What Neo-Geo game has the best music, in your opinion?

I loved the KOF '95 music (except the women's team).

Waku-Waku 7 is tops (Dandy J).


I love the Metal Slug 2 music (especially the first stage)/
Samurai Shodown tunes deserve mention...

Magician lord, stage 1 and 2 music are my personal favourites, although the whole soundtrack is pretty damn awesome! ;)

Matrimelee, if nothing else just for the sheer absurdity of the music

I really like KOF '97's soundtrack... when there's actually music playing, that is.

I guess my all time fave is Metal Slug 3. It perfectly compliments what is an absolutely whacked out adventure.

Just make sure you're playing with the region set to Japan. The USA version takes out pretty much anything with lyrics (couldn't get the rights or something) so they just copied over the four or five songs that didn't, and that makes the game quite boring.

I think AoF 3 has a really cool soundtrack. Kinda jazzy, lots of horns, great win theme.

I don't know if I can name one complete soundtrack for Neo Geo that does it for me from start to finish, but I can certainly name one which gets me all excited every time I hear that beat [even though it can be repetitive]. It's Sonic Wings 3, with its drum and bass. I used to play it on a setup with a really deep bass output and it sounded massive.

Metal Slug 3 & KOF 98 get my vote. Just use headphones when playing and the great quality stereo sound will shine through.

Maybe we could prepare a musical time capsule for when this thread returns in 2034.

Hard to pick just one best soundtrack. Sengoku has a lot of really cool tracks that helped me get hooked on Neo Geo. Fatal Fury 1&2 and Samsho1&2 are also near the top of the list for favorite Neo Geo soundtracks. It was amazing hearing the Pao Pao Cafe theme for the first time! KoF98 would probably be my overall favorite though, so many classic songs... Followed closely by Real Bout 2 and Samsho2.
