Still love every song on this game. Instantly transfers me back to that kid mastering everything there was to master on MK II. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug!
Matt Furniss, this guy is just unbelievable, he did understand the essence and translated it to perfection using genesis capacity to the max ... feel those beats, bass, and what about those "dark asian" instruments and rhythms. All these factors really make justice to the name of the game when you listen to every track.
I seen in an interview he said he did not even use the extra PSG soundchip at all which would have added extra sounds for layering, that is even more impressive that his music sounded so good.
I used to play MK2 when I was a child and I didn't know how the music is different for the arcade version. But I grew up listening to the Mega Drive OST and like this version so much!
If matt furniss worked on ultimate mk 3 soundtrack... man it would've been a killer. Matt furniss always maked sure that the genesis/mega drive sounds clean and good that people like. Every soundtrack he did in genesis/mega drive impresses me and never disappoint
@Benjamin Owuye Jagun Yea, we're all humans and not perfect. Edit: I checked the megalomania soundtrack, and i can say that it sounds pretty average. Really can see that Matt wasn't that experienced with chiptunes at that time
That’s the danger of it! I loved all that garbage, but Satan was a musician before he fell. He lures us away from Christ through the entertainment industry.
HisVirusness well we are all led to emulate our fathers. If we truly recognize God as our father, though not perfect this side of heaven, our lives will be marked with love, truth, self sacrifice, humility, gentleness, and patient endurance. If you want to know what life is like following Satan, look no further than Hollywood. It’s a life of lies, perversion, destroyed families and marriages, unnatural acts, selfishness, brutality, blood drinking, and everything that is taking this nation down. Do you truly think that’s all cool? Don’t lie to yourself friend. We are accountable for every wicked thing we do unless we trust Christ to take our punishment onto himself. I’m glad you replied.
22:15 This noise that came with the fatality always used to scare my little sister especially when we were playing at night LOL..I think this was the best of the arcade Mortal Kombat -you can tell they put so much love into this game the sounds are so fitting and amazing and even with the Sega Genesis it somehow makes it more grittier and scarier
To me it feels half arsed. Don't get me wrong I like this version of the game but we all know the md was capable of more. Probe weren't a great developer.
That is pretty much what comes to my mind when I see real life tragedy (a corpse full of blood, etc), oh and let us not forget the blood dropping from each letter of "FATALITY" sound effect.
when my dad got me this for christmas 1994, this shit literally scared me every night. the new toasty guy that appears after you inter the cheat code left down left right down right left left right right ... yeah and noob saibot terrorized my poor 10 year old mind as well. now at 34 i have nothing but love and respect for ed boon and john tobias aka noob saibot
Another excellent sountrack composed by Matt Furniss. I myself prefer the first Mortal Kombat's soundtrack on the Mega Drive. Nothing beats that percursion! Matt Furniss was with the best in YM2612 music making!
Comes again to hear this fantastic soundtrack during my job... Matt's re-arranges sound so much Dark and "Gothic" than the original. PERFECT for the vibe of this game! Thank you again Dustin!
BIGGIEDEVIL In no way am I delusional, it's just my opinion. It's ok if you don't like the Sega Genesis MK2 soundtrack and that you like the arcade soundtrack better. Calling it complete shit, not really. It's really a great unique rearranged soundtrack, Matt Furniss did an amazing job with the music.
23:47 is used in the game, for Mileena and Shang Tsung's Friendship. 23:51 is unused, but the music is called "Goodnight Ladies" in case anyone was wondering.
i think people will agree with me on this one.that the fatality theme on this game is the most disturbing, creepy and devilish tune in all mortal kombat history.it still gives me the chills after 20 years
