Best SNES RPG soundtrack.

I give the Oscar to Japan Music Artists ☺

Starting with all the great SEGA Soundtracks (Outrun, Shenmue).
Also awesome: a lot of Konami, Raizing, Capcom & Taito Music.
And there is Final Fantasy, Part 7 is often mentioned when regarding outstanding VG - Music.

Another one: the Amiga -Soundtrack of Sensibles "Cannonfodder". Amazing! Reggae/Ska with vocals ("War has never been so much Fun" 😂)

"Shadow of the Colossus" is IMHO one of the best Soundtracks in category "Videogames".

Oh, must be real Retro ? Well in that case: "Hotline Miami"

Have a nice day,

If you like Robocop on the spectrum you might like this cover/remake:

The album is great (I'm a little biased as I helped with it by splitting up the original AY tracks for use in the tunes)

Gameboy version of Robocop is excellent - that was the version used in the old Ariston adverts afair. I have that as the ringtone on my phone.

Love Turrican 2 also - great soundtrack.

@BuZz Oh my word. I just listened to the Robocop track and LOVED it. I'm getting all 3 albums tommorow when I get paid. Amazing!

Clearly you're unfamiliar with the Donkey Kong Country or Killer Instinct or Final Fantasy VI(III)

@obsidianspider DKC 1-3 have amazing soundtracks, never kared for Killer Instinct, wanted to play FFVI. But my backlog has too many games, thank God summer is here. I actually have time.

@lilbud My new favorite soundtrack is Shovel Knight. So. Good.

lilbud

@obsidianspider I want a 16-bit Shovel Knight

Sano

FZero has so nice musics (Mute city, Big blue).
I especially remember the moon level theme of Duck Tales too.
Space harrier theme, outrun, ... So many of them are great!
Not counting all FF, Zelda and Mario of course...

I don't have any interest in this, but let me share this webradio one more time :

I seriously love the Earthbound title song. AMAZING! Releasing a remix of that soon.

@SutterKane Hotline Miami is boss. The gerne Outrun is personally my favorite in Synthwave, which is why I've created lotsa songs similar to the Hotline Miami Soundtrack.
