Easily one of the most technical tune from a Nintendo-licensed game without the use of cartridge sound options. This game really shows that the NES PCM is really good at: Old School beats!
This game was definitely neat with its use of DPCM. Most games would use it just for drums, Sunsoft had the most wicked basslines... while Zombie Nation has this sort of unique blend of 'trying to do it all'. My favorite example of this is the Exodus track. If you mute all the other channels, the sample channel is busy almost %100 of the time. There's little break between all the samples, and it sort of contributes this low pitched rumbling 'mess', only it sounds awesome. :)
I love this. I really do.
