This is the OST to The Guardian Legend for the NES! But in my own form of Stereo! Which spreads the sound channels and adds a bit of echo/reverb. These mixes also do not represent true, original, or actual stereo that the NES has, this is just to make the music sound more clear and crisp, and is another way of listening to the greatness of 8Bit music. So enjoy this soundtrack in what I like to call, WiiGuy's 8Bit Stereo!! :D

Most criminally underrecognized NES game.
+stripedhyenuh REAL TALK!!!!
Agreed ❤
Let's keep it that way, and it wouldn't get as expensive that would fall into the unbuyable category. :p
MrNorbert1994
Haha! MJR already covered it in hidden gems episode 9 thousand 😂
Hell yes. Mario got literally hundreds of sequels and spinoffs, and this game was just... forgotten. I've seen the fan made remakes and I've been quite disappointed. I want a PS4 remake with some graphics. Something along the lines of Darkvoid but with a classic top down view would be amazing.
Amazing game. Loved how it portrayed a lost, somewhat dead world except for the creatures within such as the metroid series.
18:13
If someone is reading this... I must have failed.
This star "NAJU" was our home, but we were invaded by evil life-forms. Everyone except me was killed. I am going to try to activate the self-destruct device. If I fail, I would like you to do this task so this cannot happen to any other race. The self-destruct mechanism is protected by a safety device which is located in the underground corridors. Remove each seal and go deep inside NAJU. If you destroy all 10 safety devices,the self-destruct sequence will be activated.
I don't have much time. I hope this message will not be read by anyone... it will mean that I have failed.
Wierd what memories can do. Prompted by reading and remembering the first text.... it brought a tear to my eye. I think because the music was so overwhelming in atmosphere.
Hahaha.
I was either too impatient or too stupid as a kid to understand what this simple message was saying. I finished the entire game without understanding (or caring) why she was doing what she was doing.
Such a great game and back story! I always wanted a prequel so we could find out what led to the present!
So you kill all the shop keepers?
This and Crystalis were the two best NES games I ever played.
I have beaten The Guardian Legend 4 time's . And then I have beaten Crystalis only once .
Same. GL and Crystalis were my childhood.
SAME... loved both of those!
I would add destiny of an emperor to your list by capcom. They were my 3 best games on nes.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!! I thought that I was only one of the people who knew this game even existed! Thanks so much for this soundtrack! Now I don't have to play it to hear my fav tunes!...... Still will, but now can have it runnin in background while doin stuff!
were still here.. the ancient spirits play csgoes and diablos now.. sprits became weak
Хех)) я проходил эту игру в 91 году на денди)
This soundtrack is pure happiness and nostalgia. Thank you for making my horrible day much better.
This game has one of the most hauntingly beautiful ending themes ever.
fell in Love with Redheads,....and the rest is what you call History
AND.. you know what the ironic thing is about this game is.. the music and the gameplay doesn't get stale at all. and I should know!!.. I mean.. how many times have I played this for how many emulators for my time? even I can't count> but anyways.. this game is so cool I can't put it in any form of vocabulary that is decent..
I agree with every comment in this thread.
Hylian Fox, hello! I agree with you! I would add most of the soundtrack has haunted my mind for 3 decades! Hope you are doing well!
9:28 - Ughh... So good I could cry.
Yes. Feels like the weight of the mission is bearing down on you.
This is the best nes game ever created
.. I play it so many times... Now i m almost 33 years old😭😭... I wanna go back in '92!
My little brothers used to play this game all the time. I never quite took to this game (I already had my SNES at that point), but all these tunes are etched into my mind, now with a loving familiarity. I will have to get this game onto my NES Mini and finally see what all the rage is about.
este juego es una joya preciosa de nes y muy pocos lo conocen , sin mencionar que tenés a mi gusto un excelente soundtrack
One thing I wish this game would have done more with is the person that was there before you that unsuccessfully attempted to activate the self destruct. Who were they? Were they another Guardian? Were they a native to the planet? You never learn much about them, yet their recordings were the only clues you had about how to succeed on your mission. Your efforts were not in vain stranger, I picked up where you left off, and thanks to your clues, victory was achieved; the partner I never met.
