NES Title Screen Music - Platoon

[KompoundTheBassholik]

This was sampled by Diplo, wasn't this?

[ezzekhiel]

@KompoundTheBassholik

Yes in the title Newsflash

[AssMaster0069]

@KompoundTheBassholik Yes! But I think I could of made a better beat, and song out of it.

[PropellerBusted]

@KompoundTheBassholik Yes, Diplo sampled this for Diplo Rhythm on his Florida album.

[josethiriel]

thanks man.

Jonathan Dunn is without a doubt a fantastic composer. The best part of the games he's credited on is the OST. Though I've heard he had nothing to do with the NES version of Platoon, for the music was done by a band called New. I've heard this from someone named "Doommaster1994" not sure if it's completely legit.

[twoforty]

sick, sick beat.

[paerarru]

8-bit nirvana.

[supahdupahguy81]

Someone needs to take the bass from this then add the synth's from the c64 version, that would = WIN..

[TheHevquip]

@supahdupahguy81 There's a site called Youtube Doubler or something where you can upload two Youtube videos at once and play them. Or just open two browsers with each song in one and see what it sounds like!

[Doommaster1994]

The ending credits say the composer's name is NEW. Whoever that is...

[Fastphase1]

@Doommaster1994 Jonhatan Dunn from Ocean Software. The NES version by Sunsoft is actually a port of the Commodore 64 version by Ocean Software.

[Doommaster1994]

He may have been the original composer, but this version was developed by a Japanese company, so the developer must have learned the song by ear or something. I could ask Jon though to make sure.

[Alighero]

This song is totally the basis of Diplo Rhythm.

[Threepwood16]

Made love to this music.

[budkin]

Forgot how badass this music was... to bad the game was atrocious.

[GreatLakesDrifta]

I like the C64 version of this the best... Nothing like a good sid chip-tune!

[slimshady0297]

Anyone else load this game up just to hear this song? The game itself is awful.

[Cenamark2]

@slimshady0297 I did at times. But I actually liked it.  The first level is a bit frustrating, but once past it, It picked up. I even beat it once.

[TekMoliGy]

its like they made an entire shitty game out of the lost woods section of legend of zelda 1

[Zazabar]

I always thought the 5th guy from the right was playing the violin.

[tortuise08]

this song is eched in my cranium ahhhh!!

[slimshady0297]

I think they spent more time on the title screen of the game than the actual game.

[mlysiak]

i remember this music giving me goose bumps when I was 5... it still does

[NintendoGuy15]

I have this game.cant even get past I first level,TOO HARD!

[MassLurker]

the first level is half the game

[jmajesty79]

loved this still do

[Jdub14000]

They actually made a game for the movie? Wow.

[somersetforever]

I always remembered this game because the title music was so awesome.

Although the game itself sucked, this was Def. best intro music for NES

[KP5000]

this is about tied with golgo 13 as my favorite nes title screen music.

[KP5000]

lol. i wouldn't go that far, but it's one of the best video game theme songs i've heard.

the game pretty much sucked, but the time i rented it, i watched the opening a dozen times or more.

[tomski1998]

Diplo have sampled this. Check out Diplo - Newsflash.

[robbiew73]

maybe you should compare it to the C64 version.. which came out along time before it!

[Zuranthus]

i played this when i was like 6 or 7 & even after all these years i still remember the music & even the little intro movie it had

[meggido666]

what??? Vietnam man...

[RealRastan]

Perfect!!

[krux77]

so this is what diplo used, i always thought it was metroid..

[wormwood5073]

best part of the game is the title screen music

[fuzzybyte]

it's the only part that's not utter shit

[meggido666]

agree... I remember I would just keep this rolling a long time. The game itself stinked.

[pepsitexaco]

I don't know the underground tunnel network was pretty cool. Also I remember thinking how awesome it was that you had to shoot off flares to see the enemy. The first level was pretty bad though.

[deyc3]

been looking for this forever!!
