I love the original Genesis sound chip. Anyone who talks bad about it hasn't played a game that properly utilized it. It's bass tones and lower frequencies especially always stood out to me as something special.
I agree, I always loved the sound of it. It was very versatile too, could do some badass heavy metal stuff, techno (Vectorman's menu music sounded almost like a real produced track that might have been made at the time, blew me away), and even some cheesy but lovable 80s synthpop sounding stuff. I think the SNES had only the advantage in atmospheric symphonic stuff (Zelda and Mario World's castles as examples) and maybe had more "fidelity". I love the Snes sound reproduction but I think the most standout tracks for me were on the Genesis.
Random Games I checked this out and I don't really agree--it's just a bunch of digitized sounds. Which is sort of technically interesting and unique for a 16 bit game, but it's a text based quiz game. I'm sure they had plenty of room for big PCM samples. From a purely technical perspective playing digitized sounds on Genesis hardware is actually pretty trivial, nothing like say what Konami or Sunsoft or Yuzo Koshiro could get out of an FM synth.
5ch3nk Hell yeah, man. I've always thought Sega sounds more dark and gritty whereas SNES sounds bright and cartoonish. I still love Sega's music best of any console to this day.
While I personally liked the snes better, I do enjoy some of the sega library. and sega needs to bank on their 16 bit legacy more if they want to find success in todays market. Nostalgia is bankable if done right.
It's strange, I think Castlevania: Bloodlines and Contra Hard Corps are my 2 favorites of their respective series, and they're each one-off Genesis versions of franchises at that time synonymous with Nintendo. Wish Konami would have utilized the Genesis more, they seemed to be naturals at programming for it, and both had amazing soundtracks.
I absolutely like the duo YM2612 + PSG, I like how the electronic tones sound, and I like how you can produce a sound with FM synth that doesn't exist in real life, the ones that the only instrument able to generate are ... synthesizers. Those tunes sound quite familiar to my Japanese Mega Drive VA6 model 1. For me, this is video game music. :-)
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love this. Just LOVE IT! I barely knew any of the tracks (I think I only knew like 3 of them), but every song just sounds so cool. Lately I've been listening to this over and over. Thanks for introducing me to a world of new awesome video game music! :)
Often I see people commenting how the Snes soundchip has aged better than the Genesis soundchip. Honestly, I think the opposite. The genesis sounds more electronic, synthesized. If you turn the radio today you definitely will listen to an EDM or a similar genre song, which means the Yamaha 2612 actually could reproduce the song very close to the original. Tracks from games like Streets of Rage could be played in a night club with no problem. To this day games have electronic audio (with no need to sound organic nor realistic) and people still don't mind it at all. Now, the snes soundchip. The samples are low quality and muffled (still better than the genesis samples, but with more usage). Why would you bother listen to the snes samples if you can have cd quality audio nowadays? The same with some sounds that can emulate real instruments. The Final Fantasy/Chrono Trigger soundtrack is great, but would you rather just listen to the original tracks or the same song being played by real people and instruments? Both are great in their own way, but the Yamaha has aged better.
2:45:20 I've played Mean Bean 2p a thousand times and never noticed how much the music SHREDS. That drum beat too, I could see this being shredded on stage especially 2:47:10 my good
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL yes please! we want a longer version with more tracks! this compilation is awesome! I used to listen this all the day while I'm working :D
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL If you do a new version, could you also add the titles on the video itself? Like "now playing", etc. Great channel you have here, anyway. Keep up the good work!
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL heres a list of song that would be cool to be on your next compilation Sonic 3 : Flying Battery Act 2, Nightmare Circus : Wall of Death and Funhouse Street Of Rage 3 : Shinobi (reversed), The Super Shinobi : Terrible beat and Chinatown, Dr Robotnick Mean Bean Machine : Brave (unused), Sonic 3D Blast : Boss 1, Boss 2 and Final Boss Adv of Batman & Robin : Music test 10
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL I'd say something from Thunder Force III or IV? I like the music more in III, but IV maybe has a more unique sound? Raiden Trad has some really neat sounds, from the harder driving stage sounds to the super cool-sounding name entry tune. I'll try to think of some more.
Great collection. Maybe something from Chakan could be added? I always thought the music in that game was pretty good. The intro theme or the main hub music would be cool. Also anything from the first Toe Jam and Earl like the Funkotronic Beat.
I heard some of that music last night. It has some legit Dungeon Synth atmospheric qualities to it, I can't really describe it, really cool and interesting sounds. Sounds like you're "exploring" a place.
I'd say add anything by Yuzo Koshiro. That guy was beast and could do anything with the Genesis soundchip. Revenge of Shinobi (Super Shinobi) Glad to see you had music from the very underrated Streets of Rage 3 soundtrack. Oh and my favorite SoR YK track ever! Attack of the Barbarian near the end :) Guynoug had awesome music. Some of Michael Jacksons tracks for Sonic 3 were fantastic - Hydrocity Act 2 :) and the end of the games music is where MK originated the basslines for 'Stranger in Moscow'. The other Golden Axe games had some great tracks.... lots and lots of options really Really dug the Snes soundchip, but liked the Genesis more overall. alot of great tunes adding to the atmosphere of the games Thanks for the nostalgia, dude :)
As someone who has loved and lived through the console wars since the fight began between the Atari 2600 and the Intellivision, I'd like to weigh in on the whole Genesis/SNES bit. Back in the day, I lauded over the SNES and scoffed at my buddy who was a Sega fanboy. The SNES just sounded so much better, especially games like Plok, Actraiser, and Adventure Island. But, in today's day and age where games are so generic in that the graphics, animation and cut scenes are all about the same and the music is all recorded, I find myself craving chiptunes. I continuously come back to the Genesis for soundtracks to keep me going while I work. Soundtracks like Thunderforce IV, Verytex and Streets of Rage keep my happy going.
My only issue with this is that the power switch on the Genesis in the picture is turned off, and the headphones volume is on 0 and not 10 or higher. 😂
Just about any Disney track on the Genesis got the most out of the audio hardware. Especially Lion King. Also loved the funky Toejam and Earl 2 tracks. I'm also Blown away by how similar Beat it from Micheal Jacksons Moonwalker sounded to the real song.
You could not have this video up without 2:34:24 - Sonic Chemical plant, it's just not fkn possible. It's against all rules. Sonic and Superhang On had some straight BANGERS.
The Sega Genesis games' music (especially Sonic game music) are cool. They are really good for listening while playing some indie games with boring music. :)
The Virtua Racing track you picked was better than most. The 32X version had outstanding music, the Genesis version not so much. And also, from EWJ 2: It's Lorenzen's Soil, not Lorenzo's Soil. Personally I would have chose "Anything but Tangerines" from the same game. But I would also recommend (and this could be a good VA3/Mega Amp upload as well) Cool Spot, more particularly the Rave Dance Tune. But I like the whole game's music, like EWJ 1 and 2, it's done by Tom Tallarico, so little surprise that it's of really high quality. And I'm amazed with Dub Slash from SoR 3, which I listened to on an emulator and it sounded really horrible, and here it's actually really catchy. But the same holds true with Spider Man and Venom: Separation Anxiety, which disappointingly I don't see here.
Fun fact: I got that EWJ2 level name wrong because it's a parody title and I got it confused with the movie title it's parodying (the movie is "Lorenzo's Oil" lol). Also, with Virtua Racing, it's not so much the Genesis version had bad music as much as it barely had any music at all. I plan on doing SOR3 shortly, not sure if I will do it MegaAmp or on the Model 1. I have a couple requests I have to do first, hopefully I will find time for that this weekend.
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL I figured, just correcting bc it's on planet Lorenzen. XD EWJ always had a cheeky sense of humour, and I love that. Try the MegAmp, as I like it more than the VA3.
The problem with Genesis music is most of games made on USA for the Genesis had terrible music. So people who knows Genesis by Mega Drive had contact with more japanese games and the japanese music is generally a lot better.
Hermann Cavalcante some of them (vectorman, earthworm jim), but I do get your point. especially renaming those bad ass japan and europe games! stupid copyright nonsense...
El Viento You have a point but to be fair, it was a very Japanese console. Honestly it's kinda hard for me to name, many us made genesis game off the top of my head. Outside of the disney and sports games.
Ecco series, games by psygnosis, by OCEAN, great composers like K.Huelsbeck (Mega Turrican), J.Kyd (Sub-Terrania, Red Zone, Batman and Robin OSTs!), M.Furniss (ALIEN3, Predator2, Lost vikings, Boogerman, MK I-II, Lion King and many others) =)
Sorry I have somehow to disagree. I first discovered some great RPGs through the PS3 MegaDrive Collection and youtube soundtracks which translated into english only and never made it to France and Germany. Batman and X-Men had great soundtracks too. I think it just depends what you play and if it sounds good without game. Even modern games has music which sounds terrible when not playing the game. But you´re right some RPGs on MegaDrive had superb music compared to the action games.
new junk city sounds different to how I am used to. I know i have only listneded to emulated versions but this sounds like there are whole background tunes that aren't normally there? Surely emulation can't lose that completely? Or are the VGM files I listened to just messed up? But when i play it in fusion it sounds the same as ZX tune with the VGMs from some archive (can't remember if it was modland or Josh W's archive).

