30 Best Sega CD Soundtracks - Mega CD Music Tribute

[@shenloken2]

Snatcher is so fucking awesome! That opening theme is just sick when driving down the city at night with all those neon lights whizzing by you.

[@willpowerrazorblade6436]

Hell yeah!!!!

[@1300l]

I had a Sega CD when it was released... i don't care what the internet angry and irate nerds say... it kicked ass back in the day! Even the FMV games

[@Gametester110-qf8vs]

Same! Loved my model 2 Sega CD.

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

Yup second fav system I ever owned and when it came out it was king for a good year or two.

[@gaboesuarez]

I tried to study with this music but it wasn't a very bright choice, haha. Now I want to play all the games!

[@Myrope]

+Gabriel Suarez I did the same thing this evening, LOL!!

[@xbigwormx]

Eternal Champions on Sega CD had an awesome soundtrack and Spiderman Vs Kingpin Sega CD was also banging.

[@TheCentralScrutinizerAgain]

The Sonic CD ost (Japanese, of course) is timeless!! EDIT: thanks for including composers, if you are still on youtube! also nice to see Devastator on here! for anyone reading the nier:automata ost is amazing, one of the few modern osts that stand out for me.

[@edbrito-swdev]

Never played on the Mega CD but this music compilation SLAPS.

[@mrdante361]

Final fight CD!!! Shit just got real son!

[@Vectormantudeoz]

F*ck yeah

[@hernandezluisarturo]

Lords of Thunder, great game and awesome music.

[@Xenon_117]

The Sega CD is neat, but Nintendo really punched back by releasing games with CD quality audio on a cartridge on the SNES. (Also,is it just me or does Echo the Dolphin music at 43:57 give Stranger Things vibes?)

[@chopdog6563]

Man...these games were my late teens into 20. So many memories locked up here.

[@venomtang]

I just actually opened the vid to press like and keep scrolling but damn music was great so I'm still watching. Another solid vid!!!

[@Mirage9982]

44:00 brings back so many memories. I used to go to sleep to the soundtrack back in the day. I never bothered playing the game very much, but always listened to the music.

[@aquamich129]

Lords of thunder sounds like a heavy metal band from Europe! just amazing.

[@retroTVcopon13]

Spencer Nilsen is GOD!!

[@Mrlgov]

Man starting the trail with this one from Batman is sensational. All of this Batman's songs are sensational !!

[@vice86]

Robo Aleste...one of my fav SegaCD soundtracks

[@farmanibayev6557]

ECCO's OST / FlashBack are #1 in this list!

[@MizfitZer0]

I have heard most of these and love them all... but holy shit when that beat dropped at 46:00 ... that was fucking amazing. Never seen the game before but now i want to buy it for the soundtrack alone!

[@aes330]

ufff ECCO: The Tides Of Time - Spencer Nilsen - St. Gabriel Mask still, the number one, awesome sega cd musics in the 90´s

[@Сидзэнрёку]

Spybionic, большое спасибо за подборку музыки. Послушал с удовольствием.

[@thasbl]

Snatcher Zoom Tracks Soundtrack absolutely rocks !

[@thewanderingalbatross1061]

Thank you for making these easy to search! Can't say that for other list.

[@14catorce]

I really miss The Ninja Warrior's Daddy Mulk here. Good compilation anyways, thanks for the work.

[@radbuster4403]

Dungeon Explorer song is so good

[@Mchenrygames]

the american Sonic CD has a great soundtrack but the Japanese one is simply magical

[@angelocean8174]

The ultimate console which i had back in 1993, and the ultimate music ever written for video games

[@juanluism.8937]

Very good selection. SuperB

[@radbuster4403]

that shadowrun intro is sooo good!

[@officiallipsey]

Awesome! Now waiting for 30 Best Sega Saturn and Dreamcast Soundtracks!

[@Freycko78]

[@ultimatefantasy3598]

ohh my !! Sega CD have games with nice music TOO ! :ooo

[@FuZhixiang]

Almost all of the listed BGMs are recorded from instrumental play and decent composed. Truly I savor them. Even a large proportion of BGMs in PlayStation are sampled.

[@Jedexpff]

Thanks to this video i found a lot of great ost in sega cd some years ago

[@mariosion]

How about the guitar riffs that play when you put a Sega CD game in a cd player?

[@rjmario2234]

you forgot popful mail one that should not be forgotten and definitely one of the best soundtrack from the sega cd imo. still these are really good ones

[@Alianger]

True but it has very few redbook tracks, it's mostly MD+Ricoh chiptunes.

