[@opa-age]

Arguably the best OST on the Genesis. Its that good.

[@CrackThoseClaws]

Didn't grow up playing this game. Found it by accident now and the OST intrigued me. So you're not wearing nostalgia goggles, this is really awesome music.

[@rockstargamesmysteries526]

The game itself is timeless too. I highly suggest it ; there's even a mode where you can play against AI on random maps, making the game infinitly replayable.

[@novascotianinfj]

The red dragon has 4 levels. Took me 20 years to figure that out.

[@prismaticpaul]

@@novascotianinfj I only figured that out once i got far enough into the campaign 1. The blue one can also get to level 4! It's the same evolution though, the king dragon. There's also one more level 4 monster, the taitan, starting from a warrior. Getting one of those feels so amazing. That, and when the elemental forces lose half their health while the level 4 dragon is barely scratched.

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

Sakimoto is a god!! The SNES might have been good at orchestral soundtracks, but my gosh when FM instruments are utilised as smartly as this its a serious eargasm

[@Maru96]

TheLegendOfRenegade not Sakimoto, Hayato Matsuo composed this OST.

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

Marcel Weber Sakimoto did the FM/Genesis conversion. He didn't write the music, Matsuo did, but Sakimoto is responsible for its sound and technical expertise.

[@jeremym9011]

I love Hitoshi Sakimoto's sound driver and instruments in this game. If only MORE Sega Genesis games used it.

[@jessragan6714]

Instead of that "waaawb waaaawb waaaawb" crap in so many Western-designed Genesis games.

[@theshyguy1580]

@@jessragan6714 GEMS, you mean.

[@ragnarokangaroo]

Hitoshi Sakimoto didn't compose for this game, he just handled the programming with his sound driver. This is 100% Hayato Matsuo.

[@alexisynthfm1988]

But, Sakimoto was in charge of bringing all of Matsuo's music to the MD hardware, so he does count as a composer since he will have made some arrangements there apart from programming the driver.

[@ragnarokangaroo]

@@alexisynthfm1988 That makes Sakimoto an arranger, not a composer. Those terms aren't interchangeable. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_composition en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement

[@alexisynthfm1988]

@@ragnarokangaroo I thank you for your observation, but they always credit the arranger as the composer on every game soundtrack recording for some strange reason, if they are not interchangeable terms, anyway Sakimoto did get involved in music as a sound programmer and arranger, I also get the impression that he could have composed one or another theme because the style varies quite a bit throughout the soundtrack.

[@ragnarokangaroo]

@@alexisynthfm1988 Credits you find online aren't always properly sourced. The actual in-game credits list Matsuo and YmoH.S (pseudonym of Sakimoto) under "sound" which doesn't tell you much about who did what. I'm guessing someone saw that, knew Matsuo was a composer, and assumed Sakimoto had the same role even though there's nothing concrete to suggest that. Meanwhile the official soundtrack album released in Japan by Toshiba EMI explicitly lists Matsuo as the only composer with YmoH.S (aka Sakimoto) buried in special thanks. Haruhisa "hally" Tanaka, a chiptune expert and journalist who has produced, engineered, and written liner notes for dozens of retro vgm albums and one of the key people behind Diggin' in the Carts, corroborated in one of his album guides that Matsuo was composer under Koichi Sugiyama's guidance with Sakimoto as sound programmer and arranger. Maybe the diversity in style is from the influence of Sugiyama, but it's the job of a game composer to be able to write in an eclectic array of styles to suit the various scenes in a game.

[@vegaspaul9428]

I heard the end credits once in my lifetime and doing it was a crazy memorable experience. Love this game.

[@kfc8888]

Just by hearing this opening music, my memory recalls of all the rounds i went through trying to level up all the monsters, it was 28 years ago!! this game is truly epic!!

[@Digitalhunny]

Just dug out my old Genesis & this game. Gonna teach my youngest to play over the holidays with a few beers. Cheers!

[@kfc8888]

@@Digitalhunny lucky kids to have a mom like you, sharing the legendary game with them. have fun!🤟

[@flamingwoodz]

Man this soundtrack is soooo good. It has a nice mix of mystery and lament.

[@michaelsierra9]

Streets of Rage, This, and Herzog Zwei had the best soundtracks for the Megadrive in my opinion.

[@michaelminervini1908]

gave the game a real dreamy feel. like you're in this other world.

[@MegaTheman25]

Absolutely beautiful. Love the softness of "Into the Deep Blue Sky"

[@Elruth]

Why is there no love for Large Green Meadow! Is one of the most badass songs in a strategy game... feels like a God, full of Might & Power...

