TMNT Turtles in Time, or TMNT Hyperstone Heist: a musical comparison.

I vote Hyperstone. The samples are sharper (samples, haha, they're FM) and doesn't have the SNES echo to make them even less fidelicious.

I did a couple spots where both the SNES and Genesis play at the same time :D

Discuss.

Here's a video to make it more clear. :D

@Rookervik SNES version, maybe its just because I love that game.

@Rookervik soundtrack wise, it's hands down Hyperstone. Gameplay, I'm all in Turtles In Time. That's only because of the countless hours button mashing I wasted over a weekend rental with it back in yesteryear. Those tend to weigh in on my vote.

Hey, title says it all. Musical comparison. :P Genesis had slightly higher resolution, SNES had some better graphics for sure. Gameplay... was actually pretty close to the same. But MUSIC.... man Hyperstone killed it. :D

In particular, the orchestra hits on SNES were delayed a little, sounding sluggish, and the snare drum cut off before it finished playing. The guitar also had a mighty deep filter on it making it sound like it was coming from a speaker under your bed mattress. While the Genesis used FM synth for most instruments except a few such as the snare. Sounds a lot more crisp.

Sega Genesis is a very underrated console. I been playing on original hardware using HD Retrovision cables and some RGB BNC cables for a Sony PVM-14N6U.

We modded one with a MegaAmp, so when hooked up to a stereo receiver, the Sega is seriously amazing in sound.

Back on topic, Turtles in Time for SNES is amazing on all fronts. But Hyperstone Heist was a little gem that never got the spotlight it deserved. I think it's a solid game all around as well.
