This song gets a pretty large boost by being the only NES track here, but it's a long way from being one of my favorite NES songs... and obviously it's even further down the list if we factor in games from other systems. (my favorites in no particular order: Anything from Chrono Cross, Undertale, MM8, or anything composed by Tim Follin ; also the GameBoy theme from Robocop, which doesn't fit any of the above criteria but is arguably better than any of them)

((Those of course just being favorite non-vocal songs. Vocally I'd take...just about anything from a Sonic game, any of Transistor's lyrical songs, or possibly "Walk On Vanity Ruins" from Silent Hill 3 as an oddball choice. No one else liked that song, but it was so unlike anything else that I heard, that it may actually have been my favorite song from that Reverse Ranking topic.))

There are parts of this song that I enjoy--the brief outro is particularly Tim Follin-esque--but too much of the song is ruined by the loud, monotone beeping. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, all spaced exactly the same distance apart. They make it impossible to focus on anything else during those segments, give me a headache, and come close to completely tanking the song's ranking... but I can't hate anything that's this unique or even vaguely reminds me of Tim Follin, so it winds up here.

[FINAL NOTES: I should probably listen to more music from games published by Ocean. The games suck, but the Robocop Theme and Unusued Song 2 from The Flintstones movie game are both amazing, and I've heard Ocean games described as "terrible gameplay, amazing music". I should probably give more songs by them a choice.]
