  • LIFE FORCE / SALAMANDER MEDLEY
    - Danger! Danger! An intruder has penetrated our force field!
    This here is probably the best NES OST in the world. Technically it was made for the arcade originally but it really found it's place in the blippety blop of the NES. Subjectively, it's in the top 3 VGM OSTs of all time; huge nostalgia bomb [BAM!] right in the childhood!

      For me, it was the first time I played Nemesis in the arcade. I immediately fell in love with the stage 1 music.
      A year or two later, I was in another arcade playing a game called Gradius. And I recognized the music. I realized that Gradius was Nemesis, so I ran to the Hills store in the mall and bought it for the NES.
      I was so excited that I started blabbing all about it to the cashier chick and made her giggle.

    Played this allllllll the time as a kid. It was my main NES game of choice. I LOVE the soundtrack! The only gripe I have with it is that it's too short. Hell, the game is too short. I kinda wish there was an "extended" fan-made soundtrack that was inspired by the original like how they do it for movies. New songs that sound like they just FIT with the game.

    Even compared to some of the legendary OSTs (Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Zelda, Megaman), Miki Higashino's work is one of the best soundtracks on the NES beginning to end. It has absolutely no weak links. It's a testament to this that nearly every track is someone's favorite in the comments below.
