And I have to put in a plug for Galaga's music, one the finest, most addictive computer games ever made. Another for consideration is the delightfully kids-y "Beetle" from a British company long defunct. Gosh, how I wanted more than just the demo! The music was cute without being saccharine, somehow. Such warm and wonderful memories. I recall the music of Another World as being terrific. And I have to put in a plug for Galaga’s music, one the finest, most addictive computer games ever made.

Shouldn't be too difficult as they're probably not up to adult height yet... Got little time for anyone who thinks that things from before their own narrow little timeframe are automatically worthless. Funny thing I that I can't really think of any Genesis(-exclusive) soundtracks that leap out at me. It had good hardware but the innovative composers seem to have stuck to other systems like the SNES, Miggy and ST (or even Gamegear). Sonic 1 and Streets of Rage may get a look in, but that's about it. Oh yeah and there's the little point of the Megadrive being largely contemporary with the OTHER 16-bit machines I've mentioned above. So is that old and busted as well, then? Anyway I must slightly nitpick with the intro as well. The ST was my first "real" computer (my own definition: something you can make a laser printed newspaper with :D), and much as I love it dearly, I don't remember it having Amiga-troubling audio (or graphic) capabilities, until the less common STe came along (both the STe and Amiga being 4-channel, btw, not 8). Its strengths were more in slightly better raw processing power when not doing multimedia stuff, and built-in MIDI (which the Amiga lacked). But, the on-paper inferior YM2912 synth chip - like a slightly cut down SID - gave it a musical identity all of its own, exploited well at the time and still being used by talented and innovative artists who worked around and with its limitations and capabilities to make some frankly awesome pieces of music (multi timbral, the occasional - scratchy - sample, and crazy crazy abuses of timing and interference to make bizarre industrial sounds). I'd like to see another list of those in fact. But for now, much enjoying this one. Its a world I didn't get to experience at the time except by very rare passing contact - friends of friends, systems in use when visiting prospective high schools etc - and only discovered much later after getting a PC and discovering some MOD repositories. Turrican isn't maybe as exciting sounding this way, but Xenon 2 is =so= much better :D Can someone take Krav outside and hang them by the ankles for a little while?

Ignoring technical quality it's surprising just how much is re-invented and what creativity the musicians, artists and programmers had back then. Well researched and a good choice of tracks with some excellent synth-pop. Just spent maybe 4 hours reading a bunch of lists, very interesting site.