In retrospect, I like the direction Matt Furniss took for the music -- the Sega version of MKII definitely had unique feel. Overall I actually prefer the Genesis game over the Arcade version 😂
It's a football chant from the UK! Aimed at a player with a two-syllable name when they scored a goal, originally for a player with the name of Cyril, thus the lyrics were: "Nice one, Cyril, nice one, son, Nice one, Cyril, let's have another one"
O felling desta versão vc imagina bem o lance do oriental, do suspense e da luta. Embora a qualidade digital seja um pouco inferior à de sua rival japonesa, deixo meus parabéns à SEGA pela lapidação melódica e rítmica da obra-prima noventista de Ed Boon, John Tobias e companhia.
The genesis soundchip and just the droning bass that was able to be produced for these versions is absolutely fantastic, really fits the mood of the game! Love this version so much, I truly think the dead pool stage on the genesis is the best version of the track
Thank you, Dustin for another great ost compilation. Really a great surprise. This ost is an example how the GEMS sound engine in the appropriate hands can provide an excellent sound. It is not only the music... the huge amount of diferent sound patches, voices, etc, added tho the music is something astonishing.
Late answer, but this doesn't use GEMS. It uses a custom sound driver, that Matt Furniss used for all of his genesis/mega drive soundtracks. I think you know this already, since your comment is 2 years old.
@@joyridergt No need to be embarrased for not knowing something. But yea, MK3 used GEMS. It sounds good too. Reason being, Dan Forden had experience with fm synth already. He used the arcade Ym 2151 chip when he composed music on MK1 arcade version.
@@tammura22letsplays The great part on running GEMS is by the sound banking capability that provides full set of audio pcm samples stored in the ROM available for ingame sound playing... SNES for example only had 64kb available for sampled instruments + voices for ingame playing and ned to stop the game to refresh its audio ram.
@@joyridergt Yea GEMS is really good. Sadly, it never showed as much compared to other sound drivers on the genesis. Lazy composers gave it a bad name, which it didn't deserve. There are few or more good GEMS soundtracks out there, but not enough to show how good it is. The best GEMS soundtrack for me is comix zone, beacuse it pushes the limit of that sound driver quite good. It has some of the best guitars ever heard on the system, really good piano etc. And overall great tracks.
I have fond memories of the living forest theme. I’d start the match and immediately trip my opponent repeatedly and hear the end music before the theme starts to really pick up, lol
С папой впервые в компьютерной комнатке справа от вокзала у Элекпера пожилого мужика , познакомился с этой игрой ) Рептилию зелёным называли ) С папой сыграл ) Это было ещё до того как я получил сегу , вместе с которой первый картридж был именно МК3 ) Я ещё тогда переживал что Кэно Соню ножом колол ) А когда вырос узнал , что они действительно были настоящими )
It’s not that the arcade music is different, the wrong themes are played on the stages so it sounds different. The Kombat Tomb theme wasn’t on Genesis. Dead Pool arcade ==> Dead Pool Genesis Kombat Tomb arcade ==> missing Wasteland arcade ==> Wasteland, Pit 2, and Kahn’s Arena Genesis Tower arcade ==> Kombat Tomb Genesis Living Forest arcade ==> Living Forest Genesis Pit 2 arcade (Wasteland) ==> Pit 2 Genesis Armory arcade ==> Armory Genesis Portal (Kahn’s Arena) arcade ==> Tower Genesis Kahn’s Arena arcade ==> Tower Genesis This shuffling gives it a different sound. In early versions on MK2, the Tower theme was used on the Pit 2
I think is a good idea get together the finishers/ends w the original to complete the entire OST to make more dynamic and atmosferic. Please, do that and finally i'll hear a masterpiece in a unique way w high quality, like this.
snes is better (in some ways) its closer to the arcade version and yes, played all the 2 versions back to back but the mega drive 1. no real voice acting "fatality" or the players names. snes version they screem if it really is hurding them. the mega drive? "oh!" only that. but all in all? the pc version beats the super nes and mega drive fully.

