A place for your favorite video game songs, OSTs, and remixes for games of all eras. Also, deep dives into their creation and composition.

Would appreciate composer names in either the title or the post, for recognition of their hard work.

Looking for a name, a game, or an album? Check out the Video Game Music Database over at VGMDb, or the Video Game Music Preservation Foundation at VGMPF.com!

This is a cover of a 1979 song of the same name, which was likely used without permission: https://youtu.be/Yxep-gS-Btg?feature=shared

The game was re-released on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Mini 2, with a new copyright-friendly soundalike song titled Ryzeen: https://youtu.be/8t2Ku0wtjCo?feature=shared

Edit: Whoops, linked to the wrong one for a bit there. I think I've got it straight now.

The opening theme for DBZ super butoden on the super famicom is not a straight cover of rydeen but definitely a solid case of plagiarism.
