Even among such classic compositions as the Super Mario theme and the Overworld theme from the orginal Legend of Zelda, Sega's classic Streets of Rage music stands apart.

sound effects were great lol.. Skates cork screw kick sound was awesome.. So was axels body slam moves lol

jtenma4264d ago

This is because of the way the genesis was made. The Nintendo systems may have looked slightly better, but had inferior sound chips.

But wow, I didn't realize anyone else noticed that. It sounds like it hits so hard. Especially the poles LMAO

WAAAPOOSH!

and

KURRRR!

optimus4263d ago

You got it the other way around; it was well known that the supernintendo had a much better sound chip than the genesis.

SaiyanFury4263d ago

Yep, it was actually the father of the PlayStation, Ken Kutaragi who designed the SNES/Super Famicom sound chip. Which was, in fact, quite superior to the Genesis/MegaDrive. That said, SEGA had some really wicked composers like Yuzo Koushirou who did some really memorable soundtracks. I love the music from the original Sonic games, as well as games like Shinobi 3, and Streets of Rage.

jamesensor4264d ago

Many amiga32 games were also known of its awesome soundtracks.

No_Pantaloons4264d ago

When I read the title I immediately started humming one of the tunes, complete with sound effect for special moves.

Takes me back to all those sleep overs staying up all night beating the crap out of hundred of thugs, while dashing to get the apple or turkey before my buddy takes it.

sigh...They sure don't make games like this anymore.

AlexGalbraith4263d ago

That's what inspired this post. I was humming the theme from level 1 for days before I cottoned on to what it was. Then I went on a SoR music binge on YouTube and here we are

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
