    I prefer this version to act 1. I love when each instrument methodically gets isolated. It makes you appreciate the individual parts to the composition, and the composition is so good that each individual part is worthy of its own song. A true accomplishment since everything I mentioned is about a video game song from the 90s

    Sega really knew how to take advantage of the Genesis’ sound hardware. Idc how inferior the Yamaha YM2612 was to the SNES hardware. The Genesis’ music was always iconic and will always be.

    • @andyukmonkey
      @andyukmonkey 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I'm not even sure it is inferior even if it is older tech. The Snes soundchip is a step away from synthesised sound and with a few bells and whistles but is severly limited by being inside a 16 bit console with little RAM. It's also limited by what samples the game studios could actually get into the games. I bet a lot of Snes game music consists of samples from synthesisers anyway.

      A lot of people prefer this version of the tracks but some people prefer the Prototype music (Beta game version, not PC version obviously) but took issue with how they were constructed in Origins. So there's actually a simple mod for the PC version of Origins that switches the music back to the MJ tracks as well as a mod that switches the Origins tracks back to their more glorified Beta forms. For that, you can look up the channel called Overdash.

A few more levels from Sonic CD, like Stardust Speedway, Quartz Quadrant and Metallic Madness (complete with shrink rays) on top of the very awesome Metal Sonic fight would have also been awesome to see. I'd also love more classic bosses recreated including Mecha Sonic from Sonic 2.

    Personal best was ~750 rings in act 2. Most in all of the Sonic Genesis games I played back then. This was locked-on to S&K. Last game I played was Generations years ago 👍

    i'm playing this masterpiece just now (was waiting for it to come out on 3ds like 1 and 2 but never happened for sone reason) and wow is it good. it's awesome how good its storytelling is without having any dialogue at all, like in mania. and i see just now how this game inspired a lot of the later games. like this zone feels to me like a mix of twinkle snow and cool edge, but it actually inspired them both. idk. cool.

    Sega Genesis was truly ahead of it's time. I remember it's marketing sound design being a KEY feature, that today means nothing new. Back then it was truly amazing, they definitely showed off and mastered Sonic 3 & Knuckles to showcase this! (Genesis sound design showcase is equivalent to showcasing a PS5 4K HDR Gameplay today.) This is also my favorite track ever from SNK3

    0:26 is in SSX when the music gets all blurry from SHOOTING off of the edge of an icy cliff with your snowboard hundreds of feet in the air, and you get to see the whole of creation from above.

    is hard when... look back and understand... all of that never will be the same today, we can simulate the old times, trying to build an ambient like that, with friend who know how is, if you have friends from that time (not my situation)
    that times was really happy, i can remember a lot of things, all the things, how i felt, the energy of that days, the light, the weather... memories registered in the song, one thing by one beat, good days...
    today i can feel only the pain of a injustice world, and loses, a bad life, that only runs sustained by memories. i live all days, basing myself in the past, believing that the world could be happy again, once was and I saw, then it could be again
    this song carries value of giving me faith and power again