the megadrive, master system and game gear version is composed by mad.
the arcade, super nintendo and game boy versions are composed dan forton
This was the version I grew up with and it feels so much darker than other versions.
+Yuzoboy yeah me 2, i likes 2 the best out the 3 versions, mk2 made my childhood awsome
i agree i think the megadrive version of the ost was miles ahead of the arcade version
+tony82122 This was partly due to Matt Furniss. Excellent sound producer.
Outstanding
Something way more sinister with the Genesis ost. That happens with Altered Beast as well.
I can remember Christmas morning waking up and playing MK 2 along with Sonic 2! Good times!
Talk about two games with completely opposite tones especially regards to the two soundtracks lol
@@godspeedmaximus Dude! Same combo of games! Also got the old Power Rangers fighting game.
@@L8R_SpaceCowboy cool!
Same here love them both 😊💗
My parents gave me my Genesis on 1994 Christmas. This was the first game I ever had, and the memories are so awesome...
10:06 The drums are incredible !
Also on 3:30
The best tune for me 6:37 Long Life to SEGA and Mortal Kombat 2!!!
David Arriola 4:07 banger
thats actually badass af
Yeah, Wasteland was the best. The MKT version sounds cleaner but I like the drums better on this

The Deadpool danger is actually fire
The best OST of all MKII ports. Love the sinister dark mood this version has. 🖤 🔥
sega's bass is just magestic
4:07 Spiritually made for the Genesis
Ya it actually sounds better than the arcade version. But the arcade version of living Forrest just can't be beat. Same with courtyard from MK1
Tower theme
I used to play MK2 when I was a child and I didn't know how the music is different for the arcade version. But I grew up listening to the Mega Drive OST and like this version so much!
13:22 Living Forrest was one of my favs. But I love all of it and MK1 aswell

@@jeremym9011 matt furniss is very well with this chip, but, the máster of Masters is yuko koshiro.....

ahh, bumpin Wasteland again :)
Somehow this version of the soundtrack sounds even better than the actual original soundtrack.
Amiga version sounds much better...
@@Baseqq Bro ❤. I didn’t even know about that soundtrack. Loving the differences and how trippy they sound
Agreed
agreed
Comes again to hear this fantastic soundtrack during my job...
Matt's re-arranges sound so much Dark and "Gothic" than the original. PERFECT for the vibe of this game!
Thank you again Dustin!
And yet here I am in 2021. Listening to this fantastic OST. Had to beg my neighbor to play this game. Good times.
My childhood right here 💜
Matt furniss=super genius😃
I want to see matt doing music for games again😢😢
4:07 the best!
I agree
Es una pasada!!!
The programmers does miracles with the Yamaha FM ship
The music of Mortal Kombat 1 & 2 on the Sega Genesis rocks. The Arcade and SNES versions don't even come close of sounding this amazing.
Your delusional! The arcade set the standard this is just complete shit no where near the arcade sound
Nah it sounds good.
BIGGIEDEVIL
In no way am I delusional, it's just my opinion. It's ok if you don't like the Sega Genesis MK2 soundtrack and that you like the arcade soundtrack better. Calling it complete shit, not really. It's really a great unique rearranged soundtrack, Matt Furniss did an amazing job with the music.
Funny how some people judge things in a very binary way sometimes. It's either the very best or complete shit.
andyukmonkey Just the way things are now, I'm afraid.
from:40-1:18 that song is fuckin sick, when you're going to choose a player
23:47 is used in the game, for Mileena and Shang Tsung's Friendship.
23:51 is unused, but the music is called "Goodnight Ladies" in case anyone was wondering.
I guess 23:51 is Nice One, Cyril.
I can hear the announcer saying, “FIGHT!” in my head at the beginning of each stage song.
And me! Hahaha
Real fucking drums!
what a tuneeee.. .dammnnn!! So after 20 years i'm still listening it!
23:51 Nice one Cyril. Nice one son. Nice one Cyril. Let's have another one........repeat (UK Football Chant)
The little downside of the Genesis port is the lack of voice samples, but over than that, the soundtrack kicks ass.
I love most the fact that basically each port has it's own, distinct soundtrack and I love them all! Because I played them all as a child, haha.
I grew up to these tracks on Sega, hands down the best.!!
The Dead Pool tune is the best!
6:36 is freaking amazing, real drums...
I have to subscribe to your channel as a music producer and songwriter, AND most importantly a lover of video games
i think people will agree with me on this one.that the fatality theme on this game is the most disturbing, creepy and devilish tune in all mortal kombat history.it still gives me the chills after 20 years

