I've about decided that C64 (Sid), Amiga (Paula) and then Mega Drive / Genesis are the HOLY TRINITY of chip music.

And it's not even strictly about technical shit, but some alchemy of fresh possibilities and unique limits; they inspired the most phenomenal creativity. The vocabulary of electronic music itself would be diminished by half, if you were to somehow remove them from the historical equation.

[SaviourV]

@pawnduit Agreed, and QFT (quoted for truth). Before video game music became more instrumental, our earliest memories came from chiptunes like these. And I still don't know why this theme brings tears to my eyes every now and then. Arguably, it's just electronic signals (beeps and bops), which, to an absolute rookie / beginner, wouldn't mean much, but to the maestros who made music like this, those noises would make history! And they most certainly have, in so many ways.

@SaviourV

I can make themes like this :O

[pimps1986]

This is one of the best songs ever in this game. It's so relaxing and you can jam to this...lol!! They don't make video game music like they used to anymore. It's official, I miss Sega Genesis and I miss the 1990s!

THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!!!

@pimps1986

people still hate me because i say the sega gen is the best 16 bit system on the planet. even thought it was short lived it was the best.

[pimps1986]

@thestutteringrapper: I agree with you on this. I miss Sega Genesis, for real! I miss playing with it!

[jacksprat1990]

@thestutteringrapper It wasn't short lived.

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

Ahhhh... This is definitely one of my favorite tracks from this awesome game! It's so damn cool and jazzy! It's almost like having a fresh breeze cool you off after winning a fight against a cholo and hearing his friends say "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE FOOS!". HAHAHAA!!

[Chepito2846]

is it just me,or those this sound like a theme from castlevania bloodlines.the intro theme.

[RocMegamanX]

So this is one of the ending themes?

Too bad I probably won't be able to get to any of them....the game's that hard.

[TancerFang]

Is it me or is this "The hard corps" slowed down?

[Thugz4Less]

@TancerFang its called "hard corps blues" so yes.

[HowlingMoonCinemas]

@TancerFang Of course, it's the main theme of the game. But, this one obviously has a completely different tone, and fancier melodies, some that aren't even in the original theme. What an excellent track, by the way!

[Unheard88]

Epic Track brings so many memories,very cool old game.I still remember how i played in this game 24 hours at day, greetings from Russia.

Привет всем с России =)

[earthless1990]

@Unheard88 привет из Азербайджана :) эпичный саундтрек к эпичной игре

[zabersuv]

genesis had bad music psssh yeah right

[tbone2004]

And so a hero's story ends...

Despite the Alien Cell being destroyed and Colonel Bahamut defeated, evil has still prevailed in it's mission. With the brave warriors of the HARD CORPS dead, Red Falcon will surely rise again...

THANKS FOR PLAYING! SEE YOU NEXT MISSION!

[earthless1990]

this track brings back so many memories. btw what's a genre... 8-bit?

[DoomedDuckBabyMario]

@earthless1990

no hard corps was on the 16 bit sega geneses.

the super nintendo was also 16 bit

[Herman0709]

@DoomedDuckBabyMario the snes version is contra 3

[kenwatch77]

If I were to ever be killed in military combat, I would want this song played at my funeral. Maybe at a slower Tempo.

[stolendata]

coolest track in the game

[the0michman]

thats it punks, your battle's all over Bahamut's dead the world is safe.

for now

[SaviourV]

@the0michman A hollow victory, for Red Falcon may never die....*brings out the saxophone, and starts playing the first few notes of this...*

[SaviourV]

@the0michman I think this theme should also be played in Hard Corps: Uprising. Bahamut is the hero in that game, and his fall from grace from his days as a war hero would make this song a fitting tribute to him.
