This game was a decade ahead of its time in the bgm department. Seriously impressive with the equipment and just think how hard it was to find talent like this in this field.
"Quartet Theme" will always be one of my favorite opening-level BGMs in gaming, and a perfect example of why it's key to lead off with a strong musical piece or song to begin a game's journey. What makes _Quartet_ really shine, aside from its lovely graphics and good gameplay, is that _all_ of the music in it is good. I particularly like the upbeat, uplifting tune "Sky," as well!
sega was for the culture. they support and did rap before it was really big and mainstream. rap was hated back in 1986 but folks outside the culture. so much respect for them to taking a chance on the soundtrack.

This soundtrack only serves to remind me of all the times I played this sorely underappreciated game. The piece of music entitled "Sky" just inspires me to push on as Mary (favorite character) and lay waste to the robotic horde and their bosses. Good times!
The OKI Rap stage was just fantastic in the arcade game. There were little robot drones that would hop up and clap to the beat at certain points in the song. I thought that was so amazing when I was a kid. ^_^ Man, what an underrated classic.
Such an underrated game, sadly the only true console port was a very stripped down version on the Sega Master System. If only this would have been released on the Genesis with the 4 player tap it would have been an instant classic. Thanks for the upload!
Maybe it could have been a side-scrolling run’n’gun like Contra. That would make it the VERY FIRST 4-player game of its kind! Sunset Riders could suck it ;)
A very catchy & memorable compilation of themes from this SEGA arcade classic, Quartet. A shame this wasn't included in any of SEGA's Classic compilations for next-gen systems. Also, we will never know the creative minds behind the tunes as they remain uncredited.
Well the song was remade with lyrics in Project DIVA Arcade and sung by Miku, along with other songs like AFTER BURNER and LIKE THE WIND coming from old SEGA games, but sung by Vocaloids.
Ok i just googles it and it says Quartet was composed by Katsuhiro_Hayashi who also did the music to Galaxy Force and a few Master System games. I think this sounds so much like Fantasy zone and Outrun cause they all used the same sound driver.
Never heard the last two tracks before. Could not help but notice that one of the digital soundbytes used in said tune is "F--- you!" Pretty amusing. Never gets heard during actual gameplay of course, but this means it's tucked away on rom regardless.
The last track kinda sounds like a precursor to “Techno Syndrome”. Also I like the clever use of vocal samples to add lyrics, this had to have been the first game to have a soundtrack with (basic) lyrics in it, predating Skate or Die II on NES by about 4 years.
I think the music was inspired by Fantasy zone and I think a Little bit by notes of Namco Kinda because when I herd phozon by Bandai Izuki wantaneyama was arranging the song I think no offense but it was still very underrated 3 decades later I told my music partners Elijah and Matthew they got sooooo inspired by Oki raps end they had to get there friend who had a great experience with them and whent and got there parents to go sega, get the system 16 and put it on genisis it sounded great to thanks for uploading
I mean, Sega does occasionally make callbacks to their more obscure games, albeit not as much as Nintendo. Still, “Toot toot sonic warrior” is based on music from Sonic 2 on the Master System, Alex Kidd and Flicky have made numerous cameos, and I’m pretty sure that Sega Superstars Tennis has a reference to Space Harrier in it somewhere.
Who else was looking for A Quartet fan film in 2020? These are who would've starred In a 90s film: Edgar (Bill Duke or Carl Weathers) Joe (Jean Claude van Damme or Jeff Speakman) Lee (Marc Dacascos or Jet Li) Mary (Cynthia Rothrock)
The FM Funk soundtrack is truly melted in my memory banks. In addition, you can hear a bit of Spider-Man the arcade game from the early 1990's which was made of course from Sega. Sega Quartet is truly a classic....Enough said!!!
this was all done with the fm synthesizer chip right? so you could say that this is synthesizer music because they probably used yamaha DX7 synthesizer.
ファンキーなベースライン、８０年代らしいエレドラ、ＦＭ音源のたまらないサウンド、
そしてバブル時代の幸せいっぱいなメロディ。
永遠に輝き続ける名曲ばかりですね(*^^*)
This game was a decade ahead of its time in the bgm department.

