While videogame music CDs are a common occurrence in Japan, far too little in the way of game soundtracks ever made it outside its shores. This is a large part of why it was such great news when Mars Colony Music announced that it would be licensing the Streets of Rage 2 original CD soundtrack and at long last bringing it stateside.
The stereo capabilities of the Genesis and improved sound performance just made the generation jump that much more enjoyable. Granted, this is coming from someone who thinks the ability to pause a game is the best thing to come out of the 8-bit generation, but as someone who has always loved good videogame music, it was a boon to finally be able to listen to those game tracks without having to load the game, advance to a particular spot in a level, and then find a safe spot and sit there.
The greatest addition the move to 16-bit systems brought is the advent of the soundtest. Genre: Music Developer: Yuzo Koshiro Publisher: Mars Colony Music Released: 3/20/01