Agreed
incredible been a long time since i head this but its all coming back to me like it was yesterday
4:07 is where たわごと gets real...love the beat.. like a snake coming up out of the grass
Genesis sound is cosmic
Best description
i always felt that as child playing some games at genesis, sounds like cosmic terror and doom, contrary to snes who sounds more "cute"
The intro song and wasteland are so good
The best MK OST and the BEST version of it too. I'll fight ANYONE.
The DEFiNiTiVE 'Character Select' theme for MKII. Really gave the game a dark feel from the outset. They got it so wrong on the SNES.
+BEastmix i like both. character select and battle map always seemed to be the highlights of the snes MK soundtracks.
Meh, the first two amiga mk2 tracks are epic. Blow this shit and the snes out the water.
It's an arranged version of the original Kombat Tomb stage. Got much better.
SNES just emulated the Arcade music. It was okay.
Genesis realized that it isn't an arcade machine, and made something new, and great.
mk 2 sounds alot better on genesis than snes
+Charles Bush all MKs do.
+Charles Bush I gotta agree
agree
+Charles Bush but arcade version sounds better than all
+Charles Bush that character select screen and the ladder i love it
My favorite MK VG in the MK series and for the Genesis. It has that eerie and darkness to it which I like!!
4:07 my favorite )
yeaahhh
Шипы
4:07 the Best for me 💀
I’m probably having an unpopular opinion, but this version of mk2 is better than every other one.
I was in 1st grade and would run home from school to play this on Genesis.
I love this game. It's one of my personal favorites.
Dark soundtrack I love it 🔥
23:51 so THATS the song that played when I tilted the cartridge
It's a football chant from the UK! Aimed at a player with a two-syllable name when they scored a goal, originally for a player with the name of Cyril, thus the lyrics were:
"Nice one, Cyril, nice one, son,
Nice one, Cyril, let's have another one"
"Battle Map" is my favorite theme. Mean SK should make a beat out this.

15:30 banging of the drums are amazing. And the thunderous sound.
best audio upload ever!
This is the first MK i had. Ahhh!!!!.... what a memories with my MD2 at 50hz.
love this port the music is so damn sweet
And Armory, boy this brings me back to my childhood !!
Gracias por subir esta maravilla!!! ❤️
best console ost.
23:52 Goodnight Ladies
Those drum samples are clean
The genesis soundchip and just the droning bass that was able to be produced for these versions is absolutely fantastic, really fits the mood of the game! Love this version so much, I truly think the dead pool stage on the genesis is the best version of the track
Best main menu theme and character selection theme ever.
brings back memories all the way to learning moves and doing fatalities and write them in our game diary, this is cool man... I appreciate your work!!
This was my favorite of all of them.
The storyines in MK were like my bible, as a kid
+CosmicUndeadElf same lol

I love it 01:24
just bought this in mint condition for 27 euros.........childhood saved
by the way! Track from 4:06 is like a deadth sentence is starting..........

This version sounds more menacing the snes sounds like a children's xylophone
A melhor versão é do mega, as músicas são bem melhores e nítidas.
I still have the genesis cart of this game with my Genesis 3 and a few other physical carts. First time I played this was back in the mid 90's

Dude bro, mad respect. oooooh even got the hidden tracks I see. Bro, mad respect for dat bro. mad. .mad respect bro for that.
It’s not that the arcade music is different, the wrong themes are played on the stages so it sounds different. The Kombat Tomb theme wasn’t on Genesis.
Dead Pool arcade ==> Dead Pool Genesis
Kombat Tomb arcade ==> missing
Wasteland arcade ==> Wasteland, Pit 2, and Kahn’s Arena Genesis
Tower arcade ==> Kombat Tomb Genesis
Living Forest arcade ==> Living Forest Genesis
Pit 2 arcade (Wasteland) ==> Pit 2 Genesis
Armory arcade ==> Armory Genesis
Portal (Kahn’s Arena) arcade ==> Tower Genesis
Kahn’s Arena arcade ==> Tower Genesis
This shuffling gives it a different sound.
In early versions on MK2, the Tower theme was used on the Pit 2
Thank you so much for doing MK2!!! Such a great soundtrack but I also think the sound and drumming of MK1 on Genesis is superior to any MK ;)
Yep. The drums were...Outstanding
Masterpiece
13:22 Living Forest tribal ost