すぐやられちゃうんですけど、ついついゲーセン行くたびにプレイしちゃうゲームでしたねー。
この頃のFM音源サウンドは中毒性高いですね。

この当時にファンクやラップ、EDM的な要素を取り入れた曲作りをしていたSEGAが改めて凄いと思った。
明日、学校行きたくねーな…などと思いつつ、Beepのソノシートを録音したテープを聴きながら眠りに就いてたのを思い出す。
FM音源のキラキラした音は悩み多き少年時代の癒しだった。
ゲームミュージックは最先端だった
Beepのソノシートは偉大だった！あれのおかげでたくさんの良曲を知ることができた！
これを聴いてから学校行ってた。いい思い出。
高校の頃、レコードプレイヤー持っていなかったので、持ってる友達の家でソノシートをかけて貰ってカセットで
録音してました。今でもFM音源やMIDIの金属音の時代の方がゲーム音楽らしくて良いと思っています。
I remember playing this as kid. The soundtrack, fun gameplay and the vibrant graphics gave an incredible rush. This is why Sega was great.
This game was legend in the arcades, but on the master system port, it blew chunks…
Quartet Themeのイントロは人類が産み出したイントロの中で最も素晴らしいものの一つだ。最高。
イントロだけじゃなく、「全て」ですよねｗ
ゲーム自体一度もやったことないけど、ＣＤで聞いて１度聞いただけで曲にハマりましたよｗ
爆発音みたいなイントロかっこいい
当時は試しという感じで数回プレイしただけだったっけ
ファンタジーゾーンやスペースハリアーと違い「うわ、音楽凄い」というインパクトは何故か感じなかったけど（ラップとか当時から良さが分からなかった）VGMのCDで Quartet Themeだけは気に入ってたな
俺結構おっさんだから、レゲー知ってるつもりだったけど、
この曲知らなかった自分が恥ずかしいわ。
久し振りに、イントロから痺れたわ。
22秒からも素晴らしくカッコいい。
ミュージックサイレンの起動音ぽい
イントロ部分だけでこれだけ聴く者の高揚感を煽っておいて
それに続くメロディも全く質が落ちてないのもすごい
稀代の名曲
역대 오락실 최고의 bgm이라 생각됩니다.. 이런엄청난 곡인지 어른되서서 알았네요
音楽だけに全振りしたおかげで今も語り継がれる作品。
Fun Fact: FM Funk and Oki Rap were reworked and reused in Spider-Man: The Video Game for the arcades.
Hearing this music at the arcade back in the 80s blew me away. I would just hang out by the cabinet listening to demo mode just to hear the tunes.

顔を真っ赤にしながら遊んでいた記憶が蘇る......。
また４人プレイやりたいなー。誰かやろうよー。カギなら譲るからさー。

SEGA always killed it on the OSTS! Quartet Theme and Sky are masterpieces.
学生時代の親友の田中君の8畳部屋にQuartetの４P大型筐体があって
かなり憧れました(⌒∇⌒)
ゲーム雑誌のソノシートでずっと聞いてたな~
私も聴いてました。多分BEEPじゃないですかね
ゲーム画面だけ見た時はガントレットの紛い物程度に思ってたけど、サントラで曲聴いて好きになった時にはもう近場のゲーセンにはなかった。とにかく曲がカッコいい。
ガントレットの筐体を流用できそうですけどねえ
流用してるのは見たことないですね
曲はすごく良いけど ゲーム自体はあまり面白くない
なのに わざわざ専用筐体をつくってた 贅沢ですよね 良い時代でした～
女性と黒人さんだけやたら強いけど
男キャラはまるで弱い 当時はそんな事を考えもしなかったけど
時代を先取りしていたのだろうか

The OKI Rap stage was just fantastic in the arcade game. There were little robot drones that would hop up and clap to the beat at certain points in the song. I thought that was so amazing when I was a kid. ^_^
Man, what an underrated classic.
Shame there was no Genesis port, that would be killer
Agreed I like all of the song
Thanks 🙏
Your avatar makes me smile at your comment even more. Even enemies from the Valis games dig this music. Funny.
It was also used in the Spider-Man arcade game, just without the vocals.
Felixstowe, uk sometime around 1985. Took the day off school and spent the majority of it playing this. A true classic Sega hit.
Ha. I played that there too. I was on a holiday at the time and that consumed half of it.
@@evansdm2008 haha Felixstowe was the best for arcades then.
00:14 Miku... ❤️
Thanks for upload!!
ジャンプに癖があってむずかしかったけど、みんなで遊ぶと楽しかったなぁ。オンラインで復活しないですかね。

Remember Remember The Fifth of November Rolling Thunder came out in 86 too like Quartet
@@voivodian8326 Yo fuck rolling thunder. Although looking at it now, I can't deny Shinobi was a re-skinned/modern version of rolling thunder. damn it.
There was also a very good port on the PS2 in Japan.
I'd love to see a remake. This was one of my first games on the Master System. Would love to play the arcade version.
10:21 This one takes me back to the past.
to play those shitty games that sucked ass
What, you’d rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in your ear? 🤔
mkⅢ版に追加された曲も名曲なんだよなぁ
友だちと遊んで楽しかった 内容はしょうもないけどそれでよかった
This is peak 80s!
05:41 what a underrated song...
amazing songs , sega´s soundtracks really rock´s
Childhood memories jumping the fence from Fort Ord to Marina just to play Quartet at the local bodega....Ahhhh the 80's!
この時代のセガは神曲オンパレードだよね。
ゲームとしては、ファンタジーゾーンが一番好きだったけど、音楽はカルテットが一番好きだったな。
全く同感
異論なし
レコードでサウンドトラック持ってたのにプレイヤー持ってないからカセットにダビングしてもらった思い出。。。
いえい！いえい！かもん！はっ！！