Well said friend
/bow
The best NES game ever!!

Wow lots of childhood memories, I loved this game. It really was underrecognized.
My memories 😍
I don't care if this title never caught on, this game more than deserves a remaster. I would love to see a sequel. What if another alien planet threatens earth? The Guardian Legend Returns, someone make it happen!
This game deserves a remaster and a sequel.
The remaster is called Nier Automata or whatever that is. Basically a clone of this game with new graphics and innovations. But Guardian Legend was wayyyy ahead of its time. And the soundtrack is so memorable that it drags nostalgia tears out almost every time.
@@Bmetalful would you mind offering a bit more info as to why you think Nier is a clone? I own it and only played for a couple of hours. I would love to give it a second shot if you could explain how the two games are related.
Loved this game. Hrs advantage and the slow mo pause helped me beat many a boss in this game. Only bad thing was the massive password that if you messed up you could lose hours of play. That last boss took forever to kill.
God I love this music. T.G.L. was the first game I saved up and bought for myself at 10. I loved this game from start to finish. I knew NOTHING about it when I bought it other than "Transformer" LOL. Other people loved Samus, but THIS was my girl, lol. One of the greatest nintendo games ever and that opening music especially gets me hype.
Seriously one of the best NES soundtracks - easily one of the most complex ones as well. It doesn't hurt that this is not only one of the most fun NES games ever, but one of the very few where one can get more than 1/2 or so without needing cheats. This was truly ahead of its time by being easier than utterly brutal.
(and a few that I didn't like but loved the music for)
And the REAL beauty of it is the TGL mode that gets harder and harder each time you go through it, so if you're a super hardcore gamer, you can get that precious, precious adrenaline.
This is my favorite NES soundtrack for an entire game (rather than certain tracks per each game).
one of the best NES soundtracks!
4:55
5:55 My favorite theme
Sounds like a cool pop song.
One of the best NES games ever, must like :)
First memory was when I was 3 or 4 years old and seeing my brother play this game. Absolute gem!
This game was just.....two words.
Bad ASS!
Excellent music and combined games such as Gradius and Zelda into one with a ton of weapons and a challenging assortment of enemies as well as difficult bosses. The ending theme is a just awesome.
One game that I never got rid of and beat way too many times while never getting bored of it. Totally needs a remake of a second part added on todays systems.
Beat the game for the first time just now having owned it since i was a kid but never putting the effort in. Got inspired after looking up this ost just out of the blue. Definitely a gem in the NES library, clean design with minimal bs.
Soundtrack starting at 5:55 popped in my head 28 years later? How does that even work?
Me too. 15 years later
Same here
This game is so good. One of the best games that most people don't know about
this era was the era of good music.. no maps and pure memory
For those who don't know, we are currently developing remake of this game - The Guardian Legend: Legacy. Join us!
+Вячеслав Трубин This is my favorite game and I have been waiting a long time to play a remake of this game. I am also a game designer and was planning on remaking some of the older games. Please keep us updated.
Link?
Вячеслав Трубин Say what? Do you have a link? Need any help beta testing or anything I can do to help out?
Вячеслав Трубин Please be true, I grew up with one game and one game only, And that was The guardian legend. Please do a good job.
+Вячеслав Трубин sorry so delayed answers. We are still working on the remake. English version already available. You can download game launcher in our facebook group (you can find it by typing "the guardian legend legacy" or something like that in google).
I love it, 250 likes and no dislikes. This was and still is an amazing game. I loved the challenge that the tgl password provided.
これは今は亡きコンパイルが残した最高のゲームの一つ
ストーリーもシステムも、そしてBGMも当然素晴らしい
The best nes game.
When you wanna jam out to your favorite opening chip tune ever and put this on, but instead end up going on a journey of contemplating life, love, and existence while the vibrant harmonies and rhythmic majesty prove there is beauty within the human spirit which reminds you that all is not lost and that everything happens for a reason so coincidence cannot exist which in turn means that you were meant to be here to read this comment and know that you are loved and have so much to offer and it becomes simple in your mind and heart that love is the only way to truly know yourself and discover your purpose in this mortal life because you are appreciative of your opportunity to make the best of the life you've been graced by God with. ❤
Will listen again. 10/10.
