Best VGM 630
A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
SNES
Super Adventure Island (1992)
Dark Castle of Living Things / Darkside Visitor
Yuzo Koshiro
Mr. Koshiro was and still is a Legend.
That guy was MAGA before his time.
This song is shit and is no way part of a "Best" VGM.
oh no...living things...I'm a living thing! get away from me!!
this game was so crazy hahaha
You're always starving and you're about to derail; why are you smiling?!
THIS is why I asked my folks to buy me an SNES over the Genesis. Oh the good ol days. Our console wars were not as nasty as it is now.
almost get an Earthbound feel from this one
What type of music is this?
I'm pretty sure you've even forgotten that you wrote this, but... ... it's called chip-tune! :)
What a grooving tune, who knew it would be in such an odd game.
Every console, or most every console, has some underrated gems that get passed over for whatever reason ready to get picked up.
"Dark Castle of Living Things" What kind of a name is that?
As he did on every game. THE BEST video game music composer ever, Yuko Koshiro kicked some serious ass back in the day on this one - and he really did make it known that the SNES could put out some great tunes.
anything yuzo touches makes the game gold. good times 1992
Ha! Look at that stOOpid smile on his face on the box art!!
This is the only SNES game soundtrack to out-funk Eatrhbound's...
@GeneralGeneric hear for yourself. the beat drops sound pretty similar, not to mention the style of music and this game came out 2 years after enigma's album which got pretty big, worldwide attention.
@runitecastle Surely you aren't serious about that sampling comment
Very average game, but the music made me buy it. Awesome beats.
0:08 sounds like they sampled Enigma - Sadeness. percussion from then sounds similar too. this is awesome!
Simple and nice. GJ Supra :)
Is it weird that I was able to notice Yuzo's work just by sound? He is my favorite composer for games....ever.
For being stuck on a desert island, he has access to a lot of technology. Skate boards, minecarts, baseball caps, and now a DJ.
the whole soundtrack of Super Adventure Island is EPIC
Even the evil dudes keep it funky.
Gotta love Yuzo Koshiro's music, I really wish he made more. The game itself was alright and very short, the music was definitely the high point of the game for me.
