[QUOTE="Shaneus, post: 151374, member: 204"] Yeah, I love this about that era of games. It was before wavetable synthesis (I think that's the right term) so everything was genuinely composed rather than sampled. All the music from High Speed right up to TZ (I think that was the last machine before they started using DCS?) feels like it has a lot more character and charm than anything after it. Fun fact relating to that particular music: One of the main composers during that era was Brian Schmidt, who worked on Black Knight 2000, Banzai Run, the original Simpsons machine as well as a bunch of later Data East/Sega machines. Coincidentally, he also did the music for Crue Ball (Motley Crue-themed pinball) on Mega Drive/Genesis. You can hear the similarities between [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg-5EBNCB6k]this[/url] and [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCKDvjVzpNQ]this[/url] pretty easily. He also did [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnkXaLmYG34]Desert Strike[/url] for MD as well. The music for Rollergames is equally as good, but that was done by Dan Forden (who went on to do the sound for Mortal Kombat, which you'd be able to hear similarities with many WMS pins of the same era).
