[@whatifguy9675]

My brother would always get hyped upon hearing the thunder clap right at the title. Those were the days!

[@randomtask9643]

I legit skipped school in the 90's to play this game. So many golden gorilla guys died for my cause. I remember being terrified of that little girl found near Stow.

[@blaiseng7380]

the OST for this game is legendary

[@sprigstone]

The name entry song slowly increases in tempo, suggesting the player to get a move on and play the game. Great sound design

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

One of the better sounding OSTs on the system from a technical perspective. Considering it came out in 1990 makes it even more impressive. imo. Those drums are something else

[@oman1825]

On the same page

[@SaliouNiangwasega]

no, its the best ost of all console

[@CEJOTA1800]

1989*

[@azforlifetime]

Sounds like it has some Pink Floyd influence.

[@willardwilson1127]

What a great game this was! The way they mixed up the play style from walking in the wilderness to the towns, and the caves. SO much fun. I have this on Steam now LOL

[@hocuspocusfocus6229]

Prince: "Art thou ready for Adventure, Royal Horse?!" Horse: "5 Mega memory... with battery lockup. 106 PAGE HINT BOOK INCLUDED"

[@painthenhope]

Gaston Maciel lol! There was no horse though. A cruel trick.

[@GrombarSmash]

I laughed at that way harder than I should have.

[@davesefoster]

OMG I still have that hint book! It's legendary

[@splatbubble]

hahahah Genesis gamebox art by and large sucked. Except for Castle of Illusion!

[@rachelectroDC-84]

Absolutely love this soundtrack, so much so that I've downloaded the whole thing and proudly play it while on vacation, hiking in the UK. It makes for a great soundtrack when visiting an actual castle or hiking into a peaceful village.

[@JimPower64]

Absolutely love stories of folks using game tracks to enhance their world IRL. Same here my friend, same here.

[@segamon]

Such amazing music that stands up against the test of time!

[@ddarko08]

I grabbed this game as soon as it was released, after playing Phantasy Star 2 obsessively. It was a fun game, and I finished it back then, but I was so blown away by the soundtrack! Still one of my favorite soundtracks on the Genesis.

[@David_Alvarez77]

Same with me. I was fixated on those two games.

[@LordTsarkon]

Ready to meet me in the Final Dungeon? I will give you a choice, to follow me as your father once did and make this world suffer as I have suffered. Or you can die.

[@snowglade]

played this game to death in my very early teens with dad as the map writer... good times. Excellent soundtrack I think, fit the game well. They really knew how to compose & program music to get the best out of consoles, spec Megadrive, in them days...

[@williamcrabtree]

this game was 100 bucks back when it first came out....I played this from start to finish after school....took me about a month

[@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorials]

Such an amazing soundtrack. I replayed the game for the first in in many years when I got my Megadrive Mini, and it actually still has a very compelling gameplay loop.

[@victornaut]

Who played the game and actually like it?

[@movesmcjagger2072]

+thronecode I did. Played it a lot as a kid. This, Shining Force, and Phantasy Star IV were the only genesis RPG's I had for a long time.

[@victornaut]

***** It's just a pity that I didn't play Shining Force and Phantasy Star IV. Well, it's never too late and I'm pretty sure if you liked SOV and I will like these games :)

[@vasileios6301]

+thronecode Me also.Its a lovely game.

[@Indowill]

I liked it. Boss battle is completely crap though... It looks awesome and feels like arcade, but changing the perspective on the user (side view in Boss fights vs normal top down when you're facing normal enemies) was extremely disorienting. Add in lousy controls, useless shield that doesn't block anything, inability to squat or dodge anything, inability to heal in battle, makes for a really crappy experience. I gave up at the second or third boss, that shoots a bunch of fireballs that you can only destroy with this awkward upward sword attack, after dying for the umpteenth time.

[@rodrigomaximilian7734]

I played it twice all the way through

[@CyberIce2000]

Played this for the first time on the Switch when it got added to NSO. Killer soundtrack, not sure how this game got past me all these years.

[@varghedin]

Fun fact: If you play the song called "Name entry" (third in this video), it will continue to modulate forever, and eventually it starts making crazy weird white noise and bleeps because the pitch is too high for the renderer.

