My twenty-seventh submission. This game marks the point when SNK went bankrupt and the series was sold to Korean company Eolith, who then had a new yearly installment produced by former SNK developers on a tighter budget. Sadly, it shows. The soundtrack of mostly 30-second techno loops that resulted remains disliked by the series' fandom to this day. It's not terrible per se, but it's certainly not at the level of the previous games' music or even that of the games following it.

Why is this pack here? Because if this site is to have packs for the entire Neo Geo section of the series, it needs a pack for this game—and someone had to do it. Have a listen if you want; there are still a few cool tracks on there, such as "0", "I Am the Strongest" or "NESTS, the Rulers of Darkness."
