I think this song benefits from having modern samples. Live instrument versions also generally sound good.

I need to actually finish this game. 😅

Apart from just a cool remix, it's a nice glitch demonstration / behind the scenes compilation.

Alternatively, a megamix of all this guy's MKII tracks are here. The channel is worth deep-diving, too. Lots of MK remixes.

It's early in the year 1994, and the 32-bit era is just taking off with the PSX around the corner. Other cd-based systems are already on the market.

Hypothetically, you as a customer are ready to upgrade, but have a sizable library of carts. Boom, 32X.

On paper, the 32X is an entry point into the next era that is both modular and backward compatible. The base unit gets you started, but also owning a Sega CD can unlock the full potential of the Genesis ecosystem with Sega CD 32X titles, and of course retain Sega CD compatibility.

A modern work like the Doom 32X Resurrection romhack gives a glimpse into a scenario where Sega fully committed to this premise. The way it works is the Genesis processor becomes a delegator, handing off tasks to the other processors found in the 32X and CD (if present). By all accounts, this handoff works much smoother than one might think.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting going all-in on 32X hardware would have changed anything for the better. Obviously, obviously they should have just been patient and devoted that much more resources toward the Saturn instead of panicking.

I just get where their heads were at - right? It made sense. Sorta.

In honor of Toriyama.

Too bad the game tried to push people toward a multiplayer that nobody wanted or liked to unlock single player content.

Dope orchestral soundtrack, though. Turns out blaring brass sounds good when you know what you're doing.

This roguelite Metroidvania surprised me with how well the randomized mechanics blended with exploration, and this track gives plenty of atmosphere to the third biome.

The Frontiers ost, and esp. the cyberspace stages are amazing as-is, but yeah, I can get down with this.

Themes from Mega Man 1 - 3 are here, including a couple of Wily Castles.

A turn-based rpg about travel and discovery in a very shonen kind of way. Now that I think about it, Skies takes a page or two from Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Anyway, one of the early lands has some of the most memorable music.

The ost was released physically by Wayo Records here. If you care enough about the soundtrack as a whole, it's a beautiful recording and a neat cd collection to own, despite missing a few tracks here and there.

OC Remix also has a remix album here
