Meh, should I really do this? I mean, I think I already shown my love for underrated and obscure stuff for WAYYY too long already, so honestly I don't know if I want to mention my entire backlog of that type of music again, because there's just WAYYY too much stuff to tell IMO lol
One thing I have to say tho, is that both the PC-88 and 98 and the PC Engine, all made by NEC Corporation, all have some really underrated games, and very few people that aren't Japanese knows about them (that is also true with the PC Engine btw, because even if it was released to a few other places around the world, it couldn't compete with the Mega Drive and the SNES, like many other consoles that tried doing that, and as such, it fell into a sea of obscurity), and what most people made on those consoles in the music department was really impressive. Ryu Umemoto especially made quite a few great atmospheric and emotional tracks on the PC-98, and honestly, it's a bit unthinkable to see most of his compositions being played on FM synthesis, because those would feel right at home on a SNES RPG
there
y'all wanted my opinions again, and there you have it
The thread title says you can post here some video game music you wish more people knew or loved. If you only have one example, no problem, you can always think of different ones in your another post. You can create a list in your post(s) and your opinion on others' examples as well.
As for now I have four examples:
- Star Fox - Titania - one of my favorite tracks from the game, although it's overshadowed by thatcorn area Corneria.
- some of Mega Man 1 tracks - the soundtrack of Mega Man 2 definitely sounds a tad bit better than the soundtrack of Mega Man, but I think the latter deserves bigger attention than that, but some of the tracks are more popular than others.
- Mega Man 3 - Dr. Wily 1 - sounds catchier than MM2's first theme of Dr. Wily. WHY THE HECK IS THE LATTER SO POPULAR?!
- Mega Man 8 - Tengu Man (PSX) - this one's extremely happy and catchy at once! I often listen to this one, but don't know why some people prefer Saturn track to this one.