[@chaosgreyblood]

More like a large plain or territory that's about to be stained with ash, fire and blood. And the promise of full-on devastation wrought upon by a malevolent army that seeks to conquer all regardless of cost.

[@whitekaminari]

The first minute of 07:25 Yellow Robe (BGM 02) has a very strong Bach feel!

[@ErMcValdemar]

True! Reminded a bit of Bach's Menuet from French Suite n. 2, BWV 813

[@thatretrocattt]

The soundtrack is just so masterful- Amazingly tuned with melody, depth and the story it tells just by itself.

[@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625]

It's really great...

[@jeremym9011]

Damn, if only Hitoshi Sakimoto and Hayato Matsuo did more RPGs on the SEGA Genesis as well as more games! I love his own custom soundriver he made for his games on it.

[@ajbahus]

Ogre Battle 64 is a Sakimoto/Matsuo/Iwata collaboration and probably my favorite N64 OST

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

Large Green Meadow (BGM 04), that Sweeping pad is menacing. its incredible how the composers achieved a sound so full! I guess with no percussion or PCM samples there was more room for delay/echo techniques. It legit sounds like reverb

[@Alianger]

+TheLegendofRenegade He likes to use a lot of detuning; if you play the same note with the same instrument in two channels and slightly change the pitch of one or both it creates the effect heard on the bass in a lot of tracks here. You can also use different vibrato speed and depth on the two channels, for a sort of flanger effect.

[@DarkRevelator]

everybody here knows this is one of the greatest VG soundtracks of all time!!!

[@bilbobagginz2794]

One of my favorite OSTs! What a trip!!

[@J_Aaron_L]

This is amazing! I don't know how I never came across this before.. this is some of the greatest game music ever! End of story.

[@opa-age]

The game is just as amazing

[@Pyro-Moloch]

I've never played this game as a kid, so there's no nostalgia involved when I say this is an amazing soundtrack

[@greenhillmaniac]

OMG, you, my good sir, just uploaded the OST of one of the best orchestral sounding game on the Mega Drive! This is best noted with BGM 06, Into the Deep Blue Sky (my favourite). The best part is when the PSG chip kicks in.

[@oriondx72]

14:42 such a dark song i love it! Overlord!

[@metalmat3651]

23:00 .... talk about a somber song, very emotional and sad

[@colerend4431]

Tilte screen sounds so good. It hypes you up like crazy

Loving the slap bass in Golden Warrior.

[@BrantMarcksson]

Standing in a white fortress was always my favorite but I never knew it had a name. Thank you

[@juanfranciscocordova746]

Childhood right here, me and my brother used to play this in versus mode all day. Good times

[@rrjanik]

the level of intricacy on this soundtrack is stunning

[@retrosoul8770]

This soundtrack blows me away, it's so melancholy and sorrowful, yet powerful at the same time. Easily one of the best scores on the Gen/MD. Too bad not enough people have heard of this game. Too many of the Gens best soundtracks are on games few ppl have played (Gauntlet IV, Devilish etc), meanwhile everyone's played the American "Gems" developed games which barring exceptions usually have terrible sound and...thus the myth continues.

[@JD-yc3oo]

Alisia Dragoon The best of all Genesis OST's, No recognition...

[@Pan_Z]

Have any Mega Drive soundtrack recommendations from games that are relatively unknown to the West?

[@retrosoul8770]

@@Pan_Z oh heck yeah man lol. Langrisser II, Dragon Slayer I and II, Trouble Shooter 2 (aka Battle Mania 2), Gleylancer, Monster World IV, Aa Harimanada, Shi-Kin Joh, Shura no Mon, Time Trax, Twinkle Tale, Verytex etc (already mentioned Devilish and Gauntlet 4). The more music you listen to the more underappreciated you realize Gen/MD music is.

[@bralaha]

@@Pan_Z Yes my friend. Try out MUSHA [kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmetl6aaqt6CkMk] I reckon the genre is kinda speed metal, even a typical walk to the bus stop will feel epic.

[@Digitalhunny]

I saved up & paid $80.00 for this game used in 1994! Still have it & my kids have played it too. Best spending I did as a teenager. 😂

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

This is the best soundtrack on the Sega Genesis.

[@namelessjedi2242]

I grew up with Genesis and love a lot of the music from various games for it. But I must admit this is more sophisticated than I thought Genesis could do. It’s like a revelation. Wish I’d known of it sooner!

