Oh yeah for proper composer credits: Noted! - 220 / 5330 Pokmon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team - Magma Cavern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaMre9vbkvw Arata Iiyoshi Paratroopa1 I know this song from Blue Rescue Team (the DS version). This is the GBA version, which is just the DS version but with crunchier audio. Thats not inherently a bad thing, but maybe its the link but I have a hard time not getting a bit of a headache from all the crunch. The GBA is a weird soundchip in that part of the appeal for some fans is its crunchy audio. There are soundtracks where thats definitely true for me, but I dont think this song in particular is one of them. That said, Magma Cavern is still a great track, like so much of PMD1! The melody is terrific and the overall arrangement is stellar. The DS version would do much better, but I know the nominator wanted to give a shoutout to the GBA, which is perfectly fine, but for me at least the crunch is too overpowering. Sorry! - 219 / 5321 Space Harrier (SMS) - Battle Field https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyZLi4dBKsQ Hiroshi Kawaguchi Fluttershy_Pony I think the Master System/Game Gear soundchip is pretty underrated. Even among chiptuneheads I dont ever see it getting discussed. But here we have this song, an SMS version of an arcade classic, and itmostly works? Some of the notes are reeeeally high-pitched in kind of an unpleasant way, but the core melody is still there. As arrangements go its not bad, but Id probably rather always listen to the original. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
