I'm guessing the music from the Genesis/MegaDrive version here is sampled from the 50hz PAL version. I own the 60hz version for the US market, the song is significantly faster. But oddly enough, the Desert Strike theme seemed to be going at the normal sample rate. Did you somehow get a hold of the 60hz version of that, or did you sample from another video?

@fearingalma1550 I connected my Mega Drive and SNES directly to my laptop They are both the PAL versions.

People always forget the megadrive has a Frequency modulation chip and the SNES has a sample based one. obvisouly if you know what ur doing the megadrive cna pump out a good sound, but snes has some superior game tracks since fm modulation can't "emulate" some harmonics that sampled based music can.. so as a gamer and soundtrack loves the snes and genesis are completly diferent and equally good.

I got this game's mega drive version somewhere and despite the slight clunciness, it's fun. One of these days I must try rebooting my mega drive for good old 16-bit madness

Given how much people praise the snes sound chip...it really has butchered some soundtracks. The Strike games and Flashback being prime examples.

I watched a playthrough on Jungle Strike on the SNES and it was slower than the Mega Drive version. I think they made some of the enemies easier as the guy managed to take out an Abrams with 2 Hellfires and it never fired as rapid. But in the Mega Drive port it took nearly all your ammo and a life for your troubles. I'm glad I was brought up with the Mega Drive versions of the Strike series as you said it was superior. Its a shame as I loved both consoles back then SNES deserved better.