[@metalwolf1086]

Loved this game back in the day and brilliant ost

[@benjaminzuniga5750]

02:04 probably the very best FM organ sound that I ever heard on the Mega Drive

[@olavpersson6178]

One of the best videogame soundtracks ever made. I like the highlight tracks as much as the next guy, but I prefer listening to the entire soundtrack as a whole piece, as it follows a really nice emotional journey. About time to obtain and play the game too...I did not grow up playing this game like many of you did. I had a Master System as my parents thought the Mega Drive games where far to violent and detailed...for me, those where the 2 main selling points!. There was some vendetta against violent kids entertainment growing up in Sweden...I remember even the word Ninja getting banned. Which made it so much more interesting to find and enjoy violent VHS movies and video games. :)

[@rockstargamesmysteries526]

The game is timeless, i can see people still enjoying it today. A very great strategy game with infinite replayability.

[@sonyslyer9946]

This is truly a fantastical game Gives me old-school fantasy vibes and some Castlevania vibes too

This is some *really* good music for the genesis.

It's crazy how you can fit an entire orchestra in 10 channels.

[@nathans8177]

I can't help but turn up the volume on my speakers when I hear Large Green Meadow. It truly has one of the best bass synths I have ever heard.

[@cireza_]

I discovered this game because you posted the OST, thank you so much. Awesome soundtrack, and awesome game as well.

[@ClbnaVGM]

Green Meadow is absolutely amazing.

[@supermariobro93]

“Into the Deep Blue Sky”, tho! 🥺💙 Easily my favourite tune, so beautiful and sombre at the same time. Especially when the PSG melody kicks in! (“Purple Time” being a veerry close second)

[@tonmasboy]

DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL...You really help people to discover sega genesis...there is no way to denial that...THANK YOU SO MUCH

One of my all time favorite games i recently picked this game up off ebay CIB so much fun. I like putting it cpu vs cpu vs cpu vs cpu very long battles.

[@balrogz5093]

The feels. Spent many days playing this game. Thanks.

[@phobos2k2]

19:07 "Standing in the White Fortress"... Just wow. Such a shame it was essentially lost in such a relatively obscure game that most have never played, (myself included). Had this track been placed at the right point in the story arc of some popular RPG, I'm sure it would have people weeping. Just beautiful.

[@UndyingZombie]

It was not obscure back when it was still being sold and rented. My brother way back then bought me the game ( hes 15 years older ) when I was a kid. At the time he worked as a manager for several stores that sold and rented out console games, movies, ect. It was one of the titles that in every store he worked at would be completely out the majority of the time. Its one of the best games on Genesis. Its upsetting that the only other Masters of Monsters that was released in the west was on PS1... And it was not really that good.. More so if you compare the two.. Its a IP that.. In my opinion.. Deserves to get re-released. What I mean by that.. Have a sort of 3 games in one pack. The original with the only things changed would be updating everything to actually work on the current systems and resolutions. A online multiplayer mode, better save system with more save slots, and a map editor. 2end in the pack would be the same exact thing mentioned before but with updated GFX, and sound. Also more campaign masters to play as. ( Not a get to chose who you play as but have the same campaign rout as the original two. But fully new ones.. and of course the maps to be available in the non campaign games. ) Then the 3rd would be everything above + new masters, new monsters, alternative upgrade/morph choices making a even bigger variety of monsters. New tile types, new spells, and perhaps even upgrade/morph for the masters as well. ( And elemental spells. Cant forget those things. ) Reason why I would want that sort of setup.. 1. Allows you to play the original with no changes. 2. Allows you to play the same game as the original but with updated gfx and sound.It also allowing for more stuff without any really big changes. 3rd one being of course the one that changes the most but hopefully in a good way. I would probably give several other games the same treatment if I was ever able to do these things.. Like Shining Force 1+2... Bunch of other games as well of course. ( Like D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun.. Buck Rodgers, Dark Sun Wake of the Ravager and Dark Sun Shattered Lands )

[@readtruth6670]

Nostalgia overload

An amazing soundtrack for an amazing game. Played this SO MUCH as a kid.

[@SaltyMeatHook]

I was lucky enough to find this game in a rental store. I ended up buying it from them. Had a buddy who liked to nerd out on this stuff too. We had a ball with it. We had to make up some of our 'honor' rules to make sure we could level up the creatures before they died.

I don't know why but I miss this game, and it's music, so much.

[@MiddleSky]

Large Green Mountain was almost unrecognizable, wow I was missing out on the deeper tones of that track.

[@chitan1362]

The part at 5:20 completely blows me away. To me it almost sound's like the melody alone uses 15+ channels.

[@maxducoudray]

I loved this game and the music is a big part of it. Since the graphics were so minimal, the mood of the music really made it fun to while away the hours doing battle.

Its such a nice composition each track in a game almost unheard of. Something in this absolutely mindboggling Soundtrack, i really can't pinpoint it down, reminds me oddly of the song "Ode a Clavicus" from the french Band "Space Art" i am pretty sure someone got inspiration from there. atleast from the instrumentalisation.
