    Rayxanber's soundtracks are so unbelievably good, I've never even played the game but this track makes me want to ascend to a higher plane of existence

    • @thomasmacdonough288
      @thomasmacdonough288 Рік тому +2

      So I've played the game and I can confidently say that the shooting sound completely ruins the soundtrack and makes me want to tear my ears off

    • @Godsgood111

      ​@@Godsgood111
      Haha it's all good, Rayxanber II I found to be perfectly playable, albeit about with a difficulty curve equal to slamming my head into a brick wall. That said though my foray into the PCE has definitely lead me to some gold mines both in music and gameplay, even games not on this vid like Macross 2036 and Xak III I've been enjoying recently. It really is a superb console.

    • @benjib2691
      @benjib2691 Рік тому +7

      CD-ROM² and Super CD-ROM² games uses RedBook CD audio for their soundtrack, so the quality is awesome. But even without the CD addon, I find the PC Engine sound chip quite capable. It has its own unique audio signature within the 16-bit generation.

  • @JasonWardStudios
    @JasonWardStudios 4 роки тому +5

    Good list! TG16 CD and Super CD was the king of music in the late 80's and early 90's by far! Red label CD quality music vs. 8 and 16 bit chips, there was no comparison! I loved my TG 16 Super CD system. The system was also king of the shooters in that same time period hand down! But games like Dungeon Explorer II and Neutopia II were gems! Sad that you don't have Langrisser on the list, but with only 30 spots, you gotta select your favorites!

  • @IdentityCrisis1581

    the music for Last Armageddon has to be the most unfitting music I've heard in a video game for a long time :D The music is really great, but doesn't fit the game at all :D Hadn't heard Super Raiden music before, daaaayum. Pretty damn awesome.

      @nimbylive 7 років тому +8

      I don't know your knowledge or comfort with it is, but just emulate it. As old as these games are you are certainly not keeping money out of the makers' hands. I've got a few running on a raspberry pie, but a PC can play all of these games just fine. You'll need the bios file, but google is your friend for all of this.

    • @ShamanNoodles
      @ShamanNoodles 2 роки тому +1

      Get a PC Engine CD(the Japanese version of the console). It's much cheaper and can play American game CDs. You can also play burned games without modding the system, as it has no copyright protection 🙂

    The first two were pretty awful but things picked up nicely after that. Shadow of the Beast & Valis 2 were some pretty awful games. Valis 3 was infinitely better than 2. Lol also not sure why but Valis always reminded me of La Blue Girl.

    Shadow of the Beast sounds too poppy. The Amiga original sound better. Maybe it's just nostalgia though.
