      Even before that bit, at the start of the level, where this is pumping and you can see the setting sun through the windows of the building. It really feels like you're in the final scene of some action movie. Not just any action movie, but a really great one that has emotional weight as well as amazing action, like Terminator 2.

      I was born in '84, so was of the right age for gaming in the 90's, and I don't share your attitude guys. You gotta buy this darn cartridge. And this darn console. That is, your parents had to buy it for you, and they've been always lacking money for that. And scorning you for playing too long. Now I can just download a game and play, whatever I like, and not roaming around the whole city looking, if this or that game has hit the shelves. I don't need to ask anyonw to share his some rare cartridge. I can even avoid buying a game, or going to someone with a suitable console if I just want to watch walkthrough - because CZcams.
      Now, guess why I not even never played Streets of Rage as a kid, but didn't even hear of it. That's right, we could only afford a pirated NES, Genesis/MegaDrive was way beyond my family's budget.

    Despite being apart of a later generation I got to enjoy the genesis experience as a child, years after, my brother and I received a genesis “classic console” pre loaded with a number of classic titles the best of which(in my opinion) was a game I had yet to play. The game booted up and this amazing song played; maybe it was my young mind but seeing the art of the game combined with the music, it seemed so vibrant and spectacular like I just begun a journey that would define me. It will stay with me forever, there’s something special about taking the dive into something you have no experience with.

These were Genesis times mind you, so if it's still great now; it was freaking mind blowing back then. Still amazed at what the creator did with a 16-Bit system.

    one of the best tracks of the 16 bit era. This also plays during Streets of Rage 3's ending (my favorite SoR). I REALLY hope this track shows up in Streets of Rage 4!!!!