[@RWL2012]

@@Alianger what's wrong with that...?

[@Alianger]

@@RWL2012 Nothing

[@lfefer]

3:18 Stunning!

[@hopetagulos]

WoW! Thanks.

[@gaspump]

This popped up on my feed an the only thought I had was... "There were MORE than 30 SegaCD games?"

[@RWL2012]

about 200

[@Dreamer066680]

the mega drive ost selection outshines by far the cd quallity ones here, adding the fact that megadrive can offer much more variety of songs due to its far bigger library.

[@sgtpepper91]

i forgot how fucking BANGING Robo Aleste was

[@Sharkdive1983]

Nice compilation!

[@VDizzl]

Riff on track 09 is lethal.😁

[@marv5078]

nostalgia overload!!!

[@GaetanLloyd]

I've never played Sonic CD but I've heard the soundtrack more times than I can count. Sonic music pre-sonic adventure was pretty great! Some newer titles have great tracks too but not as memorable.

[@Tanka_]

Until now. Sonic Mania.

One of the best is missing Sol-Feace is amazing

[@roymorrishx]

Stage 1 on Sol-Feace is without a doubt the catchiest damn level music there is.

[@BUTTONBASHERGAMING]

@@roymorrishx Absolutely bangin tune love the whole game so good

[@shadic1988]

Tidal Tempest (JP) Present is my favorite song out of the entire Sonic CD library. The US Present version is a close second.

[@maxbspqr]

Man, the Japanese sure love some distortion! yeah!

[@smsega]

thank you，it's too amazing

[@TonyAlicanteSpain]

Great compilation ... I miss Battlecorps (Martin Iveson)

[@TyFly511]

Damn willy beamish ! I use to love that game 2021

[@kadel300]

Man, not having anything from Dark Wizard here is a real shame. Definitely belongs here.

[@music-fran]

Sega was ahead of its time

[@AsylumSaint]

Tommy Talirico is the man

[@charlesdjones1]

AsylumSaint Haven't heard that name in at least 2 decades, wow lol. He used to be in game magazines all the time.

[@Alianger]

13:17 that track would've been 100x better without the cheesy trumpets all over it. Nice list overall though! Didn't expect Shadowrun.

[@craiganderson7085]

Great list, except where's Sol Feace bro :)

Sol Feace soundtrack was fantastic. Also Sonic CD Tidal Tempest Bad Future US version was great.

[@drunkensailor112]

the ONLY thing missing imo and very much missing is tears stained eyes from snatcher. to me this is the best song ever made period. please look it up!

[@kikofernandez8165]

OMG!!!!final fight ROCKS!!!!!!!!

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

great collection!

[@maxbspqr]

Rad!

[@mikeg.8904]

NBA Jam intro should have made this list, it's fucking phenomenal

[@Sehammer]

Я не глядел в описание, но в процессе просмотра не сомневался, что из Sonic CD вы поставите именно Tidal Tempest)) это шедевр, по сравнению с ней все остальные меркнут. Спасибо за подборку

[@doitforthelutz]

Sega does what Nintendon't.

[@batlin]

As soon as I heard the Thunderhawk title music I immediately thought of the jazzy chords from Wolfchild (track 8 on the CD, I think)...

[@MeteCanKarahasan]

Which is the best on the list! Martin Iveson is a genius musician.

[@batlin]

@@MeteCanKarahasan it is sweet, although I really like Tidal Tempest by Masafumi Ogata (who also did some fantastic work on the Tekken soundtracks later)!

[@efblasius]

Snatcher one is a masterpiece

[@donjuant]

i dont understand why the grafics are superior in this times but the music in that games are very simple and have no soul, long live to the 32,16,8 bits music era.

[@trainyourdog7351]

Classics

[@nosocomics]

Posiblemente una de las consolas con mejor OST

[@ClaudiaShifferLA]

I play The Shadow of the Beast II in Amiga, and I was thinking that the music was supreme, until hear in Sega CD, it was amazing, the best soundtrack in all the sagas of Shadow of the Beast by far.I think this track must be in this list By the way, I don't have a SegaCD but the music was the best in that era.

[@_Tzer]

i am calling that there has to be at least one sonic cd one here

[@nimbylive]

Watching this would make you think that this was great system. This video is great and I can put it on and just go do about anything. It's the SegaCD that was garbage. I tried liking it back in the day but I wouldn't waste the disk space to emulate this thing. I do like what you have done. Your videos are well put together and and labeled. Kudos.