So glad you included Guile's theme in there. That's one of my favorite versions of the song. Could you do E. Honda's theme from the same game? Also with Saturday Night Slam Masters could you add the moscow theme?
If you check my channel I did a recording of the whole SF2: CE soundtrack, so that should make you happy. Also I will probably do Slam Masters' complete soundtrack sometime too.
Great project! I love it when people record the music properly and not use that crappy emulator sound. As for suggestions for a 2nd volume of this: Batman Returns has some amazing music, way underrated. Streets of Rage - Last Soul Sonic the Hedgehog - Final Zone Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Chemical Plant (heck, all sonic music is good) Thunder Force IV - Metal Squad - Stage 8 and many many many more!
1:23:38 I fantasized about running a Golden Axe show with my marching band, using the Death Adder theme as the capstone march; never happened, but would've been soooo epic!
@madmomentsgo hhhh i open the reply to answer him like youu so you did it first hh thank you . it too easy its our segaaaaaaaa your welcome bro from morocco
This is really cool stuff! I recently got my Japanese Mega Drive MB rev 2 recapped and have been recording via headphone jack and Mega Everdrive (using roms created using vgm player v3.30) and it's been an absolute blast, I can't believe I ever tolerated my oem Genesis model 2's sound, haha. Anyway, I thought it was cool that you record with real hardware and to keep at it!
Decap Attack Introduction Screen is much more worthy of showcasing the Genesis than the subpar Bonus Stage song. Just saying this because Decap Attack isn't that well known, so people might have been hooked from that song instead. Loved this list though, was a great listen while I worked on stuff!
If properly used, FM Sound (like we have on Mega Drive) can sound very cool. Why the heck is it, that FM Sound not so great, especially on old MS-Dos games?
I'll be honest: I didn't grow up with a genesis. The closest I got was the plug n play that had a few sega games on it, but that was only when I visited my mom during the summer. But dangit, the NES and Genesis soundchips made for some of the best-sounding music.
16 bit audible honey. Dripping with nostalgia. Been listening to this at work the whole time, knowing where most of these tracks are coming from by sheer memory alone! Lol I’m sure my coworkers would be giving me a funny ass look if they knew what I was actually listening to right now. ^_^

