I was surprised I couldn't find a topic like this...
Anyways, here goes mine:
(No order)
Gate Of Thunder
Monster Lair
JB Harold Murder Club
Air Zonk
Bonk's Revenge
It's gonna be interesting seeing which soundtrack pops up the most :D
IMPOSSIBLE to answer this.
But, my immediate knee-jerk answer at 7:15 pm today:
(No particular order, a$$holes)
Legendary Axe II
Dungeon Explorer (HuCARD and/or CD)
Valis II
Ys I & II (that's cheating!)
Bloody Wolf
7:17 and I already want to take out Ys because everyone knows that it is too godlike to even be with the others.
7:19 and I know I am missing something...
At least on track in Bloody Wolf annoys me...so does it really deserve to be in the Top 5?
7:20 and I rethinking every game on my list now.
Dragon Spirit has mediocre tracks, then some of the best EVA. And why didn't I include Legendary Axe I?
^lovely pondering skilzz
I have limited TG experience but out of the few I have played (including CD's):
Last Alert
Neutopia II
Alien Crush
Bonk's Adventure
Neutopia
If PCE were included it would be Drac X hands down. That may be some of my favorite video game music of all time.
My favorite Hu Card soundtracks:
Blazing Lazers,
Legendary Axe,
Dungeon Explorer,
Devil's Crush,
Alien Crush
My favorite CD soundtracks:
Gate of Thunder
Lords of Thunder
Ys 3,
Last Alert
Prince of Persia
only TG-16 or also PCE?
Ys III: Wanderers from Ys
Ys Book I & II
Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys
Gate of Thunder
[Can't think of a 5th one...]
Definitely think GoT has the greatest soundtrack for any shooter I ever encountered. Loved the guitar-playing in it! I had also included it in the cassettes I made BITD for listening to in the car along with Ys tracks plus some FF.
Quote from: Tatsujin on 06/06/2014, 11:08 PMonly TG-16 or also PCE?
Like I wanted to do both, but I posted it in the TurboGrafx section and I know people would bust my balls if I added PCE...
I'm sorry Dracula X!

Prince of Persia? Damn, I never gave it a second chance. I'll have to listen to it again. I am pretty certain you intended to type "Monster Maker" but, anyway...
UPDATE: Upon further reflection, I retract my initial post.
My New Top 10 List
1. Shadow of the Beast
1. Timeball (only 2-3 tracks, sadly, but they are divine)
Underappreciated: Might & Magic III

Prince of Persia has a good ost i just find it unique that's all.
PC Engine Music: Prince of Persia (complete soundtrack) (https://youtu.be/jlTURP3fhcc#)
its a bit difficult to chose but i have to go with the cards instead of the CDs.
gotta love some of that legendary axe music especially stage 5 because its so good
Neutopia
Impossamole for that sweet intro music
Deep blue has some nice music but its hard to love a game when not even the booklet can't give good hints on survival
YO BRO
I am shocked nobody even mentioned this one. its damn fine beachboys tunes. they are catchy as hell

I had PoP for DOS long before I got it for Turbo Grafx. iirc I got the Turbo version around 1999 or 2000 at a local used game store. I loved the game as a kid and thought that the Turbo CD version had a wonderfully atmospheric Arabian sounding sound track that was leagues ahead of the midi I'd been accustomed to.
Good thread. :)
For hu-cards, let's go with (in no order):
1) Bonk's Revenge
2) Magical Chase
3) Parodius Da
4) Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu
5) Bonk's Adventure
For CD's, let's go with (in no order):
1) Steam Heart's
2) Lords of Thunder
3) Bonk 3 CD
4) Ane-San
5) Bomberman CD
I've never played Steam Heart's or Ane-San before. Upon your recommendation I'm giving Steam Heart's soundtrack a listen now; it's peppy and upbeat, not bad but definitely not my favorite shooter soundtrack.
Never played this Ane-San either, but only able to listen to one soundtrack at a time...

