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.
NES
Target: Renegade (1990)
Level 1, 2 & 3
Tim Follin
This song is amazing ... There is always unknow jewels with this console ...
I actually remember borrowing this game from a friend back in the late 80's for the NES.
"So uh... Tim... you said you wanna use this pitch-bending tool on the music, huh? How many pitches do you wanna bend?" "All of them." :D
An OCEAN SOFTWARE game composed by TIM FOLLIN and published by TAITO. That's a match made in heaven, in terms of music.
SD, you should consider making a playlist devoted specifically for your uploads of Follin tracks, if you haven't already.
holy shit this is catchy
I remember rocking out to this lol. I even recorded it on a tape deck son I can listen to it all the time lol.
Tim Follin knew how to get the absolute most out of any limited sound chip. His song from the game Chronos on the ZX spectrum is nothing short of audio sorcery. Look it up, and then imagine THAT coming out of your 1-channel motherboard beeper, since that's all the sound hardware he had to work with. Every sound was the result of hand-mixing the audio in software.
That cover art is so badass. Just look at it!
Yeah, it is badass. Too bad though it's "stolen". ;) http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/tracing/tracing4.htm
@Burkhart von Klitzing LOL I actually own Dragon Power!
@Dane Tucker Haha, no wonder you'd love Target's cover then. :D
I immediately knew that this was a Follin song by the start of the song. Does anyone think it's a stretch to say that Follin was a genius composer on limited hardware specifically NES and Gameboy music?
He started at 15, he'd feel cheated if he wasn't considered one!
I'm pretty sure Tim Follin never made a Game Boy soundtrack (except Bust-a-move 4 on the GBC, which sounds absolutely nothing like him). But his brother Geoff made a few Game Boy soundtracks.
Ha, Tim Follin naturally! Sounded like Pictionary the moment it started xD
Seeing NES cartridges always brings back nostalgic memories... memories of them working half the time and having to blow and use our own uniquely weird technique to make them work. This game was a slightly above average beat 'em up elevated by Tim Follin's rocking soundtrack.
