This is one of those games that makes me realize how un-hardcore I am, as it's a classic, and I've never even played it. I was simply never one for overhead 2d shooters until 16-bit came along (Blazing Lazers? Hellya). Nevertheless, Mode7 contributes a much-needed Zanac medley with many different parts . . as most medleys have! Though some of the transitions are a little non-sequitir, this is a quality ReMix that mixes old and new synth sounds to achieve the 'retro' feel where synths that resemble the NES's tone generator are right alongside synths / sounds the NES couldn't have hacked in its wild dreams. It works well here, and I must particularly point out the well-done drum track that throws a couple tricks your way, as well as the atmospheric intro which almost sounds like a robotic orchestra tuning up. If anything, a little mastering and some beefing up of the lowend w/compression would have made this better, but it stands - again as any well-done medley tends to - as an impressive ReMix and one any shmups fan should grab in a heartbeat.
