@michelrpg Sure is! The problem with today's video game music is little of it is catchy or memorable. Back in the day any attempt at ambience whatever or dynamic music would suck. You couldn't have music that was just an eerie tone in the background that created an awesome experience. All music needed to be at least kind of catchy. And that's why today's games are full of audio that adds so much to the level but is totally forgettable, but older games are full of good songs.
@MicroChirp I have both systems and love them just as equally, but yes this is definatley one of the best tunes on the SNES. I'd like this game too, played it on an emulator and its really good.
Like M. Galway, R. Hubbard, the Follin's created some of THE BEST chip tunes in history AND just like the others, the games they made such great music for are generally poop. I'd play the games soley to listen to the tunes.
@Meatfortoeat Probably because Plok himself is wearing no pants so you may be thing of a Plok band and of course they are too look like Plok which means they aren't wearing pants!
God I love this song. I remember there was this website where a fan made page said "Bring Plok back in Plok 64." Im sure this was made waaay back in the late 90's, but the site is closed.
@Chanddlerr Haven't a clue.....surely a group of people can get together and do it you YT. You'd need to be really talented though...of course, I'm not =)
The music was created by Tim Follin, who also did the music for the SNES version of Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcades Revenge. The guy was a musicial god and could make the SNES's sound chip do things it was never intended to.
Tim Follin was one of my favourite composers from the 8-bit era. I loved his work on the ZX Spectrum. His SNES work was superb as well, he also done Rock n Roll Racing and, of all things, Thomas the Tank Engine?!?
And in my opinion Revenge of Shinobi. But enough about my opinions, this game is one I have never played before, just plucked it out of random and uploaded the title music. I have the whole soundtrack somewhere in my external HD and I'd like to upload it at some point in 2010!
As a game it's not quite so brilliant. Some people say the play gets a little repetitive, and I must admit, until you get to the main island, Akrillic, which is the third section of the game, where the gameplay mechanic changes totally, the levels are a bit samey.
But definitely play it. The artwork and music are top notch.
Will do, thanks for sharing that! Looked at screenshots and it looks quite good so I'll look forward to playing, maybe I can record it and post it here!
As i was a child, i played this game hours and hours, but i never finished it in hardmode. Now, 15 years later i tried it again and I DID IT!!!! :) Heavy Stuff !!
This music ROCKED back in the day.

I didn't know he did RnRR, but the music was awesome on that too.
He also did some pretty good C64 music too like Ghosts n Goblins.

The music for this game all the way through was absolutely awesome. Nothing on 16 bit came close, except perhaps some of the Sonic tunes.
