Yes, yes, thank you! Finally!

I thought I was the only person in the world who felt this way. :lol:
*highfive*

Also, that boss music from Rocket Knight Adventures was awesome. I've never played the game, and now I want to. Thanks for posting.

No problem!

Definitely check it out, you owe it to yourself to play it. I can say without reservations that RKA is one of the best games on the system. 8)

The kid chameleon title screen music is one of my favorites.

There are some awesome tracks out there from the Genesis.

Vector man opening level

Contra Hard Corps final Boss "last springsteen"

Streets of Rage 3

So many others from my teen hood...

But I need to find an old dub I had from back when Ecco Tides of Time was brand new. I was playing the game for HOURS with the gen on the shag carpet no less. Suddenly the sound processor overheated or something and the tracks were goofed to all hell. But the main one sounded especially funky. I recorded is on my old cassette deck and I still have the tape...I may just find it for fun...

I am more of a fan of SNES music, many of the Genesis music sounds like crap to me like this for example...

but there are a few exceptions like someone said that it depends on the composer, my favorite of it all is Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage 2, Revenge of Shinobi)

Plus I like it when cover artist cover Genesis songs like the Zero Wing theme