[@dmer-zy3rb]

2:05 dude i am such a sucker for effects like this - love it! so cool that they put that into the game.

[@lt980]

Village A, it's got to be one of the top 10 video games track of all time!!

[@Dorian_Scott]

The drums in some of these songs sound so crisp.

[@Ztinkyy]

30:56 Castle - one of the most addictive Sega themes ever. Dang!

[@RachelLouiseSwann]

Yes! Loved it back then, and do so now - have to say it sounds better on the actual Mega Drive hardware than the PC...but still...greatness never fades!

[@Ikouy]

I picked this game up as part of SEGA’s massive steam sale and I’m having difficulties putting it down. Thankfully SEGA does license their genesis controllers so I’m pretending it’s an alternate 1990.

[@CobraGamingpcmobile]

Best Game Music Ever?

[@fantv525]

It brings back so great memories. Thank you so much Dustin for this upload :'(

[@Ghostwolf173]

Statts was a banger

[@flamingwoodz]

Really love this soundtrack. Thanks for the high quality upload!

[@helzefeld5]

"Are you ready for the task ahead?"

[@axel4196]

I still remember the brand new smell of the plastic when I first opened the game...

[@EricLinArt]

nostalgic moment. I remember this game and remember playing it when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing =)

[@DJSHaKa]

I believe Yamaha made the sound chip in these consoles. Veterans in sound and synth..

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

Dungeon 2 kicks all sorts of ass

[@NotaPizzaGRL]

I finished this game solely because of the soundtrack. It's alright but it gets really frustrating at times especially the boss battles.

[@GrantGannon8]

one of my fav's for musical score!

[@daltons8972]

great game.. but the cover is misleading. you never have a horse.

[@GranMaese]

+Dalton Simmons LoL, I always thought the same when I was a kid.

[@splatbubble]

@@GranMaese Plus you're not wearing a freaking crown in the game! You look like something out of Warhammer 3000. Boy howdy Genesis games were great but most of their cover art sucked! From the blond guy from West Side Story on Strider, to Mads Mikkelson looking rough on Phantasy Star 2...

[@Orcishihi]

@@GranMaese Haha, same here.

[@eurositi]

My 9 favourites here: Opening; Statts; Erias; Village A; Shop (Village); Dungeon (1); Dungeon 2; Jiji Theme; Light Song. "Boss B", "Ending" and "Last City" share the prize as the most 1980s-styled themes.

[@calebchild4467]

This is a pretty good soundtrack. It doesn't make use the Genesis's high number of voices to provide the high-energy tracks the systems is usually known for, but it delivers such a strong focus good melodies to more than make up for that. Also, there is a lot of variety in the instrumentation, with a lot of well-chosen sounds to work with a fantasy theme. Particularly impressive for an earlier Genesis title before GEMS was created.

[@hazchem1]

simply awsome through 8.1 surround on my 8k set up.

[@pg412]

Listening to "battle," my brain just keeps adding the "HOORRAAAAWWWW!" of enemies dying.

[@ivgentis]

When I played this game I did enjoy the music but never noticed how good it is until I just listened to it without playing.

[@MrBoJangles]

Statts is amazing! Sounds like it a Shin Megami Tensai 4 track.

[@varghedin]

Anyone think the "Last City" track at 36: 55 could be a featured track on its own? That ending is just wicked!

[@MrDerOutsider]

this one is totally awesome! :)

[@lousyacrobat]

23:00 had me straight bumpin at the clurb

[@PandinusRex]

This game needs a remake. Get on it Game Designers!

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

Do you plan on doing Rent-A-Hero too one day? That game has the same composer and instruments as this one its really cool

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

TheLegendOfRenegade I will add it to The List

[@gordyowl9455]

He also composed for Michael Jackson's moonwalker too?

[@Bu33ab3]

Awesome game, awesome music!

[@Orcishihi]

First rpg I've ever played.

[@chrism2027]

Sau geiler Soundtrack alleine dafür ist der Megadrive neben dem Gameplay von einigen sehr geilen Games einfach nur Mega,

[@theonlyfatlash]

Ahhhhhh that takes me back. Awesome

[@zeus4867]

Why does "Village A" theme sound so familiar to me? As if I know it from somewhere else?

