MSX - Music from Penguin Adventure, part 1

Part 1 of the music from Konami's 1986 action game Penguin Adventure, or Yumetairiku Adventure as the japanese title goes. This is the series that brought you Penta, the daredevil penguin mascotte of Konami for years to come. Another interesting detail is that this was supposedly the first game to work on for Hideo Kojima - the brain behind the Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid franchise. The music for this game was composed by Kenichi Matsubara and Moai Sasaki. Sasaki later did the music for Firebird/Hinotori, another game that had great PSG sound.

I plan on doing a few more soundtracks that feature good PSG music, the default 3-channel sound chip of the MSX system. Download the soundtrack (28 mp3 (192kbs) tracks) here:
