been playing some games lately, grown up with big n´s creations only, i did kind of miss out on some sega gems. i know epic is raving about sonic and im gettin into it since i have it running at the correct resolution. currently also playing blades of vengeance. a slightly horrific fantasy action game with just the right setting for the season. tried contra hard corps, but i need some chemical vitamins to keep up with the pace of this one. anyway skimming through some roms i couldnt help but be amazed at the synth sound of the games, you know that pitch bending note sliding metallic sounds. love that. |

I was pretty much a computer gamer right out the womb but we did have a genesis. the games I mostly played were mortal kombat 1 (1 was better on genesis, the rest on SNES), road rash, toejam and earl, and sonic 1. Oh, and sonic pinball. Toejam and earl was my favorite of those as a game, but sonic 1 probably has the best soundtrack to any game ever. It still sounds completely unique, especially the doctor robotnic themes. |

one thing i havent been able to overcome in sonic is losing all rings on touch, feels so weird, but its a fun game, as you say the music is pretty damn good and unique as is overall gamedesign. ran toejam and earls start scrreen and demo yesterday before going to sleep. i ve seen the characters on pictures but i had no idea it was acid in cartridge form. gotta get back to this one... |

gargoyles looks great too. if only el viento and alien 3 were decent games, cause the music is just incredible. |

Sonic 1 was like a perfect 10 in music and aesthetic design and like a 5/10 in gameplay. The rings were a part of the problem, yeah. I think I was just spoiled by Mario as far as platformers go. Mario 3 was my favorite, and world, but even in 1985 the first one handled (control wise), better than any other platformer I played as a kid. (others I remember trying: Kid Chameleon, Earthworm Jim, Mega man. I don't count Metroid, it's its own thing). Sonic just didn't play as well as Mario and I knew it in my bones. It wasn't till Super Meat Boy in like 2010 that I found another 2d platformer that I liked as much. |

i dunno, sonic 1 had losing yr rings as part of the gameplay, holding on for 50+ to get to the special stage was part of the charm. sonic 2 and sonic 3+knuckles made the special stages more integral to "winning" in the end, sonic 1 was more built for speedruns. i prefer 2 and 3+K too, but the music is superb in all 3 games |

started some more games yesterday in demo mode, just to run along going to bed.. when all of a sudden: Mutant League Football on Sega Genesis came out as a total banger and i thought that sounds like some badass rock riffs in AM/FM. And reminds me of the amazing Black Knight Pinball sound. Intro credtits showed Brian Schmitt actually Brian L. Schmidt. His friends prolly call him Schmittie if you know him. Anyway... Already ripped some of his Pinball compositions from Virtual Pinball. Virtual Pinball really doesnt play that great, but you can run any real rom the virtually any existing pinball machine on the planet and get a clean rip of its sound and music. and that what i did some years ago and listened to those tracks everywhere. so, heres to great AM FM Synthesis programmer and composer Brian Schmidt, along Dan Forden. They´re stunners. |

heres some great pinball music for 30 days only, grab em now or regret it later. most of those files were originally 15 second snippets ripped from aforementioned V-Pin Software to play according to your advancement in the game. i glued them together as how i imagined them to be as complete songs. May the composers forgive me. |
