Indeed, the Genesis (aka Mega Drive) brought a sound very different from what was around at the time. As an example, here is the rendition of the Battletoads soundtrack for the NES [1] which you can compare to the Genesis version [2]. Both by legend David Wise [3] of later Donkey Kong Country fame.

- ratww 6y agoFor FM sounds I really enjoy the Neo Geo soundtracks of the 90s: Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown. They were a combination of FM and early sample chips, but all super tasteful (as far as 90s game soundtracks go!) and exploiting the maximum of the chips.
