Ah see, Uptown always got my head banging. Like whom ever composed this was just a genius for the genre/avail tech. This is why I couldn't rate Sega Genesis, the soundboard sounded like absolute ass, and so much of a game is driven by sound and music.
Personally, I'd put Super Metroid above both of them. Jurassic Park also has some absolutely fantastic music (the top-down one, not the sidescroller) even outside the context of video games.
I agree with you, but this list has to include the classics of Kirby Superstar and Super Mario World and Earthbound. I mean they were all....genre defining soundtracks. But Shadowrun is top 3 for sure just for how different it was from other soundtracks. EDIT: can't believe I forgot to say Donkey Kong 😅 It should absolutely be on the list of top retro soundtracks as well.
@@EnjoySackLunch Sam Hyde, really cool comedian. He has a video where he is trying to use googles shitty ok google service to play this ost and it just doesn't work.
You had a rad childhood. I was a ps1 kid and didn't get to snes till I was 15 and Shadowrun felt like a certified classic in a good way. This OST stuck with me for the last 14 years
I always wanted to get stuck in and play this and finally bit the bullet at the weekend. It must have made a dent in my head as here we are, listening to the soundtrack at work. Thanks for the upload!
This game was released when I was 17 in 1993. When debuted, I and a lot of my cohort ignored it because most of us RPGers where only interested in Sword and Sorcery themed RPGs at the time....now 8,000 years later I took a chance on the game via a Retro-Pi and it turns out I was entirely mistaken back in the day. Give it a shot. It will be worth it!!!!
It really added to the atmosphere of the game when you were having dialogue with the games strange characters. Almost was kind of scary playing when young in the dark.
loved playing this game on a Friday and Saturday night. the soundtrack kicked ass including the music from the clubs was cool. but personally I liked the chat window music.
@@HunterShowsI have a full playthrough of the JP version of Shadowrun on my channel. But short of it; The JP version of Sneshdowrun is slightly larger, I wanna say a few different sound effects but not many. The ending doesn't have any of the text boxes from the enemies ( _i.e. Drake saying he'll see Jake in Shadowrun 2_ ). All text is in English but it comes with Japanese translation, certain buttons are remapped, the intro is laid out in a better consistent way. And the text scrawl at the beginning is word for word straight out of 1st Edition Shadowrun pnp rulebook, describing the setting of Shadowrun through brief history. Also the only way to enter the debug room in the JP Shadowrun is through gameshark because you don't get the matchbox at all.
And it's that easy. See, the Google Pixel does me right, every time
For anyone curious, this is from Sam Hyde's Google Pixel review video
Okay google.
Okay google.
Okay. google.
*drops phone*
*OKAY GOOGLE*
Almost impossible to listen to GUNFIGHT without adding UGH UGH UGH BOOM BOOM BOOM UGH BOOM BOOM BOOM UGH UGH BOOM UGH AHHHHH!!!
Morgue is such a banger wow

@@TheTiggytiger exactly.. snes soundboard was on a different level tbh
Best OST ever! The sound of my childhood!
@@robertlambert4514 listen the OST from THEY LIVE theres a direct influence.....
they dont make games and soundtracks like this anymore...... and thats a problem
Honestly, you can't go wrong with the soundtracks from either of the two 16-bit cartridge Shadowrun games...so good.
Shady conversations and seems familiar stuck in my head since I was a little boy back in the day.
So true.
4:23 **gets out of morgue tray**
"my brain feels burnt..."
what a way to start a game...
SNES ShadowRun and Super Castlevania IV are the greatest soundtracks in SNES game history... absolutely love Funky Conversation + The Cage
I agree!
Personally, I'd put Super Metroid above both of them. Jurassic Park also has some absolutely fantastic music (the top-down one, not the sidescroller) even outside the context of video games.
Earthbound would like to have a word with you
Tales of Phantasia 🙂

Uptown always gets stuck in my head to this day.
I just started playing for the first time and I'm definitely going to play this in a dj set - such an insane banger
The main Riff in "Schism" By Tool sounds alot like "Shady Conversation" 12:39
I can see why Sam wanted to play this soundtrack so bad.
OK GOOGLE
Who’s Sam

My childhood jamsssss

Thanks for this! Shadowrun is one of the most atmospheric games ever, and in a good part due to it's soundtrack.

@@thecollector6746 I stuck with it and completed it. What a great experience!
@@thecollector6746 The game is pretty deep and has several secrets that go beyond the main story. I knew it completely back and forth back in my day
@@ziggrrauglurr yeah man....there have been at least two(I think) modern successors to The Game. I think I will check them out.
a literal perfect soundtrack for a literal perfect game!
16:44
That song is literally burned in my brain and sometimes, I try to replicate it with my mouth.
Excellent - thanks for doing this. One of the best SNES OSTs!
Enjoy!
The best!
16:50 the song that plays when im fending off homeless from dumpster diving in my alley way
best SNES game ever and soundtrack. This game was just amazing i loved it so much i still have my copy and box!!
morgue is the shit
Such a great soundtrack to such an incredible game. Shadowrun on SNES is my favorite SNES game.
Masterpiece. This soundtrack is soooo good.
The cage is my all time favorite
Funky Conversation and Sleazy Bar have been stuck in my head for years.
Loved this game. The Cage was such a great song.
Funky conversation and Gunfight are so god damn good.
This is great, thanks for the upload!
stuck in my head lol. Shady conversation is the best

We found it for sam
Genuine question, who's Sam?
@@janellepetro448 Sam Hyde
I like this soundtrack, very Case. As in Case from Neuromancer.
loved playing this game on a Friday
and Saturday night. the soundtrack
kicked ass including the music from
the clubs was cool. but personally I
liked the chat window music.
We'll settle for the Chrono Trigger theme
They are really all great, but Uptown is something very specical.
Ty for upload
Thanks for listening!
Unforgettable memories getting everything in the game except that damn zip gun!!
It has only gotten better with age.
This still creeps me out. Love the sound track
16:43 I can hear the shooting and damage-taken sound effects
This ost and mechwarrior on SNES, the best
Oh damn! Good call I forgot how awesome mechwarrior ost was! Ima listen to that rn!
I was listening to Black Box's "Strike it Up", and remembered somebody did the same but better. That "Uptown" track is just freaking phenomenal!
i swear uptown is a real song and they just removed the vocals :)
the very 1st RPG game I played..
Yes
Playing this on the desktop while disabling the soundtrack to CP2077... it's the only way to play the game.
Track 12 "The Cage" has lyrics.
Thx for that one!Same as bigben0316 for the memories!
Bomb game to
shady conversation (the dog)
classic
Some them live back in the day with the original keyboardist 😂
i found it just fine dont see what sam was having so much trouble with
/\i shir due-ed ::fancied 5.105+ ( Legend :: wau, i missed out on track 5 , soo,, solid | |) }
Why is the "Japanese" version of the Seattle 2050 song so long?
The Japanese version has an extended text scroll explaining more in detail the setting. In the US version is only a small text splash screen.
@@daikaiser9394 Anything good?
