Here is a wee topic for the older members of the boards

Which arcade game can you remember which has kick ass music playing in the background

My 3 favourites are

1/ Rygar - amazing soundtrack
2/ Splatterhouse - early techno feel and again brilliant
3/Black Tiger - great atmospheric feel
4/Rastan Saga - fantastic
5/ double dragon: the revenge - suberb soundtrack

tell me yours :) :) :)

Level 1 of Ninjawarriors (arcade). It's still one badass tune today.

I love the music in Rastan and Spy Hunter , in fact I own both of them.
But man is the hardware absolute shit in the Spy Hunter.
It has way to many sytem boards in it, its always losing a rom here or there and has been constant work for me.
In fact its broken as we speak. you have to reseat the boards contsantly to get the sound to work in the rear speakers on the sitdown model.
its too bad beacuse I really love it.
Gyruss had some awesome music too.

Another vote for Ninja Warriors :)

I really like the Space Harrier and Outrun music too.

How could i forget about outrun

I had the Commodore 64 version which has arcade quality music*

*Free audio cassette which you put into your stereo as you were playing the game*

No contest - Double Dragon (the original, not the Neo game)

If anyone can get me a soundtrack for that game, get me a message. ;-)

Hands down, the best is the level 1 Double Dragon music. There's so many cool runs waiting to be played on guitar on that.
