  The end tune in KC is one of my all time favorite chip tunes. It's just amazing.

The graphics are repetitive, but what is there is beautiful. The underworld characters are plain art. 

There are a few surprises like the overworld with the Ice. On a CRT is looked amazing back in the day. My friends and I thought it looked like real ice on the screen.  Had a surreal effect.  (The effect is lost on emulators and clearer screens like LCDs)


Also, anyone into PC/Turbo chip tunes of course has to check out the amazing Squirrel!!

Just wish I had more time to make music. Someday....

Aye, same here... it looks quite realistic on a normal CRT, and it was very convincing.
