Hi, love this thread! Thx for so many tips! I totally like the Outrun Magical Sound Shower, but I like the newer Version from Outrun 2 even more :D

And a song I also like is the the one in the first stage of Darius Gaiden:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTrscZyvPrM
`Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, `if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.'

PC:
Unreal
I expected this Unreal demo from 1993.
I have to say, your track MUST be inspired by this work I expected:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbyu3DJgD2I
It was made by the gods of the demo scene in the early nineties.

Thanks for the link Muerto. Do you still have your amiga or do you run emulation? I used to have a 500, too bad i sold it, so many great games!

back on topic:

This tune is also really great: Ninja Gaiden on the NES: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e23LwxQolpc

And another one of my favorites: Bonic Commando: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3rw8fe8vsE

Last one: Contra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGUrAtGjz7E

When I'm playing it, the congas part always remind me of Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye  ;)

I only played SOTB on the Atari Lynx and although I think it was the best looking game on the platform, it sucked COMPLETELY, because it was the buggiest game I've ever seen on the platform too !

Well, since we're talking games/music here I'll do another plug for Electroid's great CD Rebuilt:

http://www.electroidmusic.com/



Some great songs on there built on themes/sounds of some great videogames...

If you order, tell me I sent you and Sam may be so kind to send you a couple of bonus tracks (ask for the great Ms.Pac remix !)

By the way, it's only 12 USD INCLUDING world-wide shipping...
