@RetroRepair I was actually in the process of returning the board to a friend. He sold it to me for $50 a few years back but I didn't have the cash on me when he gave me the board. He told me to pay him later but I discovered the sound issue before sending payment, so he just told me to give the ...

1:45 and beyond reminds me of "Like a Night of Falling Stars" from stage 4 of Mushihimesama.

@Ace9921 Do you know if the difficulty settings are the same on the versions of both games that you played?

Jesus, how many dunks can you miss!?

@figment1988 I was wondering the same. What an awesome piece of arcade history!

Good God, this guy's wall jumping and enemy timing is CRAZY!!! I don't see how this game could possibly be finished much faster. Maybe an absolutely perfect programmed performance shaves about 2 seconds off.

@buckeye78353 Then how do you explain Barry Manilow's "Who's Been Sleeping in my Bed"?

Cool, click at :02 and loop every 4 beats and you're Daft Punk!

@voxer16333 I could be wrong, but I think that line comes from "Hypnotical Gases".

Why is Crash Man's music playing for Wood Man?

Very nice! Never heard this rendition before. I noticed that your proximal knuckles are in hyperextension sometimes. Does this cause pain or discomfort while playing or is this just what comes naturally?

@lloydpopp13 Thumbs WAY up on this comment! It's the reason I looked this vid up.

Audio patches sound like those from Zelda 2: Adventures of Link.

Contra? It's really not that hard, plenty of kids beat that without the code.

I just got the game so I can't even break 1:30 yet. I'll let you know if I break 1:06.16. I don't have a direct recording device, but I'll figure something out.....even if it means leaving my cab on for days.

@CO9207 Ryno = Ryne Sandberg. His nickname was "Ryno".

This is painful to watch knowing that you're never gonna play it in your lifetime.

I wish the RPG's my older brother played when I was a kid had music like this. Shoot, I'd have probably played them myself instead of being bored watching my brother play.

Wow, Joe Mauer hit 2nd for Baltimore back in '87? He must have been 4 years old at the time.

Wow, not a single mention of "Fist of the North Star" in this review.

For some compositions I truly prefer the Genesis, but this isn't one of them. Frantic tracks like the 3rd on this demo I think are better on Genesis, but the more epic and orchestral tracks sound much fuller on the SNES.

"Four stars for *belch* 'Ninja Baseball Batman'."

This game originally uses a joystick to move around the screen and a press down spinner to fire and change fire direction. It's the only configuration that allows you to play the game correctly. I suppose you could use dual joysticks too ala Robotron or Smash TV, but that would limit you to 8-way...

What game is this music from?

240p for model 2 genesis

@OrangeSodaKing THANK YOU!! I couldn't remember what piano concerto it was that this was from. The sad truth (or funny truth depending on how you look at it) is that when I heard that piano concerto for the first time, I thought "Wow, that sounds an awful lot like City Connection". Kinda weird wh...

WHOA!! That's awesome, Karl!

@jtheyellow I appreciate the OneUps reference, my friend. Definitely cool to see a different take on VG themes and I'll be checking their stuff out from now on. To be honest, I think the liberty that they take with some of the themes actually dumb them down rhythmically (i.e. bass patterns in Mic...

Love this Hashimoto tribute, used to use it for my CAW.

Did he just climb a waterfall at 2:33?

Charging headbutt into each other....classic. I don't think I ever heard the boss music for this long in my life.

@PeterBParker I noticed the same thing. Some of the orchestra hits sound like Art of Noise also.

It sounds like the Qsound takes a small percentage of the sound from each channel and deposits it with a slight delay in the opposite channel for a reverberated effect of the atmosphere.

Nice how you harmonized the melody to Mute City.

Heard you guys at the Warriors game 4/10, sounded good! Gotta give some credit to Jackson 5 for this one.

Dave's collection is so nice it actually pisses me off. Seriously though, Dave is the man.

Every side-scrolling beat-am-up from the late nineties? Whoops.