Very atmospheric for a NES game, I love it!
This game needs a remake, NOW!
agreed.. the various russian remakes or fan games aren't all that great.. nice they pay tribute, but it's not what folks want. there's a lot to be built upon from the original.
I was so surprised for the awesomeness of this game the first time I played it. The US cover is so strange than the first time I saw it I thought it was a bad game. Now than I see the cover in this video I can't understand why they changed it. The game combines arcade shooter style with adventure style in a good way. Watching the original art I would think it's an anime based game, but how to know.
These are the best tracks are for me:
1-Area 0: Naju Gateway
2-Password/Escaping Naju
3-Corridors 1, 2, 11 & 12
4-Areas 1, 2, 5 & 7
5-Corridors 5, 8, 17 & 18
Another excellent contribution for 8BitStereo!!
Absolutely amazing soundtrack, both awesome and atmospheric, really helps convey the unique setting (which I wouldn’t mind seeing some kind of adaptation of). I admire your choice of the EU box art as well, it’s my favourite.
One of my favorite games as a kid! Thanks so much. Infect it has inspired one of my original guitar compositions. The Guardian Returns. Thanks for sharing this.
great game. for those that dont know or are new to playing this game, type TGL in the save game code. fun way to play through once you've beat the game.
I love this game, and often come back to listen to this video. I learned the protagonist name is Mirina, she deserves to be remembered in a remaster. The story, the beautiful music all deserve to be recognized.
Probably one of the best, if not THE best, NES soundtrack ever. It's also an awesome game. My bf in HS bought me my copy because he was sick of me constantly stealing his--I still have it, too.
+Fixerkitty I would say that Guardian Legend, Ninja Gaiden & Mega Man 2 are the top 3
Hey! Don't forget Pictionary!
Thank you so much for this. So awesome. This game and it's epic sound track helped shape the person I have become :)
I will never forget how much fun and challenging this game is, even in my youth i still have all the songs locked in my mind forever
I Can't Thank You Enough WiiGuys, For Posting Some Of The Greatest Retro Games Soundtracks !
One of the best NES game's ever . I have completed the game 4 time's .
Wow what a punch right in the nostalgia! This game was soooo under rated. It's a very good game.
omfg, you even did TGL. THANK YOU!
Edit: This is bringing new life into these soundtracks :)
One of my favorites NES game right here.....Classic =)
NYKgjl10 should have been included in the nes classic
I express my gratitude for sharing the soundtrack. Though I was not good at this game, I enjoy the music immensely to this day.
Dope classic...memorable music. It was a great feeling back in the day when I finally ended it
This is the best game i ever played on nintendo back in '92...i ll see if i find the console on amazon and this game... I ll pay even 100£... Cheers for 90's gamers there!
Got this on eBay for € 19, PAL version. It shouldn't be too pricey.
So much memories of this game...
This game and soundtrack are definitely under appreciated. I feel like this game and Faxanadu never get the respect they deserve.
This had to be one of the best games I've ever owned as a child.
This game was always sad to me, from the messages left behind to the main character herself, but it spawned the best soundtrack and game of NES. That and Megaman 2 as well as Ninja Gaiden 2
This game deserves way more attention than it has ever gotten
Ok, first of all, I love this game. Second of all, i love the BGM for Corridor 5, 6, 15, and 16. And listening to it in stereo... I have no words to describe my feelings. All I can do is confirm that The Guardian Legend is an epic game, with an absolutely epic soundtrack to go with it. For anyone of you who haven't played it yet, you really should try it. It is awesome. One of the greatest NES games that I know of. :)
Always loved the soundtrack to this game. Nostalgia overload.
I was playing this game before I knew english language at all, so that was like the age of 4-7 or so, you can imagine I had no clue what the game was about but I remember it quite well anyways. I remember also figuring out a random "cheat code" by accident which seemed very unlikely but it stuck with me through all these 20+ years.
Exactly the same, got stuck at half of game. 20 years late i know the name of this game.
amazing game with incredible music,thanks for posting osts of old games
Não canso de elogiar seu trabalho, meu jogo preferido nos NES 8 Bit!!
