....but the Megadrive's had soul dammit! I always had a fondness for Megadrive soundtracks. People often look at the SNES for quality 16-bit music but I reckon the Megadrive had a unique quality in its music that really makes it stand out. There is something about that screechy Yamaha YM2612 sound that really appeals to me.

Here is some of my personal favourites from various Megadrive games.

YouTube - Shinobi III Music - Izayoi
YouTube - Shinobi III Music - Japonesque
YouTube - Phantasy Star II Soundtrack 12 Advanced
YouTube - Sonic 2 Music: Metropolis Zone


And of course...

YouTube - Streets of Rage 2 Music - Go Straight (Stage 1-1)

So discuss your favourite Megadrive soundtracks. Hopefully you will all agree that I'm right.
