Bio Hazard Battle

[Red.]

Bio Hazard Battle(called 'Crying' in Japan) is a game made a while ago in 1992 for the Sega Mega Drive. I played it a lot in my childhood, and it's one of my favorite titles and also one of the games with my favorite game music.

It's a side-scrolling shooter, and to describe it in one word would be 'creepy'. The game's backstory is about a far planet where, after multiple Bio-Hazard Wars, the planet became completely polluted, and the last surviving humans inhabiting the planet took shelter in a space station. Now, quite some time later, you have to travel out to the surface with your so-called 'bio-ship' to see if the world is ready to be rehabilitated by humans, encountering strange mutated creatures everywhere.

The music is very... non-standard for a Mega Drive game. I don't know how to describe it really,(exept the word creepy or dark does come in mind for the music as well ) but the 8 tracks of the game can be found on YouTube.

So... Maybe, if somebody has time and would like to give this a go, then that would be amazing .

I'd love to hear your toughts, even if you don't want to remix it .

This is pretty cool music. Time for a trip to Zophar's

If anyone can find MIDIs for Stage 4 and / or Stage 7, I'll gladly give it a shot. The usual spots I check have turned up empty >_>

EDIT: 1). I found out this game is available on Steam, so I absolutely have to get it now. 2). Those two songs sound REALLY cool so I might just rip the soundtracks and convert them to MIDI myself. If someone else wants the MIDIs, PM me.

My neighbor and I used to love playing this game.

We called that one shellfish-looking ship "Fishburger". Hehe.

Great music. I'd love to hear a remix of one of these. Stage 7 def is the bomb. Stage 3! Oh man Stage 2/6. So iconic.

For anyone intersted in seeing what the game is all about. (not the best player)

I did a remix of Stage 3 a few years ago. I'll try another stab at it as this is one of my favorite games of all time!

I grew with this game!!! I may have to look into doing stage 2/6-city/airship. I already have plans....

Ok, these are REEEEEEALLY crappy midi's, but you can thank Gens for that (and my lack of desire to modify a midi file).

Stage 4

Stage 7

Seriously, I haven't even opened these up in FL Studio yet and I can already tell the default instrument mapping is way off. However, they should be enough for anyone (like myself!) interested in working with these songs.

Man, I bet skrypnyk would really knock a Stage 7 arrangement out of the park. I absolutely loved his badass take on the sparse Flying Krock theme for the DKC2 album.
