Ready for some more great music from average or underrated games? Let's focus on the 16-bit consoles - primarily the SNES and the Sega Genesis but also the TG-16/PC Engine.

Here are 10 soundtracks from less notable games that make great use of their hardware!

From what i've watched, Sonic Crossworlds racing is great n' all, but damn I would much rather see some deep-cuts versus guest characters.
I want to see a celebration here! Gimme that good shit, Phantasy Star, Comix Zone, Shining Force, Ristar, Fighting Vipers, Vectorman, etc!

Did a little doodle of what I picture when you start a game of Ristar and he goes "play with me?"

Hastily sketched ristar, doing the :3 face and pointing his fingers together coyly. He doesn't have legs or anything but it's early leave me be

Nintendo actually made commercials bashing on sega games but they were so FUCKING mean to Ristar that it made Ristar cry so they pulled all their ads and it's lost media now.

Ristar has one of the great soundtracks of the mid 1990s!

Ristar - Star Humming

I kinda appreciate how this sounds like standard victory music until about 12 seconds in where it just goes wild, the synth and vocal tracks kick in, some trumpet solo at :58 in, its a fun goodie bag #vgm

These four right here. Honorable mentions: Chrono Trigger, Ristar, EJ2, Virtua Racing 32x.

🎵DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYTONA!🎵

Box art for the Sega Saturn game 'Daytona USA' The Arcade SMASH Hit! A game played in all its 20fps (maybe) glory untold number of times.

Box art for the PC game 'Portal 2,' a game I like to revisit at least once a year or so. 1) for the excellent story 2) for the excellent soundtrack 3) Cave Johnson. Additional note to the reader. The main portion of 'The Part Where He Kills You' was my phones ringtone for like....2-3 years?

Box art for the Turbografx-16 version of Final Lap Twin, which is a curious game as there is a Formula-1 racing campaign component which is main focus but then there is the Quest mode. This mode was the one where I spent most of my time in my multiple replays. It's a...racing JRPG. Run around the map racing enemies, earning cash to level up your car. Increase your stats to then race the local town champions for their secret parts until you are ready to face the final challenge. A fun rainy day weekend game with a terrible password system (32 character with upper, lower, number, symbols?!?)

Box art for the Sega Genesis game The Revenge of Shinobi. The gameplay, the music, the cheeky trademarked characters as bosses. Early Genesis gaming perfection.

I need to make time to play Ristar again. I have very fond memories seeing the game about as a kid, and I did eventually own a physical copy but never beat it. One day... one day.

Till then vibing with this nice track
