Finally it's here.
This to me, sounds like an old 1990's arcade game, due to the tunes.
Bubble Budgies, a in-dev CTF 2.5 game that I am making, uses these tunes.

I am really glad I decided to download all of your recent uploads... this is Dynamite Headdy-tier insanity. Amazing.

It's one of the most bizarre soundtracks I've heard in my life. I mean those insane LFO speeds, arranges. Heck, all of the OST sounds really funny to me and they make me laugh sometimes.

Now that it's released, cannot wait until the archive updates so I can listen to those beats!
Bubble Budgies 4 Life, baby! :wink:

@Dekyo-NO: I found out that Game Over 1 is not on the list! Are you gonna update it?

It is present in the archive, don't know what's the problem.
BTW, there is a filename numbering mistake I made. There's 2 VGMs that begins with 26. "26 Cutscene.vgz" and "26 Game Over 1.vgz". That can be fixed by renaming. Maybe that's the problem with "Game Over 1" not appearing.

Just change the second 26 to 27 and add 28 to Game Over 2.

Also found an FM-Towns version of the game, is the same (game and music) as the PC98 but with Yamaha YM2612 instead of the PC98's YM2203.
If you look inside the CD you can find the music files.

Oh, I've been working on this one on-and-off for a while now.

Here's a sample- they used square-sounding FM patches to cover the SSG sections so it sounds really close to the PC98 version, actually.

Woah! I did not know that they did that when porting that to different hardware!

They did the same thing with the Mega CD version of Illusion City. I need to rip that one at some point.
