Streets of Rage Had the Greatest Soundtrack of All Time
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.
(Culture, Retro, Wii)
Marvel Super Heroes
Death and Return of Superman
Spider-Man & Venom
WildCATs
Peace Keeper/Rival Turf/Brawl Brothers
Aliens vs Predator(Arcade)
Punisher
Dungeon-N-Dragons
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.
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.
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
Loved the soundtrack for this game as well. I have a lot of favourites and could easily name this the best soundtrack on the Genesis. but maybe not of all time.
i totally agree . i love the music . i would go in sound options put on headphones and listen to some tracks over and over. i’m going to go get that game
Best beat-em ups:
Streets of rage
Simpsons arcade
Final fight
Double dragon
Riot zone
Riot city
X-men
Ninja turtles
You mentioned riot zone/riot city. Not a lot of people played that, let alone owned a Turbo duo(PC engine scd).
Marvel Super Heroes
Death and Return of Superman
Spider-Man & Venom
WildCATs
Peace Keeper/Rival Turf/Brawl Brothers
Aliens vs Predator(Arcade)
Punisher