Meus parabéns!
My first game. Absolutely epic.
Vincenzo Bua mine too
The game of an unknown legend.
Thanks to the creators and thank you for gathering these tunes of this game that exploded the game industry.
Great upload, description, and quality, man. Thanks for the effort.
Thank you for acknowledging my efforts! ^^
I can honestly say this my favorite game of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there was one very similar but better. i could never find it. after so much searching. almost as if it never existed :( but yea, this one THE MASTERPIECE
This game was two games in one, pretty uncommon for a NES game at the time.
Reminds me of my childhood where the only thing on my mind after I got home from school was to play kick ass games like The Guardian Legend/ Guardic Gaiden!
OMG I played this game so many hours 20 years ago. ty for upload
Thank you for the upload! This is fuel for my soul!
10/10 para el juego, 10/10 la música. Esperando que algún día ocurra el milagro y sea llevado a las nuevas consolas.
OMG! its been years many years since I've heard this thank you for having it!
What an overlooked game with fantastic tunes
sound track is one of the top 20 on the nes . Here is a little unkown fact about this game this was release for the arcade with no slow down as far as I could tell. It was shocking to see an arcade cab of this game and no it was not a hack. Wish I would had the money to buy it and send the board out to mame.
Thanks for making these man! So much better than a playlist with different qualities and occasional commercials.
YES YES YES. EPIC OST! GLAD YOU UPLOADED. this guy thnks you!
Love the game and it is very underrated and a hidden gem, one thing you must know that there is one boss in the of the forest zones that is literally in all senses Over Powered, trust, you'll know why after you get a single hit from one of those long seaweed like stems that it spits out in a single line.
one of the forest zones* -_- damn typos
I hated the Blue Optomon too. I think I celebrated when I first beat it, close to 30 years ago.
Corridor 3 boss. Yep.
Thanks for this soundtrack , my journey to the past is on.
Masterpiece 😍😍😍
does anyone else remember when nintendo had imagination and balls?
One of my all time favorite NES games! Way ahead of it's time with how massive the world was. Damn those 60 character passwords though lol. 17min to 18 min are great boss fight songs
The Guardian Legend: Shadow of Naju - fan sequel on PC
17:41 this melody totally nightmare for me
Simply lovely.
this music is just like out of this world! it's very addicting and hooks you, thank god this was my childhood :)
Thanks for this soundtracks.!!!
You bet ;D
The music is great and it seems to go along well with the environment of the stage.
It was games like this and the ninja gaiden original trilogy that got me into video game music. I remember my aunt playing guardian legend in the early 90s, some of the enemy's would creep me out like that Cyclops fish boss in one of the stages but my that music tho lol!
This truly was an amazing game.
04:55 is a fucking BOP.
Best soundtrack.
Dude, thanks for posting all of this. And THANK YOU for the download link. Fuckin' awesome. (Typed this while listening to Snake's Revenge, Jungle Infiltration theme FUCK YEAH). (grin)
God... DAMNIT DO I LOVE THIS SOUNDTRACK!
Favorite music is Corridor 9, 19, 20 and 10. Sounds like the beginning of the end!
@22:43 one of the best NES songs ever! I'd stall on the password screen just to listen to it...
Same here. Words can't describe how that music makes me feel. Like music from another universe.
Same here. This is my favorite tune, probably across all NES games. I find it hard to convey how it makes me feel. The fact the password screen is a different color based on whether you're getting a password (afternoon) or entering one (morning) is a nice touch too. But hearing it when going back into space is another feeling entirely.
Right in the childhood!
The memories this song is so soothing gets me thinking of life
Best videogame cover EVER.
AMG this is such a great intro song. The game kept me entertained for ever one of my faves.
21:30 best final boss music ever!
Final corridor, but yes, best ever.
ty. for letting me enjoy this again. forgot them. ty
Enjoy it even better with the download link version, much better quality! ;D
I must now go to my local Disc Replay and see if they have this game!! I have to play it again! it has been a LONG time since I played this Masterpiece!! Thank you
Gotta love the boxart. The music tells the tale around it.
A few of the songs were lifted from the soundtrack of the original Guardic. That's cool.
