I remember in the european version that I had the main character wore blue armor and a helmet. In the US version he had a big blonde hairdo. I also remember the fantaaaaastic soundtrack.
@Fistwagon, yeah and the character was smaller too. Jay looks like this in the US version because it was supposed to be a Terminator game, but Sunsoft lost the license.
no. it was originally a japanese game with a different main character. when it was brought over to the US it WAS going to be a Terminator game but Sunsoft lost the rights.
Maybe not quite 100%, at least every once in a while we get a few gems on Xbox Live/PSN/WiiWare like the ReBirth series and MegaMan 9, made in 2D and built from the ground up like the kickass games of the past.
I will not agree 100% JUST because he said "music" instead of "set of songs", because for me, the best one still is the first level of Batman. But there is nothing like the set of Journey to Sillius. It is amazing to see all the details, like the drums and the bass...
No kidding, they to make music for games nowadays Simple, catchy and effective. The last memorable soundtrack that i heard from a game was Mega Man 9...Wario Land Shake it!, Super paper mario and maybe World of Goo!
There were only few NES tunes reaching this length (Action 52 music where same patterns are played in different times don't count). Most notably Codemasters and Tim Follin made a few-minute songs.
Probably my favorite song on the game here. I remember having a challenge from one of my friends to go through this stage without getting hit once and I did it.
hey man,, do this for the genesis game midnight resistence, ill love ya forever,,,, i love what you did here with these stages, its great!!!! thanks alot, matt,,, savannah GA

Its rare to find an nes music that last about 2-3 min before looping. Had this artifact when I was little.

Yeah all games seem to be about anymore is graphics and absurd features. Gaming is officially, 100% commercialized.

I wonder what changes they made to make it a Terminator game, obviously the boss but also the background in stage 1 looks very fitting.

I consider this game loosely based off Terminator, just so I can call it a Terminator game whilst being somewhat correct.

@Jacob9k1 And now Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Don't care what the whiny purists said, it's on par with the Genesis originals in every way.

Today's developers overlook the power of a good soundtrack. They should look back to this era for guidance.

Yeah they did, they were the best company IMO when it came to the original NES, but once 16 bit era came.. they fell over..
My god they put there heart and soul into the music and graphics of there games though. such as this one, Batman, Gremlins 2, and Blaster Master.

Right, that's it, I've been a slave to these uploads for far too long - where can I find som decent mp3s of these tracks?
And, if possible, where can I find some of other great game themes?
Most VGM albums only seem to have about 10-15 different games (but a shitload of tracks from the) and none of them are from the games I'm after.