I'm probably wrong but my guess would be Hiroshi Kawaguchi, it certainly has his funky samba style.
based on the first track I would tag it on whoever also did outrun
Hiroshi Kawaguchi composed Outrun, Fantasy Zone and Space Harrier. This soundtrack defiantly fits his style.
Ok i just googles it and it says Quartet was composed by Katsuhiro_Hayashi who also did the music to Galaxy Force and a few Master System games. I think this sounds so much like Fantasy zone and Outrun cause they all used the same sound driver.
Thanks for uploading this! I've been wanting to listen to the full arcade soundtrack for a while now ^^
OKI RAP was also used in Spiderman the Video Game by Sega.
5:41
This evening on SEGA News!
The start of that totally does sound like an exciting newscast intro. Nice catch!
Only if there were a genisis remake, it would be fantasy zone all over again..
OKI_RAP is sooo good!
버그가 있어 케릭터가 가끔 멈추는 현상이 발생하면 주인에게 말하고 동전 받아서 전원버튼 껐다가 켜고 다시 시작하던 게임!
테마음악이 아직도 귀에 생생한 그 게임!
Thank you for the upload!
Never heard the last two tracks before. Could not help but notice that one of the digital soundbytes used in said tune is "F--- you!" Pretty amusing. Never gets heard during actual gameplay of course, but this means it's tucked away on rom regardless.
sounds like 80's prog rock filtered through a Genesis sound chip. Rad!
Pretty much like Genesis in 1986.
YM2151の名曲ですね
80s electro funk all the fucking way.
excellent
7:58 OKI_RAP now haves the Samples properly in Sync!

Wow, it's really true, LOL!
Holy crap! You're right!
WHAT WERE THEY thinking....
@@midinerd It's a happy coincidence!
However, it's actually a George Duke cover.
The melody of the chorus in the original theme song may have been inspired by "FM Piano Test" from the video game Quartet.
according to fandom page
I used to play this at a local pizza place. Memorable music!
Got a lot of fantasy zone instruments!!
The last track kinda sounds like a precursor to “Techno Syndrome”. Also I like the clever use of vocal samples to add lyrics, this had to have been the first game to have a soundtrack with (basic) lyrics in it, predating Skate or Die II on NES by about 4 years.
[edit] nvm I found out Psycho Soldier was the first video game with vocals in the music.
カルテットの曲聴くと、なんかジーンと来ちゃうな。
i noticed the Quartet Theme is where Sonic's theme from Sonic Adventure came from at a certain part
I just have to say, grad1u53... ...your anti-modern Konami user picture is AWESOME.
This really gives me Fantasy Zone vibes.
Yeah the Fm for it is just like fantasy zone And space harrier the Fm brings back so many things to me
10:21 Sounds like the AVGN Theme
really fun game to play on the analogue pocket

Yeah, OKI Rap (minus the vocal samples) and FM Funk were later remade and used in "Spider-Man the Arcade Game."
He’s going to take you back to the past
It sounds very "city-popesque" in some of the songs. It was obviously a game contemporary of that era.
parts of Quartet's them remind me of It Doesn't Matter from Sonic Adventure
鋼鉄ベースたまらんぜ

Best song is FM Funk!
10:21 The angriest gamer ever heard

...so am I the only one who thinks the "chorus" of the second song sounds like "It Doesn't Matter," Sonic's theme from Sonic Adventure?

It's a conscious callback!
miku sing this song i love it ^^
+danilo martins She did? Wonder where you heard it?
@@TimelordR Project DIVA Arcade.
Quartet theme sounds like it was inspired by by Jump by Van Halen...
0:22 Totally Van Halen's Jump.
I played this game as a kid before I ever heard Jump, the first time I heard that song I thought Quartet!!!
If only the Master System had multi-tap then we would have been able to play 4-players at home just like the arcade version. :P
10:21 Angry video game Nerd theme
This sounds like fantasy zone
Needs a 3DS remake in HD, this game had wasted potential to have a sequel or two.
legorulez49 Boy, the 3DS is 240p. HD starts at 720p.
Sega should throw this into the Sega Ages line for the switch.
legorulez49 exactly
Added stereo and reverb
I'm only now realizing that music from this is reused and recomposed for Spiderman the Videogame
