Over 6 hours hours of Sega Genesis & Mega Drive music recorded directly from my personal Genesis from 1989 (Model 1, revision VA2... rebuilt pre-amp)! A few things to note:
1 - Yeah, I know you can't believe that __________ game isn't in here, or the game is here but a certain track isn't. I left it out just to make you mad.
2 - I couldn't include every game I wanted. Some had copyright issues like Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2, Midnight Resistance (of all things), and a couple of tracks (but not all) from Streets of Rage 1.
3 - I included on average 3 songs from each game. Sometimes I wanted to include more but I also wanted to have variety, so in the interest of keeping things moving, the limit is usually 3 songs or less per game. Sometimes I include 4 though just because I'm allowed to break my own rules.
4 - A couple of games featured here were made back in the day but were canceled before release. However no modern-made games are here, even though many new Genesis / Mega Drive games have amazing music.
