For those that love the soundtrack to this game I'd recommend checking out the music for Legendary Axe II and Kyukyoku Tiger for the PC Engine as they have a very similar style to Dungeon Explorer.
This game is a hidden gem, with one of my favorite soundtracks in history. I love this game and played it on the Wii and my emulator on my PC. I see a lot less videos about this game then I would like to see. 10/10, 100/100, best game, best game!
There's nothing hidden about this game, it was advertised on TV in 1989-1990ish in the US and probably more in Japan. It was one of the earliest original properties of Atlus.
EPIC title theme. also town, castle, dungeon theme, boss, and more! Great soundtrack overall that rivals and is probably better than Bomberman OSTs on the same platform :D
I had just discovered RCA hookups on back of my mom's old 8-track player and her ancient '70's turntable. Since those two pieces of hardware were tucked in a closet I broke them out, then went to Radio Shack and bought a bunch of splitter cables so I could plug the TurboGrafx into both and have amped rear speakers and front speakers! I used to crank Dungeon Explorer so loud, it would make my vision blurry. Not the best for me I suppose, but sure did love those years of video gaming. ( I was still in high school, mind you - not some older geek living in my mom's basement)
taking the throne and the game ending on an evil note was always fun. this music will always have the heaviest of all nostalgias on me.... so legendary
This game possibly showed just how well the PC Engine could sound given the proper attention. Would have loved to hear Yuzo Koshiro push the old PCE and really give something to truly rock.
I just got this game yesterday in hard copy. No outer box, but jewel case, manual, and card sleeve. I can't wait to fire it up, and try it out. While I've definitely heard soundtracks that make better use of the PC Engine / Turbografx16 sound hardware qua hardware, this is really fantastic music qua music, and is a very solid use of hardware to boot! If the game is anywhere near as good as the music, I think I'm in for a really good time here!
One thing that would be awesome is if you changed the vid to show at least a screen shot of the level for the song. But otherwise this brings back so many memories I thank you for this vid and subscribed.
Instead of a few games you could buy a Turbo Everdrive for the same money and play all the games you want on the actual hardware, including community translations. It's what I did and I can recommend it to anyone. It's also completely legal as far as I can tell.
11:15 For the life of me I do not know who that kid was in that dungeon but it took forever to kill him lol. The memories. Played this with the 4 controllers lol
Anyone who likes this should find Dungeon Explorer II music. Im positive it's made by musicians with actual instruments in a professional studio. It's great.
With the music and some of the monster designs, it always seemed to me like Dungeon Explorer was coming from more of a sci-fi background than fantasy. More Alien Crush than Devil's Crush, if you see what I mean. It always made it weirdly intriguing to me.
Yes, I attempted to beat it very recently on the TG and I deduce its just a waste of time and the game is sadly a piece of shit. The last stage is just impossible. The funny thing is, its not even the real characters, obviously it was changed for American audiences. The original was based on a pretty cool show in Japan. check it out!
+Evan G I realize I'm hella late. The last stage is hard but if you can't beat that final boss no reason to not beat the game. Rather than dropping down into his pit jump over to the platform to the left at that drop. Walk to the far left side and wait atleast a half second then hold right and drop into his pit. Do not let go of right as your dropping. This was the first way I had to beat the game. It stun locks the boss for the easy win. Swear

Thankyou for adding the time signatures :D
This soundtrack probably gives me the most goosebumbs out of any other game in my life
That song at 17:16 so enchanting.
salozmen29 it is very nice,i loved this game back in 1989.
salozmen29 My #2favorite. #1 is the end credits music IMHO..
Because you are a decendant of Harmet
hell yeah
For those that love the soundtrack to this game I'd recommend checking out the music for Legendary Axe II and Kyukyoku Tiger for the PC Engine as they have a very similar style to Dungeon Explorer.
That opening track is one of the best retro jams.
Takes me right back to childhood…Unreal how much better this music sounds as an adult!

PC ENGINE MASTER RACE. I love that synth sound and how funky, mystical and rocking they were able to make the tracks!
EPIC title theme. also town, castle, dungeon theme, boss, and more! Great soundtrack overall that rivals and is probably better than Bomberman OSTs on the same platform :D
this one really gets my poesy in the mood

Glad to have re-remebered this, I see it's already a video I've liked.
Always have a place in my heart for haunting music.
taking the throne and the game ending on an evil note was always fun. this music will always have the heaviest of all nostalgias on me.... so legendary
I'm making this into a ringtone. This music is nostalgia crack for me.
Some of the best TG16 music is right here, especially the electric guitar solo that kicks off between 12:37 - 13:03. Love love love it all!
I remember playing this with two of my friends and when this came on, I said it sounded like an electric guitar and they disagreed.
It is shocking how good this is

A lot of childhood memories from this game.

I love how this guy got almost the exact same sound out of three different systems.
A reason this was one of my favorite games was the soundtrack. The 5th track reminds me of Bach's compositions.
fucking art pure artwork this soundtrack
+Carter Dodson (Ulticraft PRIME) fucking art pure artwork this soundtrack
28:23.. just amazing
One thing that would be awesome is if you changed the vid to show at least a screen shot of the level for the song. But otherwise this brings back so many memories I thank you for this vid and subscribed.
One of the best soundtracks out there!
OMG love the over-world music.
This game has a superb soundtrack, and an impressive difficulty curve.
The same guy who composed my favorite nes game ever....Rockin' Kats!!
Amazing music!!! Such a wonderful machine!
THANK YOU for the upload, this brings me back . I miss this game
The castle music sounds like it would be an awesome guitar riff!
The castle theme is actually based on an Organ work by Bach. I can't remember which BWV number it had, it was in G minor though.
Buuuuullll Beast, B-B-Buh-B-Buh-Buh Bulllllll beast. 6:07
Bullbeast is near and mad!
I though I was a bit weird as a kid loving this game only for the music
Yaah dude thanks for posting this 😎
one of my favorite game soundtracks! such great memories. =)
AAAh the classic chip tunes
this soundtrack is amazing! I really wish turbografx games werent super expensive
Instead of a few games you could buy a Turbo Everdrive for the same money and play all the games you want on the actual hardware, including community translations. It's what I did and I can recommend it to anyone. It's also completely legal as far as I can tell.
Luckily I own most turbografx games. I'm such a stickler, I use the everdrive so I can keep all the ghames safely tucked away in their boxes
they werent , not when they came out.. i still have mine.. damn im old lol
Vertex Arcade Same here mate. Played them before I was ten, still have em, including this one.
awesome, love you for this.
I just bought this game on my wii!!! Best 6$ I ever spent!!
thank you very much ha! memories....
11:15 For the life of me I do not know who that kid was in that dungeon but it took forever to kill him lol. The memories. Played this with the 4 controllers lol
Prob the best overall soundtrack ever. Debde Debda
Nostalgic!!
Young Dolph and Key Glock "ill" sounds like the intro to this
i thought the same he most likely use this but search a different version
Opening is the best, plus I love 17:15
awesome music

One of the best pcengine soundtracks artist or artists?
17:16 Cherry Tower - my favorite
4:08 is just classic.
cherry fucking tower is the best song
1:49 reminds me of the Taxi theme.
lol remember Keith courage?

Wait wait wait... Masuko composed this!?
No wonder I've always loved this. :3
I just came here for the title music.
