What Non-SEGA games had the best Mega Drive/Genny music?
What Non-SEGA games had the best Mega Drive/Genny music?
I ask this as we all know that SEGA's music was pretty much the best thing on the console, with a few exceptions...
However, what Mega Drive/Genny OSTs stand out for you from non-SEGA games?
For me, Hellfire (the shmup) has an awesome soundtrack (from the employees of CAVE before CAVE became a developer). The OST for me is personally better then even the Arcade version as it has that ROCK style to it!
I also think that Rocket Knight Adventures had a great OST also, but it's hit and miss with some members in the community.

The first that comes to my mind right away are the Thunder Force series, especially III (T1/T2) and IV (T1/T2), Castlevania Bloodlines (T1/T2), and from Compile, Puyo Puyo (T1/T2) and MUSHA (T1/T2).
What I like most about those are the use of the synths that defines each game, apart the composition.

I didn't play a lot of Non-sega games on the Genesis. But the one game that I remember the music from rather well is The Lost Vikings.
The music wasn't that special but it sure gave a good mood to the levels. I tried looking around for the music but only found a good version of one of the levels and the main theme. The rest were from other versions of the game on other consoles and listening to them, the Genesis version sounds the best.

Yes, Puyo Puyo is owned by SEGA now. The first 3 games were made by Compile, so that's why I placed it here. As far as I know, the only co-developed game was Puyo Puyo 4.Starlight wrote:Isn't Puyo Puyo part of SEGA now? Or even co-developed on the Mega Drive at the beginning?
Right here, a favorite of mine.AISLE10JSRF wrote:Dynamite Headdy had some amazing music in it as well I just listened to it on the way to work![]()
