I've recently been obsessed with SONIC WINGS 3's soundtrack. That first level song is addictive! What are your favourite neo tunes? Pulstar and Metal Slug 1 are other all time favs, those games have no bad tracks.. :-J Duck King's theme from Fatal Fury Special is another one i think about often, a real ear worm.

Sonic Wings 3 absolutely rocks. I love it. Viewpoint is also awesome. Dunk Dream is great and fits the game perfectly. I really enjoy listening to the Fatal Fury OSTs and seeing how the different tracks progressed through the years. Pulstar and Blazing Star have some legit tracks too. Tons of great music on the Neo. Sonic Wings 3 and Viewpoint take the cake for me though.

I almost forgot about viewpoint's music. Yes it is amazing as well... I recreated the lead sound on the first level theme with my Korg MS-20 mini perfectly one time. :D

I love NTM's music as well. i feel like Nazca actually bothered to use some of the YM2610's FM synthesis capabilities rather than only using samples as many neo-geo games do. Nazca tastefully mixed FM with samples with excellent results.

KOF'96, great tunes!

Agreed!

Top soundtracks for me go to KOF 95, KOF 96, and Fatal Fury Special. These are the soundtracks I listen to the most outside of actual gameplay.

Some favorite stand alone tracks across multiple games: Rick's theme from Real Bout 2, FF Team theme from KOF 94 (sick bass beat), Mai's and Sokaku's themes from Real Bout Special, Kula's theme from KOF 2K, and Kaede's theme from Last Blade 1.

The Neo is FULL of great tunes, though.

All the kof's have good soundtracks but 96 really stands out


Waku Waku 7 has some good ones especially Arina's stage. The arranged version is the only redeeming thing about the Saturn port

The CD arrangements of some of the KOF games and Real Bout Special are the best IMO.

Honorable mention to the AOF3 intro. Dat bass, son.

some of my favorite neo geo songs are
kof 94 japan theme
blazing star 1st and 4th stage
metal slug 5 first and boss stage
ultimate 11 menu theme
samurai shodown galford theme
mutation nation first stage

I will say one of my favorites has to be kof 94 England theme. such a badass and memorable song for me when I played it as a kid and that song stuck with me for many years. it was something about it that was catchy and made me remember playing it back in the arcades

For sure Last Resort has one of the best OST's for the system. I'd say KOF95 is up there too

I don't know if I could narrow down my favorites, but here are a couple tracks that I've grown especially fond of
somewhat recently despite being familiar with them for years.