[@drunkensailor112]

sega cd was and is an awesome system/ most underrated console I've ever owned

[@nimbylive]

I would counter the Dreamcast as being underrated. I get what the SegaCD was trying to do, but the bad videos put into games just could not make them good for me. There were a handful of good games, but I still want to stick my original argument that most were garbage. I tried to like the console. I even beat sewershark back in the day. I will give you Sonic CD is fun and the CD gave it the best soundtrack of its day.

[@drunkensailor112]

nimbylive Dark Wizard, Snatcher, Lunar Eternal Blue, Lunar Silver star, Popful Mail, Ecco the Dolphin, Ecco Tides of Time, Sonic CD, Dune, Third World War, Amazing Spiderman vs Kingpin, Final Fight CD, Pitfal, Keio Flying Squadron, Flashback, Heart of the Alien, Shining Force CD, Lords of Thunder, Robo Aleste, Monkey Island, Zak Mckracken, Terminator, Vay, Mickey Mania and if I want I could go on. That is hardly a handful of good games. All of these games are easily between 8/10 - 10/10

[@nimbylive]

Lunar was more fun on other systems, Ecco was the same game from genesis. Flashback and heart of the alien were marginally better that Genesis/SNES counterparts. Lords of Thunder was better on Turbo Graphx cd. Snatcher, I will give you, that game was great. I never played Vay, Dune, or Third World War so they may be very good. This list does still remind me of what happened. The best games for this system were rehashes of games from the 16 bit area and marginally to not that much better (short of a very small handful of games).

[@drunkensailor112]

nimbylive the lunar games definitely weren't better on other systems. at least not eternal blue. also on sega cd they can be played in english unlike on other systems

[@TheWaluigiWare]

how dare the sonic cd one not be sonic boom

[@positivevibrations5103]

Damn that Dune music 🔥

[@Hellcos]

Spent an hour in searching track 08 Bosque to find out that track title is Shadow Realm

[@MrRatchet12661]

A complete genius Put Mega CD version of Tidal Tempest Present (JP) in Sega CD -.- a complete genius

[@mehdijean2857]

The best & objective selection o mega cd games ... i may add Flink , Soul Star ..

[@CapitaineMontreal]

The entire soundtrack of eccho the dolphin should be on this

[@akhandtripathipyz9888]

Lords of thunder defenitely my favourite

21:03 noooooo! John Wick was killed!

[@inkajoo]

After Burner III - Hiro 13:17 sounds like Star Fox SNES!

[@pioneermega-ld3236]

A Small Babby But After Burner 3 came out before Star Fox...

[@AOMINET]

+A Small Babby Its the other way, Afterburner was first by many years.

[@inkajoo]

Are people really this thick? - ___ -;; I didn't comment on which I thought came first, I just was surprised that it sounded like a song I knew.

[@rarchangelo]

Great selection, despite of the "Road Rash" is not present.

[@lovelycars1]

They saved the best for last. Wolf child rocks.

[@willpowerrazorblade6436]

SEGA forever baby baby!!!

[@MasterLinkuei]

AFTER BURNER 3 HELL YEA

[@miamimagicians]

This was like a PS1 in 93!

[@tehValorin]

Where is Heavy Nova opening? (Joke, but you should check for it anyway.)

[@birdseed696969]

I didn't realize the Sega CD even had 30 games in it's library.

[@birdseed696969]

@Justus Bowman oh I remember the 32x as well. Was never really exposed to much Sega CD or 32x growing up tbh... I'm thinking Sega didn't do a very great job of promoting either product.

[@RWL2012]

the 32X is more like 30 games.

[@harleygoryl181]

Sonic CD, my favourite Sonic game along with Sonic Mania.

[@cjewe1z]

Do you have a link for where I can download Sega CD music?

[@bobbyschmitt2559]

Hey whats the music playing during the adventures of willy beamish?

[@alexpilot7353]

[@linonetoneto3535]

Faltou darkwizard. Trilha sonora toda fantástica!

[@germaincarcopino5900]

Ecco OST ... love

[@Nazraq04]

Wait a minute. There was a Shadowrun game on Sega CD? I'm guessing it was Japan only, but now I'm searching for a fan translation version.

[@CandiedStars]

Do you happen to have the MP3 for Shadowrun's intro? I cannot find one of a decent quality anywhere!

[@vladbio8473]

Missing NBA JAN, Shining Force CD, POwer Ranger, MKI
