It's #VGMWednesday and todays theme is #SuperSixteenBit One of my favorite and most played Sega Megadrive (Genesis) games was Streets of Rage 2. The soundtrack is still a banger!
It still blows my mind that composer Yuzo Koshiro was only 22 back then 🤯 He started composing video game soundtracks when still in high school. Check out a photo of his setup in 1989 in this recent feature:
I have never been into Beat 'em ups but have some of the classics like Streets of Rage 2 in my collection. 🥊
Are there any titles you suggest trying out although I am not the biggest fan of the genre? 🤔
Yuzo Koshiro was 18 when he composed his first soundtracks at Nihon Falcom, he started composing as a hobby in high school. His list of game soundtracks is insane 🤯 #StreetsOfRage, Ys, #EtrianOdyssey, Dragon Slayer, Revenge of Shinobi, Trials of Mana, Tales of Phantasia, Sonic the Hedgehog, Shenmue and so many more (Wiki link below).
