If like me you grew up in awe of the high-end Sega arcade machines with their moving cabinets – Space Harrier, Outrun, Afterburner and Galaxy Force – then you no doubt have fond memories of the music from these games.
I just stumbled across this excellent remix of one of the most memorable tunes from Afterburner II – hope you enjoy it as much as I did:
Retro Ramblings
Musings on FPGA and Retro Computing
Oh, yeah! Galaxy Force II was my favorite…with the full motion cockpit…I thought the game was just mind blowing…
Yup Galaxy Force II was amazing – though my favourite game from that era was always Space Harrier.
(“Welcome to the Fantasy Zone – Get Ready!”)
I have always preferred Out Run, if I have to chose a Yu Suzuku dual-68000 arcade.
Here’s a very interesting reverse-engineered implementation of the game engine, wich runs very well on my Raspberry Pi. I’ve never seen something like this with an arcade game!
