In another thread someone was discussing Sonic the Hedgehog games and their music.
I've combined 1 + 2 and put it on a .zip file for your listening pleasure. File is roughly 100MB.

Just a random video game music fact for the day:

I ripped Sonic 1's songs but keep in mind (not like it matters) that the person who ripped Sonic 2's music falsely tagged "Yuzou Koshiro" as the person who wrote them. THAT'S FALSE. He wrote the Sonic music for GameGear and Master System. - he also wrote Streets of Rage's music, which is awesome as well.
The correct person who wrote Sonic 1 + 2's music is Masato Nakamura.
He did not write Sonic 3's music. Believe it or not, Michael Jackson was hired to write it but Sega dropped him because of child molestation allegations. I guess someone just updated this on the wiki, haha.
The Sonic 3 music and Sonic Spinball music was composed by Howard Drossin, although certain melodies rip Michael Jackson off. Who is Howard Drossin? He also wrote the music for the Sega game COMIX ZONE, which has great metalish music, Baldur's Gate, and various movies including BLADE TRINITY. /end lame fact

sonic 3's act 2 boss and final boss themes are probably the best out of the sonic games

bump for those fuckheads that didn't see/dl this the first time around

Comix Zone is one of the worst games i've ever played.

DLed listening soon.

bump for bradness

fuckin A dude, thanks!

man, this brings back memories. My friend was rich and had a huge tv in his parents basement, which they just let us do whatever we wanted. ruled. I remember getting wasted on Cisco and Mad Dog and playing SOnic for hours, it's kind of weird just hearing the music without the sound of collecting coins. fucking kid had a pool table, air hockey, sega, dirtbikes, MAD STUFF. then his dad filed for bankruptcy...PARTY OVER!!!

ministry land of rape and honey does that to me with my turbographix16
