| CrashMan said: What are some of you your favorite 8-bit games that had great music, despite the technological limitations. I would have to say (not suprisingly) Mega Man 2 in particular, but all the Mega Man games in general. I am really amazed at what Capcom was able to do with 2 Square waves, a triangle wave and a noise chan. |
Megaman 2 is awesome. If you really want to be impressed by how much musical depth can be achieved by a pair of square waves and a triangle wave, download the music from the Japanese Final Fantasy 2 (for the NES/Famicom).
Gauntlet was always one of my favorites. Some groovy stuff going on there.
Ninja Gaiden 2 had the best opening music of any NES game.
The Battle of Olympus had some great ancient-sounding music.
The Guardian Legend gets the adrenaline pumping every time.