All of us who played on the Mega Drive or Genesis are friends.
Yup.
Don't leave us Mega Drive players out.
@Nhakunk yes, welcome 😁

I like NBA Jam's music a lot.
It feels good to see other SEGA gamers showing SEGA love. SEGA forever baby!!!
Mutant League and NBA Jam are my favs when it comes to music in sports games.
I am so tired of hearing remixes of Sega Genesis tunes. So glad to find this! Brings me back to the 90s.
It works with metal music though. I got a playlist of em.
For some people, the 16 bit console wars never ended. Remember, we are stronger together, no matter how much better the megadrive was ;)
AHAHAH the subtle disrespect. XD

The fact that I haven't played more than half these games speaks to how many amazing Genesis tunes are out there that I'll never even hear.

This was Sega at its best, and the peak rivalry with Nintendo. Though Super NES is better to me, Sega Genesis is no slouch.
The Genesis is faster that's what sega fans like.

It's really amazing how a real Mega Drive sounds!!! OMFG
new junk city sounds different to how I am used to. I know i have only listneded to emulated versions but this sounds like there are whole background tunes that aren't normally there? Surely emulation can't lose that completely? Or are the VGM files I listened to just messed up? But when i play it in fusion it sounds the same as ZX tune with the VGMs from some archive (can't remember if it was modland or Josh W's archive).
Damn, I need an arranged version of High Sky from El Viento, that's a bitchin' song.

