[@NemFX]

This truly is the Mega Man soundtrack for a game that isn't Mega Man. This song is a work of art. I mean that literally. This is an 8bit song, that could easily have slid into the top songs for a SNES list, and nobody would bat an eye. Whoever composed this one? They need more credit. This one is a masterpiece.

[@KitsuneYojimbo]

I played through this a couple years ago on Twitch. Beat it on stream and honestly, this seriously is a criminally underrated soundtrack for an equally underrated game. Plus I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this would be right at home in a Mega Man game.

[@lwillythewatherzon]

The composer is Naoki Kodaka, he also composed the OST for Blaster Master, Batman and Super Spy Hunter

[@TurquoiseStar17]

@@lwillythewatherzon Sadly according to his credits, he stopped composing in 1997 (a PS1 game) :( I wish we'd gotten more of him

[@taylorshields42]

For real, this and the boss music are so epic!

[@michaelsilverman341]

Better words never said 😢

[@simbametallum551]

it was hard to believe that this music actually came out from a NES cartridge I mean... listen to dat bass...

[@D0ntTaseM3Br0]

It's even more hard to believe that they salvaged this game despite it was suppose to be The Terminator!

[@dragonore2009]

What's even harder to believe is NES games were programmed using Assembly language, since compilers from traditional languages were not as good back then.

[@PotaJoe]

DPCM BASS TIME MOTHERF*CKERS!

[@griffgames9538]

Tim Follin's NES stuff was equally mind-boggling. Check out a couple tracks from NES Silver Surfer. His SNES stuff was ridiculous too.

[@KetsubanSolo]

Most people used DPCM to throw in really crappy voice samples. Sunsoft was like "Oooh, we have another instrument slot!"

[@thescissormanx]

Journey to Silius is now in the Switch NES library! Do yourself a favor and check out a great game with one of the best 8-bit soundtracks ever!

[@LUCKO2022]

Really?? I didn't see that one coming. It is a very obscure game. Only reason I knew about it was thanks to Gamepro TV back in the day, and then I got a copy new for $10 back in the day. Totally worth every dollar. Still have my childhood copy and no one will ever take it from me, they have to kill me but even then I would come back as a ghost to make sure it stays where it belongs WITH ME.

[@thescissormanx]

@@LUCKO2022 I never knew about it and sadly missed out on this game during my childhood. It would go unnoticed until a couple of years ago when I saw a speedrun of it during AGDQ. I found a physical copy and it fast became one of my favorite NES titles.

[@KitsuneYojimbo]

I actually started this game recently for a Twitch playthrough after a couple of my subscribers recommended it. My god is this game savagely difficult, but it's just too much fun and the music is absolutely amazing!

[@engitions]

Is it really!!! Dont lie to me?!!!

[@KitsuneYojimbo]

@@engitions Indeed it is.

[@aprev039]

I didn’t discover this game until my 30s yet it STILL takes me back to my youth. Sunsoft forever.

[@alsoknownas875]

A lot of the Sunsoft games had an amazing soundtrack. Too bad more people don't know about this game, it's actually pretty decent--but the soundtrack is pretty incredible, especially considering it's an 8-bit game. See the two Batman games that Sunsoft did as well for more amazing music.

[@kikef.e.6177]

Indeed! Awesome tracks!!! Wow! Can´t stop listening to them! This afternoon I have a retrogaming sesion with Journey to Silius and its an incredible game! (Very difficult as well!)

[@GenyaArikado]

I admire your profile pic

[@MrCoconuts64_Lum69]

Also Known As konami is also pretty good i mean the japanese version of castlevania 3 was far more superior than the us versions also dont forget the sunsoft gameboy music is great too

[@masterninjahh]

Gimmick! is their best work on the nes in my opinion. its the only one that used expanded audio and it just sounds amazing

[@Dorelaxen]

This one was a rental for me back in the day, but I vividly remember how amazing the soundtrack was. I even recorded it off onto cassette on my ancient stereo. The game was great, but man, the music blew me away.

[@elboel]

The team who worked on the music for JtS was absolutely amazingly talented. They really pushed the NES to its limits. My favorite might be stage 2 for its unbelievable complexity, just pure eargasm... Sunsoft WTF!

[@jakebello7988]

Naoki Kodaka = the GOD of NES music! Safe to say this is now one of my favorite video game songs of all time!

[@TheArchitectOfDreams]

JUST LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OMG! It's so pure!

[@Tinlion09]

Journey to Silius just got added to the Switch’s NES game collection for Online subscribers! Good stuff.

[@Tinlion09]

referral madness Huh, I assumed that they just quietly shut down at some point and Inticreates bought the rights to Blaster Master or something. Neat.

[@randomguyontheinternet7940]

Godamn, Sunsoft mastered the NES's sound capabilities. Every game they made on the NES has some of the best music in the entire library.

[@phubans]

This catchy tune has been stuck in my head all day. I never really played much of this game, but I recently got an original cart of it so I really ought to check it out!

[@TheLoveMario]

My god The 1000+ bytes that make up the sunsoft pick bass samples must be the very best 1000+ bytes in the history of computing (Also yes, the samples are smaller than 1KB)

[@bensmith6518]

Most likely hand-programmed!

[@Kaiserete]

Man, back then Sunsoft's games had a lot of absolute bangers.

[@jesuschrist.official]

Okay, that music is just kicks ass, it's good! I haven't even played that game, just watched someone playing it, and then that music came, so I immediately searched it. It's so clean than any other NES game's music imo

[@user-yr7m2]

I had this song in my head almost 30 years, couldn't remember from what game it was until it came to the switch nes library. Pure gold!!!

[@bobbyblack1138]

5 dislikes... Get outta here lol. This is the best shit ever

[@potatortheomnipotentspud]

But it ain't the title theme. Don't get me wrong,this is good too, but the title theme sounds like a stage theme.

I would sit in this stage for hours just to listen to this sick beat

[@michaelselwyn5551]

0:11-0:55, 1:08-1:51, 2:04-2:47 reminds me of the Main Theme from Hang-On (1985, Arcade) written by Hiroshi Kawaguchi and the Bubble Man Stage Theme from Mega Man 2 (1988, NES) written by Takashi Tateishi.

[@soundawake811]

I never played this game until I added it to my NES Classic. Awesome game, and great soundtrack. Sunsoft, and Konami, games always had killer music.

[@KitsuneYojimbo]

Wait... NES games can be added to the NES Classic?

[@mikekomarinski]

Don't forget Capcom.

[@striverfor7628]

I don't know this game but this music sounds like it could fit the end of a game. I've no complaints about it being used for the start though. Also, the music is absolutely amazing

Good news! It is reprised for the last stage as well!

[@striverfor7628]

@@danielfrey9036 Oh nice, thanks for telling me

[@Amberleen_the_Light_Eevee]

This game is know to have one of the best 8 bit soundtracks ever, with some lasting about 2 or so minutes. That's very unique and uncommon in many Nintendo games, as most of the games only last about 5 to 30 seconds before looping. Solar Jetman is another game that has long soundtracks. (Except Planet 9 and 13)

[@HaxHaunter]

Inti Creates should work with Sunsoft once again and remake this game as well

[@whatshappeninganymore2473]

They've already been referencing Sunsoft's games in Blaster Master Zero 2. Don't be surprised when Zero 3 comes out and pays tribute to this game.

[@joeygamer5387]

Is THIS why the first theme in Mega Man 10 is called "Abandoned Memory"?!

No, it was called Abandoned Memory because you fought a boss that followed the AI of Robot Masters from the previous Mega Man games. But I do see the resemblance!