I see DDII as a hit and miss some of it's music tracks are good while others are just terrible......
As said before top 5 is almost impossible, but I'll list what stay in my head after I play:
1. Y's Book I & II > Some of the most awesome music ever.
2. Devil's Crush > Hot damn what a track, if the game itself was crap, this track would make me put it on just to hear it play.
3. Gate of Thunder > Music feels so perfect for this game, it is just fantastic.
4. Lords of Thunder > Like heavy metal magazine come to life this game and its music are stunning.
5. R-Type > Fantastic version of the arcade music, really love it.
Threadsurrection
My favorites in no particular order:
Ys (I'll cheat and count I, II , III and IV as just Ys. They all blow me away)
Gate of Thunder
Dungeon Explorer
Air Zonk
Bonk's Adventure
No particular order overall (can't bother choosing only five, sorry!):
Ys III/I & II/IV in that order - each OST's amazing
Dracula X
Nexzr
Aldynes
Rayxanber II/III
GunHed
Devil Crash
Soldier series (i.e. 3 different games)
Gate of Thunder
To a lesser extent: Lords of Thunder (reminds me too much of Joey Tafolla or Joey MacAlpine music, i.e. great shredders of the 80s), Spriggan 1 and 2, Sylphia and first stage music of Terra Cresta II (love that track!).
These rank among my favourite OST's ever. Btw, I have absolutely no nostalgia whatsoever for these titles, having grown up in a household with NES + SNES. That says a lot about the quality of the soundtracks found on the system.
mine? hmmmmm
1. lords of thunder
2. soldier blade
3. blazing lazers
4. military madness
5.ninja spirit
1. Winds of Thunder
2. Lords of Thunder
3. W.O.T
4. L.O.T
5. Breeze of Thunder
I've always been more of a fan of the Chiptunes than the CD audio.
Dungeon Explorer
Bloody Wolf
Bonk's Adventure
Alien Crush
Lords of Thunder
And I'm gonna throw in Keith Courage as an alternate. Granted, it's essentially two tunes with a couple of transitions between, I was still blown away the first time I heard the audio quality.
Gotta say that Ys takes the cake for me as well, theyre all too good to pick a particular one! ...followed by: 2-Lords of thunder, 3-Ninja Ryukenden, 4-Rondo of Blood, 5- Splatterhouse
How has no one said Lord's Of the Rising Sun? I love the music on that game!
Here's mine, in no order:
1) Lord's Of The Rising Sun
2) Neutopia
3) Dungeon Explorer
4) Legendary Axe
5) Vasteel

I love Double Dragon II and it's soundtrack for the PC Engine, unfortunately it didn't get a release outside of Japan.
I have memories of putting the Gate of Thunder CD in my CD Walkman back in the day, along with whatever other CD games I got depending on what was newest. I agree with Vasteel, also. (I miss it so much! I hope I can get another copy one day).
Has Last Alert been mentioned? It's not just all voice talent y'know!
I also really like the music on both Macross games, particularly Love Song.
Oh, and Exile. Exile has some amazing tracks in it.

Cool, I thought nobody in this thread was ever going to list Dracula X. You would think that more people would list it as one of their top TG-16/CD soundtracks.
Anyways, I haven't played too many games yet, since I'm a new collector and all. But here is my obvious list.
Turbografx-16 Hucard:
1. Dungeon Explorer
2. Bonk's Adventure
3. Neutopia I
4. Neutopia II
5. Legendary Axe
Turbografx-CD:
1. Castlevania: Dracula X
2. Ys Book I & II
3. Ys III: Wanderers from Ys
4. Exile
5. Dungeon Explorer II

Always good to here some fellow DDII love out there. The PCE port was the sole reason for my initial interest in TG and PCE.

My friend picked up DDII on SCD years ago, and it had some pretty cool music remixes for sure. Still, I think I prefer the NES version both in terms of music and gameplay. Even over the arcade version!
I don't have a top 5 yet.. still getting to know the PC Engine. Notable soundtracks encountered thus far:
Bonk's Revenge
Dracula X
Sapphire
Once I finish modding my system, I will definitely check it out the titles everyone has listed.

Man, oh man is that awesome to hear! I'm also a weirdo that prefers the console versions over the arcades, even though the first two arcades are classics (screw that yellow shirt wearing douche, Sonny, in the third arcade).
But on that note... the reason I prefer DDII on the PCE over all other versions is because it's the only great game in the series with close to arcade quality graphics (even though it's technically a port of the NES title) from the original era of the series's popularity in the arcade.
I always wanted a perfect home port of one of the first two arcade games, even though I prefer the home ports, and the PCE version is the closest we've got...
Lords of thunder
Dungeon explorer
Blazing lasers
Bonk's adventure
Neutopia

Ys I&II
Ys III

Oh, I only meant that for DDII. I hold both the Arcade and NES version of DD in pretty high esteem. DD is one of the first games I remember seeing people line up to play when I was a kid. DDII and really every other sequel in the arcade just don't have the same magic - But I love the NES version.

Oh man I totally agree! Last Alert has a kick-ass soundtrack, soooo good.
