SNES Game SoundTrackS

going through all of the SNES tunes.

[snesgsts]

(1994) 3 Ninjas Kick Back

this soundtrack can be divided into two parts: meh imo and silly dance.

I quite enjoy the latter, especially considering that it’s well-constructed! 

check out “Koji Dojo & Bonus Room”

[snesgsts]

(1995) 3x3 Eyes: Jyuma Houkan

this is a lot less gritty than its predecessor. it’s alright though. 

it excels at vaguely atmospheric tunes, stuff like “Factory” 

[snesgsts]

(1992) 3x3 Eyes: Seima Kourinden

this soundscape seems to have a certain grit to it. it adds character. i like it.

check out “999″

[snesgsts]

(1995) 4-nin Shougi

kinda simple but really nice. chill stuff.

“Medieval Game 1″ is amazing

[snesgsts]

(1993) 7th Saga

a good soundtrack, as you might expect from enix.

it’s one of those orchestral-leaning but not purely orchestral per se. sort of deals. yeah. 

“Frozen Depths of the Earth” has a cool sound to it. “World Map” is prolly my fav.

I feel like I should point out the lovely “Battle in a World of Light” just to show that it’s not a one-trick soundtrack.

(1998) A Bug’s Life

SGB stuff. it’s alright.

I enjoyed “Level Theme 2″ in particular

[snesgsts]

(1995) A Ressha de Ikou 3 Super Version

these samples are kinda default-kit sounding but i really enjoy how they were put to use.

it’s kind of an odd one to tag #good but i am just. really enjoying this.

“Theme 1″ was a lovely start and then “Theme 5″ pushed it over the top for me

[snesgsts]

(1994) A.S.P.: Air Strike Patrol

this has solid sound design! well, maybe a little muddied through that gaussian low-pass, but still solid snes work. 

check out “Area 7″ for example

[snesgsts]

(1995) AAAHH!!! Real Monsters

this does an amazing job at capturing that sort of spooky but dreamy vibe that i [vaguely] remember from the show.

it’s really cool actually. “Stage Intro 3″ is some of the better quality orchestral ive heard from the snes honestly

“Gymnasium 3″ adds a beat tho, so it gets the highlight

[snesgsts]

(1993) ABC Monday Night Football

its ok.

honestly my fav tune is the incredibly short “Replay” just because the composer is SHREDDING that slapped bass. (dynamics are whack tho...)

[snesgsts]

(1993) Accelebird

this is a really strong soundtrack, to the extent that I suspect it might be originally from an arcade game. (didnt check tho...)

it has that sort of cohesive sample-based-but-might-just-be-a-rompler vibe if that makes any sense

check out “Inside Cheesering Tower”

[snesgsts]

(1993) Ace wo Nerae!

it’s a mix of alright and meh. I’m going to assume motoi is responsible for the former ;)

try “Practice”

[snesgsts]

(1994) ACME Animation Factory

it’s mario paint but with a looney tunes reskin.

im not a fan of the music, even if it is pretty aptly looney. 

“Options” was the only one i kept

[snesgsts]

(1992) Acrobat Mission

hmm...it’s alright. 

try “Space” maybe?

[snesgsts]

(1993) Action Pachio

its alright. kinda simple and chipper.

try “Planet Gilligan"

[snesgsts]

(1991) Actraiser

why is this so much more enjoyable than the sequel? lol

the obvious standout is “Fillmoa”, which almost sounds like its from a castlevania game

“North Wall” is a more calm highlight

[snesgsts]

(1993) Actraiser 2

...yep. this is some high quality snes orchestral. I can appreciate it for that but I still don’t really like orchestral lol

“Altheria” stands out imo
