VGM Hall of Fame: Grounseed - Shop Demo (PC-98)

[@dorkasaurus_rex]

dude what the hell this is WAY too good for a shop theme, chill the f out Ryu Umemoto

[@faceheadman]

i believe shop demo means it would play in pc98 booths promoting the game / hardware. as in its literally for the shop to demonstrate the pc

[@jordanjackson6151]

This game always had a killer OST. But then that's just PC-98 for you. Yeah an odd theme for a shop. But hell if it ain't good for so many other things.

[@carbunky6098]

I believe the "shop demo" was the demo used to showcase the game at doujin shops in Japan, though I may be wrong

[@jordanjackson6151]

@@carbunky6098 Not a bad piece of information though. It sounds more inline with what a theme would be used for back then. So I wouldn’t be surprised if you were right.

I fuck with the entire song really, but the fucking Genesis noise wall at the end is peak

[@SHINBAXTER]

THIS SONG IS A WHOLE QUEST IN ITSELF! DON'T EVEN NEED THE GAME XD =)

[@superarty7]

Best shop theme out there?

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

I've heard better but this is pretty good

[@superarty7]

where?

[@danmakuman]

@@attackofthecopyrightbots You couldn't listened better than Ryu Umemoto

[@harizotoh7]

Enter shop to buy potion. Instead get some prog rock album.

[@indigotyrian]

this didnt actually play in an in-game shop, it's "shop demo" because it's the soundtrack part of the game's attract mode, which was designed for actual real-life shops to set up and play on PC-98s in order to help sell the systems

I like this one but it seems like a odd choice for a shop theme. Always makes me sad that theres no tabs for these obscure awesome songs.

[@VGMhalloffame]

ahh no, it's not an in-game shop theme but rather the music that played during the demo of the game that was on display in Japanese computer stores. This track doesn't actually appear in the full game

[@_Xstatic_]

Oooh that makes more sense that's cool

[@Conan_the_Based]

So was this the BGM that plays when you sold your Short Sword to afford a Long Sword?

[@T_K7]

No lol, it's the music that played in real-world game stores when they had a kiosk with a demo of this game loaded. I'm pretty sure all of the actual in-gamer music was done by Ryu Takami.

[@metalxxxgear4894]

nice

[@MaplewoodStreet]

This song is fucking sick?????? omg :O
