    Nothing beats Tim Follin though.

      Follins and his brother Geoff are great. I own pristine copies of both of those games just because of his soundtrack.

      Here’s another random one from around that time period. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

      That said, he had a very strong prog rock sensibility and and sometimes the music didn’t really fit the game very well. He’s said he typically would just compose something he wanted because they had nothing to show him to give him direction.

      Here’s a funk theme by the two brothers from Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade’s Revenge. That entire soundtrack is the most '70s infused one on the Super NES.

      He kept composing into the 2000s. He did a really atmospheric track for the Dreamcast Ecco the Dolphin game. This is a nice one.

      Those are awesome. It doesn’t quite reach those heights, but I was always fond of the opening theme from Ski or Die.

        I like this one too! I had never heard it before. I grew up with a Sega Master System and Mega Drive so there’s a of NES/SNES games I’ve never played.

    Such an absolute epic soubdtrack. Actually all the SoR games were great.

    Same composer as Revenge of Shinobi which is also fantastic. I guess somebody released the soundtrack on vinyl?

    Lots of bangers in this post; is there a good Lemmy community for 8- & 16-bit game music?