[@axeshredder02]

The soundtrack totally saved this game

[@axeshredder02]

No it wasn't awful to play at all, but without the amazing soundtrack it would have been very average. It's actually one of my favorite genesis games and it's definitely worth picking up. Should be relatively cheap too.

[@spatchmo6938]

+ben owen I know that I played this game a lot as a kid, but I have no real recollection of it so that makes me think it was probably more bland than outright bad. I do know that this was Yu Suzuki's attempt at an RPG though, and games produced by Yu Suzuki tend to own faces.

[@elusivelogic6704]

2:04 let's face it, you came here for this part.

[@elusivelogic6704]

And 4:26

[@johnnyindeep6893]

4:26 is siiick

[@Kropotkin2000]

Nah. 6:39

[@segajukebox]

Last City and statts are incredible

[@RampagingJupiter]

When I played this game as a kid, I would walk into the shop and just stand there for like 30mins.

[@geekstreat]

Awesome soundtrack! I liked this game but I also like super pitfall so there ya go.

[@anmishel]

Лучшая игра для sega genesis

[@emiliopauloageno6358]

Still waiting for the remake!

[@aldoreyvalderrama]

I own this game, booklet and all... Played it a way later, around 1995. Great gameplay, music and graphics for the time. Boss battles are whack though. "Last City" is an amazing track, that still pumps me up to this day. Shame the actual final boss battle is as bland as all previous ones. Still, amazing game. Great towns.

[@splatbubble]

I couldn't beat the final boss without Old Nick Armor. My older brother could... but then again I just kinda suck at videogames in general. TOTALLY AGREE on the Cartahena music though.

[@propheciesorg203]

Dungeon 2 - Vermilion's Theme

[@jonathonrenaud1649]

Ive been looking for a copy for 20 years

[@jonathonrenaud1649]

And i played it non stop for 5 years

[@andersdenkend]

Love this OST! Never played the game, though. :D

[@HYPIndustriesLLC]

In here for Last City!

[@TheKiman2]

Okay game. Fantastic music.

[@BuckeyeChris3]

That one note. You know which one I"m talkin about. BOWWWWWWWWW

[@jyp2680]

"From your beginnings in the humble village of Wyclif, you must search the world for the eight rings of good."

[@PandinusRex]

I love this game, but it could be pretty frustrating at times. I remember one time when I got so angry I punched the armchair I was sitting on so hard the Mega Drive glitched ( it was on the floor at the time). Ah, Good Times...

[@tiiito1988]

"106 page hint book"

[@bigcladwolfdetecting6017]

6:39 My theme song when I enter any dive bar in NYC

[@robintst]

- "Are you ready for the task ahead?" Noooottt in the least... but let's do this anyway. ::raises sword with a dopey expression and runs off::

[@TruFilmProductions]

8:33 & 22:06 😍

[@tradingsystemsgroup5312]

The inspiration for the Game of Thrones theme.

[@FatFilipinoUK]

It's as if Vangelis wrote RPG music.

[@vansajexora]

SST Band

[@MorteMcAdaver]

Do you have a FLAC version of the soundtrack available for download?

[@gordyowl9455]

29:21 is this Thriller from Michael Jackson's moonwalker?

[@stever3832]

So where is Village B?

[@Zinkyness]

The game was pretty awful but the soundtrack was just fantastic.

[@Nathan-rb3qp]

Janky gameplay but good music.

[@SERGEY_LIGHTNING]

V

[@thorndust5329]

The only song here I'm not a fan of is the "Church" theme.

[@novascotianinfj]

game was a disapointment. too easy. duck and swing your sword..... vs every dragon. rest was ok

[@bkalb25]

This games OST has nothing on Traysia

[@davebladegun3009]

bkalb25 Wrong.

[@afropowa1598]

One of the worst RPG ever.........with one of the best ost ever! I never knew town's themes could be so funky. Erias is my fav.!

[@kikihideout4966]

horrible game but sexcellent music!

[@DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL]

KIKI Hideout I wouldn't know, I've never played it. I'm a retrogamer for sure but early 90s RPGs make me break out in hives.

[@MrDerOutsider]

DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL final fantasy is okay.

[@victornaut]

+KIKI Hideout It's your opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@elgoog-the-third]

If Phantasy Star makes you "break out in hives" you should see a doctor asap.