HOLA! Soy fana de la morocha! Cuando empezó la Pandemia, encotré este video. Hece mucho q'escucho este compilado... Y NO ME CANSO DE ESCUCHARLO!!!! GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLO!!! ^_^
That's a goddamn good playlost someone should make a trio with a good bassist drummer synth guy to play those songs again
Best Genesis music imo:
Sonic 1-3
Outrun 2019
Rocket Knight Adventures
Road Rash II
(these are also my favorite Genesis games)
nice. mine:
Golden Axe 3
Sonic &kn...
comix zone
Is this recorded from YM2612 or from output? Output is different and with Low Pass Filter.
Came here from a "SNES Drunk"'s SNES music video after literally starting to feel sick from it. So much better.
Gotta love that funky genesis music, especially toejam and earl/sonic
I couldn't play the Genesis version of Jurassic Park at night because of the music. Freaked me out so bad.
I think you would be interested to record the same Sega 16-bit music in PAL 50 Hz. Some games better sound in PAL.
Excellent playlist with very cool tracks. But the "Valis" sounds TOOO FAST, fast as hell.
Jungle Strike - Intro sounds just like Crue Ball - Game Over music, that must have been the same guy who made that.
James Pond 3 - The Spirit Of An Angel! That has some good bass for the Genesis/Mega Drive's sound capabilities!
***** Ha! That's cool! :D
So glad you included Guile's theme in there. That's one of my favorite versions of the song. Could you do E. Honda's theme from the same game?
Also with Saturday Night Slam Masters could you add the moscow theme?
If you check my channel I did a recording of the whole SF2: CE soundtrack, so that should make you happy. Also I will probably do Slam Masters' complete soundtrack sometime too.
god the ristar one punched me in the fucking gut lmfao
Great project! I love it when people record the music properly and not use that crappy emulator sound.
As for suggestions for a 2nd volume of this:
Batman Returns has some amazing music, way underrated.
Streets of Rage - Last Soul
Sonic the Hedgehog - Final Zone
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Chemical Plant (heck, all sonic music is good)
Thunder Force IV - Metal Squad - Stage 8
and many many many more!
1:28:26 Comix Zone - Episode 2, Page 1-1
Sounds like a Coldplay song.
MUSHA and Dr. Robotnik's had such good music and are totally underrepresented usually. Good to see them here!!
The best genesis music of all metal squad from thunderforce IV is not in this video
This is the Ultimate Genesis Songs Collection
1:23:38 I fantasized about running a Golden Axe show with my marching band, using the Death Adder theme as the capstone march; never happened, but would've been soooo epic!
Why is this so awesome ?
@madmomentsgo hhhh i open the reply to answer him like youu so you did it first hh
thank you .
it too easy its our segaaaaaaaa your welcome bro from morocco
It’s the genesis bitch
It's cool as fuck to see the Genesis make it's mark out there too.
@nope not telling What Nintendon't. Seriously, the system had better everything imo.
Blast processing. What else could it be?
better than Mozart
8-bit and 16-bit music was incredible. I heard one on SNES last night that blew me away from. I'll edit this post and put in the name.
You didn't edit this post and put the name
1:57:34 -- TRUXTON -- You're moshing
Listened to the whole thing. Half of the music is good and half is meh. But thumbs up for the effort.
2:47:14 that rip though
A boss fight compilation would be pretty cool
My favorite is the El Viento track. It's so complex in its constitution, and yet so badass at the same time...
This is really cool stuff! I recently got my Japanese Mega Drive MB rev 2 recapped and have been recording via headphone jack and Mega Everdrive (using roms created using vgm player v3.30) and it's been an absolute blast, I can't believe I ever tolerated my oem Genesis model 2's sound, haha. Anyway, I thought it was cool that you record with real hardware and to keep at it!
Decap Attack Introduction Screen is much more worthy of showcasing the Genesis than the subpar Bonus Stage song. Just saying this because Decap Attack isn't that well known, so people might have been hooked from that song instead. Loved this list though, was a great listen while I worked on stuff!
2:08:39 will always be my favorite
Ah, Truxton. Hard as balls, but I keep coming back, the music being quite a part of that.
Play in 0.75% speed for UK retro experience... Aww the feels.
I really like that electronic music
If properly used, FM Sound (like we have on Mega Drive) can sound very cool. Why the heck is it, that FM Sound not so great, especially on old MS-Dos games?
There's a certain something about Sega genesis music I can only describe as 90s attitude in sound form.
Still the most badass console ever made.
How did you extract the sounds from the original games?
Great selection, great presentation. Thanks. Hope you get rich.
I'll be honest: I didn't grow up with a genesis. The closest I got was the plug n play that had a few sega games on it, but that was only when I visited my mom during the summer.
But dangit, the NES and Genesis soundchips made for some of the best-sounding music.
16 bit audible honey.
Dripping with nostalgia.
Been listening to this at work the whole time, knowing where most of these tracks are coming from by sheer memory alone! Lol
I’m sure my coworkers would be giving me a funny ass look if they knew what I was actually listening to right now. ^_^
I thought the same, but when i played it at work, people just started naming the games and some even asked where they could find this goodness. 😀
yo i was not prepared for robocop 3's title theme to go so hard
+ Points for Last Battle Boss, - Points for no Home Alone - Haunted House
Genesis music is so crunchy-I love it.
you should add more Jesper Kyd stuff, like Sub-Terrania and The Adventures of Batman and Robin, and something from Soleil maybe :D
+TheWaveringRadiant Check my channel, I have done the full soundtracks for AOBAR & Sub-Terrania
