Truth told, I think the NES sound chip was stretched the most and achieved the greatest highs considering the limitations.

I just couldn't believe what Sunsoft did with the Genesis sound chip. Truly amazing!

Sunsoft's music for Aero the Acrobat series really sucks.

Must've been a bad programming team. Never really liked the game anyway.

Aero the Acrobat, Zero the Squirrel, Blaster Master 2, Batman Revenge of the Joker etc etc were all done in the US or UK as far as I know and did not use Sunsoft's renowned Japanese team.  These games all sounds rally bad.  All games that came before them sound really good.  Batman for the PCE has great music, it's like the NES' music (same tunes) only better.

I never thought any of those games were too bad .  Aero was pretty chunky but it was still a fun one.

I am biased towards NES/Famicom, so naturally I agree. I think that many, many tunes are outstanding, especially considering the technical limitations.

As for 8-bit generations, SID was the best ever :)

I just love it, and what peeps made out of its limitations. It sounded great, still does and ever will.

Soo many great memories. And yet so many great tunes to discover.

Even though the game is nearly unplayable Silver Surfer has some of the best music on the NES! I am not kidding!

lol, nobody is gonna say that you're kidding. It's made by Tim and Geoff Follin. The compose master(s) of the 8bit era.

I just have that strong feeling that you would gonna love SID music soooo much!!
