VGM Wednesday has returned, and the theme is "Super Sixteen Bit!" This makes it tough to pick one, as the 16 bit era had some amazing tunes on both Megadrive and SNES (and I'm sure other machines that were not so readily available). There are so many good soundtracks from the time, from the Sonic series, to Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Gunstar Heroes, Castlevania, etc.
However I think I'll just provide the Boss Theme to my favourite JRPG, Chrono Trigger. It's a classic
For #VGMWednesday, with the theme of #SuperSixteenBit, may I present the underrated U.N. Squadron soundtrack, which is full of absolute bangers. These are my favorites:
This week @miona is BACK for VGM Wednesday! Welcome back!
She comes at us with a fantastic theme of "Super Sixteen Bit."
From the Genesis / SNES era, one of my favorite beat 'em ups is Comix Zone. For those who never played, it tells the story of a comic book artist who gets pulled into his own comic by it's main villain. He then has to fight from panel to panel to survive. It's cool and has a 16-bit rock inspired soundtrack.
It's #VGMWednesday and todays theme is #SuperSixteenBit One of my favorite and most played Sega Megadrive (Genesis) games was Streets of Rage 2. The soundtrack is still a banger!
It still blows my mind that composer Yuzo Koshiro was only 22 back then 🤯 He started composing video game soundtracks when still in high school. Check out a photo of his setup in 1989 in this recent feature:
