Developers: Sega, MNM Software Publishers: Sega Platform: Sega Mega Drive Release Date: August 2 1991 Composers: Yuzo Koshiro Genre: Beat em up, Side scrolling
Wasn’t it, ever since I was 7 I have a massive obsession with city scapes at nighttime, got in photography when I was older and have some belters, my friend lives on the 24th of a tower block and his balcony over look Manchester (has lots of towers these days) and would love to recreate that image 🤘
@@gabrielgoncalves2763 The story is actually about a crime syndicate ran by evil mob boss Mr. X. They started to run the city to the point that they even had the police corrupt which is why Axel, Adam & Blaze turned their badges in. You have to let the start screen sit & it will show their profiles & they are all Ex cops but there are still some good cop like the ones that help them in their super move. It’s not the deepest story but it not JUST punching thugs til you get to the final boss. Plus I said back then not now.
90s kids, born in the 80s and now you raise your own kids sissified. This game is proof enough that female representation in video games existed ages ago
This song was the very first thing that drew me in to the wide wide world of video games! Seeing it on my dad's Mega Drive with the city back drop made me think "there might be something to these video game things" haha. Seminal.
@@diobrando-qv3uv Sega had no custom chips, except SVP for Virtua Racing. IT is just sheer madness and genius of Yuzo Koshiro that made games sound so good. That and a custom sound engine.
The streets of rage games will always hold a place in my heart, the synth the bass even on Genesis sounded amazing here to the streets and the music lighting it up🥂
I remember seeing this for the first time, it laid bare so much possibility. It spoke of the sadness of a city falling into crime, and yet the hope as three brave people stand up to say no more. As a 10 year old, this was the future of video games for me. ..............yet new pixel games today that feature this same style music, and similar style openings....they make me smile and excite me for the game, but they don't give me goosebumps like this did. They don't make me stare out of my window at night wondering if three brave people can stand up to my citites corruption today.....and if I might be one of them? No. I have changed, and so has my world, and that mysterious wonder I had about disocvering new video games and how it was a part of the fantastic discovery of life overall...... ....that's now largely diminished, and can't be recalled. This makes me yearn, not for "days when gud games were made, not liek stupid kids with fortnite 2day smh" but for the days when l was.....more...I dunno, innocent, carefree and drawn into the world, as corny as that sounds?
This might be a little late being that your reply is a year old But I just read it for the 1st time and damn it if you didn't hit the nail on the head It's not corny at all man I'm in f****** tears over here Cause I feel the exact same way holy crap This game made you believe that there was actual good people in the world that wanted to do something about all the bad all the bad and maybe just maybe I might be one of them This interval is so powerful And your reply bro you should write for a living Because that shit was straight up poetry #FuckFortnight
People class the second one as the best but for me this is the best scrolling beat em up ever made that soundtrack was way ahead of its time . What a game
😢 Como pasan los años pero la nostalgia perdura en nuestras mentes de este juegaso solo la vieja escuela sabe de lo que hablo y hay gente nueva que siente lo mismo pues bienvenido
No matter how realistic graphics become and how much effort is put into the music and effects In modern day games ive never seen one quite as effective and legendary as this one . I had streets of rage 1 and 2 for sega and it reminds me of my grans house as a young kid . I actually get goosebumps hearing the theme
kids have the same feeling about MW compared to games in the future. isn't it great that everyone thinks their generation had the greatest best time ever?
essa música toco no aleatório na madrugada, e me bateu uma saudade desse jogo, do tempo que jogava com minha mãe. sdds de mais. Minha mãe sempre jogava da menina lá, não me lembro o nome dela, e eu sempre jogava de alex. jogo foda, obrigado pelo conteúdo.
@@delahalleadam7662 so sorry my man🤍 u know what? Im gonna call my brother and play this game again in honor and memory of your brother,i wish the best for u my friend💪🏻🤍
This track is clearly inspired by Enigma - Sadness. Knew this as a kid as they roughly came out around the same time in the early 90s. Was a popular song in the charts in the uk. Very well done on the megadrive hardware.
The year is 2001 everybody had a PlayStation n I saved up to buy a sega megadrive two from my weekly allowance beacuase parents couldn’t afford a PlayStation and I got to a pawn shop and they sold me streets of rage together with the megadrive two and two sonic games To this day this is the greatest childhood memory Streets of rage had a crazy soundtrack while playing
Saved up for weeks to get this when l was a kid then finished it in one go without needing to use any continues. I'm glad sor4 was more challenging., even if the soundtrack wasn't as good.
The Genesis didn't have as wide a range of music that it could do as well as the SNES, resulting in most games sounding bad, but I couldn't imagine SNES getting this vibe.
@Switch Fan Yea, I definitely agree with you. The best way I can describe it is that it doesn’t sound like the Genesis, but at the same time I feel it could only be done by the Genesis.
This game has the best soundtrack of the 16bit genre, but i think this was just the beginning of a classic series. When streets of rage 2 came out it had even better tunes.
Does anybody else think that this song was inspired by the song "sadeness" from the band Enigma? Everytime I was playing this game, I was saying to myself "I know this song!" but I couldn't remember where I had heard the it, until today...
Never liked the game. Not as much as everyone else did. Was a huge Final Fight fan, and Turtles Arcade, and the Dugeons and Dragons + Golden Axe games etc. But Streets just felt off to me. Not sure what it was. Anyways, I'd bought a game genie from this local second hand bookstore that also traded video games, and they had the japanese versions of Mercs, Streets of Rage, Ecco and some R-Type clone. Bought them all. Streets was the only one I didn't finish, or like, but I remember the soundtrack being pretty legendary.
I don't care if this game came out later Streets of rage has and will always be better than Final fight. Final might have Rolento and Poison as two iconic baddies but Shiva blows the top as one of the coolest and most badass. Plus every soundtrack from 1-3 even the remake all came correct.
opening streets of rage Axel Blaze dan Adam mereka bertiga untuk tolong kota streets atau city streets untuk stop mr. X yang dia lakukan buat jahat jadi Axel akan melakukan untuk minta tolong kota streets yang lain seperti Blaze dan Adam akan bantu Axel untuk stop mr. X yang jahat ingin melakukan kota streets of rage jadi tiga orang seperti Axel Blaze dan Adam siap membantu Axel bertugas di kota streets of rage dan Axel siap bunuh mr. X yang jahat! kalau mr. X sudah mati kota streets akan kembali seperti semula atau city streets back to happy jadi ini la yang di nama kan streets of rage! ini la yang di nama gamenya streets of rage pada tahun 1991 by sega genesis u.s.a.
This may seem silly now but back then this game was like playing a movie to me. The setting, the music, the story.
Wasn’t it, ever since I was 7 I have a massive obsession with city scapes at nighttime, got in photography when I was older and have some belters, my friend lives on the 24th of a tower block and his balcony over look Manchester (has lots of towers these days) and would love to recreate that image 🤘
It was everything to me.
Yeah such a deep story, "lets punch every thug in the city until we beat the overlord"

Bruh, I haven't played any of the SOR games prior to SOR4 but just by hearing the OG soundtrack I can tell what you're saying is true
90s kids, we had such a good childhood.
Sure did, the 90s was the last really great decade
@@b9479I say the same thing a lot. Glad I was born in 85 and saw the last of the good stuff.
@@Gaz12345 true indeed, born in 83
90s kids, born in the 80s and now you raise your own kids sissified. This game is proof enough that female representation in video games existed ages ago
Born in 88I truly miss the 90s. Old school cartoons great live action kid shows and great video games
That beautiful ambient like sound at the start...
The towering city in the background...
This is just the best way to start a video game.
I think this was stolen....

Say it again for the folks in the back. FACTS

Its MIND-BLOWING how a Sega sound chip could sound like this 🔥🔥
biggest advantages to sega was the music
I think yuzo also had a custom sound chip for either sor or sor 2 and 3.
@@diobrando-qv3uv Sega had no custom chips, except SVP for Virtua Racing.
IT is just sheer madness and genius of Yuzo Koshiro that made games sound so good. That and a custom sound engine.
@@volo870 thanks for the info.
If you want to listen to the track that inspired it most it's called Soul 2 Soul - Get a Life
The streets of rage games will always hold a place in my heart, the synth the bass even on Genesis sounded amazing here to the streets and the music lighting it up🥂

I feel the same, The longer my life becomes, the more detached I feel.
Deep
People class the second one as the best but for me this is the best scrolling beat em up ever made that soundtrack was way ahead of its time . What a game
This song made me dream about a Streets of Rage movie when i was a child
and your wish will come true soon! The director of the John Wick movies is developing a Streets of Rage movie!
This city was once a happy, peaceful place.
😢 Como pasan los años pero la nostalgia perdura en nuestras mentes de este juegaso solo la vieja escuela sabe de lo que hablo y hay gente nueva que siente lo mismo pues bienvenido
This is a joke. This intro is absolutely insane. How Sega managed to pull this of at that time is beyond my understanding and forever will be.
So much nostalgia.
The song that started it all.
My alarm.
I used to spend the night at a friend's in the early/mid 90s and we'd stay up playing through the first 2 over and over. This music is so nostalgic.
No matter how realistic graphics become and how much effort is put into the music and effects In modern day games ive never seen one quite as effective and legendary as this one . I had streets of rage 1 and 2 for sega and it reminds me of my grans house as a young kid . I actually get goosebumps hearing the theme
They are willing to risk anything... even their lives... on the... Streets of Rage
I spent times just listening to this intro before thinking to start the game.. This music makes me return 20 yrs back to my childhood😢
Memories of playing this and listening to the title screen music. Epic such a great tune.
Eternal classic. Would love to see similar arcades make a comeback.
😩😩😩 so glad I grew up playing this and golden axe and not modern ware fare
Ye...
kids have the same feeling about MW compared to games in the future. isn't it great that everyone thinks their generation had the greatest best time ever?
Ok boomer
Same brother ✌
Yeeeaaah ✌️
Nostalgia overdose.
I want you in Smash Ultimate.
Get this man axel Adam and blaze in smash
So so brilliant I remember as a school kid playing this & used to listen to this all way through, perfect tense intro
This always gave me enigma vibes
Un simple soundtrack no puede transmitirte tanto.
El soundtrack:
essa música toco no aleatório na madrugada, e me bateu uma saudade desse jogo, do tempo que jogava com minha mãe. sdds de mais. Minha mãe sempre jogava da menina lá, não me lembro o nome dela, e eu sempre jogava de alex. jogo foda, obrigado pelo conteúdo.
Blaze é o nome
The beginnings, backstory and the warm ups
Addictive Soundas
My first game ever,played a lot with my bug brother,maaaaann....what a memories😢❤
Me too bro and now mine passed away
@@delahalleadam7662 so sorry my man🤍 u know what? Im gonna call my brother and play this game again in honor and memory of your brother,i wish the best for u my friend💪🏻🤍
Yuzo san will always remain a god of music in my eyes 😭
Goosebumps
Still waiting for a bad ass movie too this. This is my favorite Sega game and soundtrack by far
Those carefree days was a beautiful thing haha..🎶🎶🎶 #boomertears
Wow, ¡que buena música!
I was waiting for the Enigmas bezentine monks to come out in the beginning of the song lol
Pure Nostalgia! Love this game, still play it! 🎮💯🔥
"Nostalgia" - this is how Yuzo Koshiro named one track from Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 4, which happens to be a remix of this theme.
This track is clearly inspired by Enigma - Sadness. Knew this as a kid as they roughly came out around the same time in the early 90s. Was a popular song in the charts in the uk. Very well done on the megadrive hardware.
perfect sound
Just played it on some new speakers and the bass line is sick 🤒
SEGA did soundtracks exceptionally well.
The year is 2001 everybody had a PlayStation n I saved up to buy a sega megadrive two from my weekly allowance beacuase parents couldn’t afford a PlayStation and I got to a pawn shop and they sold me streets of rage together with the megadrive two and two sonic games
To this day this is the greatest childhood memory
Streets of rage had a crazy soundtrack while playing
Would always play as Adam, thought his slams and throws were the coolest. His jump kick was badass as well.
increible temazo!!! precioso, te atrapa cuando lo escuchas, tan triste y tan bonito a la vez
Ya no hacen soundtracks como estos
When I'm looking down at my city from up high on a bridge ready to battle thugs.
Perfect
This song goes hard
music is awesome ❤️ i love retro games
Saved up for weeks to get this when l was a kid then finished it in one go without needing to use any continues. I'm glad sor4 was more challenging., even if the soundtrack wasn't as good.
Pensa numa trilha sonora incrível é a desse jogo
Put on a Kevlar vest and brass knuckles and walk into NYC… the game becomes reality
The Genesis didn't have as wide a range of music that it could do as well as the SNES, resulting in most games sounding bad, but I couldn't imagine SNES getting this vibe.
@Switch Fan Yea, I definitely agree with you. The best way I can describe it is that it doesn’t sound like the Genesis, but at the same time I feel it could only be done by the Genesis.
Listen the Super Adventure Island music, is composed by the same and sounds similar
This game was 🔥🔥🔥 how this years run away
Ah the memories
Hell yes.
This game has the best soundtrack of the 16bit genre, but i think this was just the beginning of a classic series. When streets of rage 2 came out it had even better tunes.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing my old days love this game still got it thxxxxx
Quality game.
Best soundtrack ever!
es un temasooooo!!!!
Thank you Sega!
Still the best opening theme ♥
Pura nostalgia!!!😍🥰🎶😁
😖Im remember this moments
Need a longer version of thus
Sensacional.
Chef-d'œuvre
I played this in my head when i graduated.
Es una melodía que al escucharla me deja impresionado por como suena.
The intro grabs you.
This was the end credits theme for SoR 3 as well.
Does anybody else think that this song was inspired by the song "sadeness" from the band Enigma?
Everytime I was playing this game, I was saying to myself "I know this song!" but I couldn't remember where I had heard the it, until today...
Mad I didn't get to play this game as much as I did with part 2.
Amo Vocês³
I love
And that's when gamers could met Enigma' Sadeness
Огонь братуха 👍👍👍
❤
que música linda
I LOVE THIS ONE !!!!!! 💖💖💖💖✨✨✨☄️☄️☄️🌝🌝

Is that beat...
Enigma - Sadeness?
To all of those who thought that the Genesis had a poor soundchip...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Enigma - sadness?
why are her arms so thin? why have i never noticed this?
Her arms are damn sticks lol
Axel looks so unsure...
Porque o canal parou?
Мегадрайв the best... ❤
Amazing and awesome game and music man 🙏🏼 🌟 ❤️ God bless you and your family and friends too in Jesus name Amen 🙏🏼 ♥ 🌟
Sounds a little bit like Sadeness by Enigma

Did anyone notice how thin and long Blaze’ arms are? 😂😂😂
