shurpie Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Space Megaforce aka Super Aleste. I find it hard to believe there are zero remixes of this game. The entire soundtrack is filled with super-memorable melodies that are dying to be remastered. Even the title music has style! The only tracks I'd say that aren't worthy of a remix are: - Space Cruiser - The boss battles Anything else you really can't go wrong with. The ending Credit music is just beautiful. Axelay. Another game with some great melodies to play with. Big thanks to Jeremy Johnson, Midee and prozax for their 'Unkai' remix. And while 'City Lights' by posu yan isn't really my style, I find myself listening to it often because it's just done well. The songs at the top of the list would have to be: - Mother - Silence - Burning Super R-Type. 'Blast Rock'. Crazy awesome solo. Need I say more? I may be pushing my quota of requests here, =0 but hey, I'm a child of space shooters so I need to do them justice by giving some honorable mentions: U.N. Squadron aka Area 88. Only 1 remix on the site. Sad really. Not the song, I mean the fact that it's the only remix there. This music is very engaging, heavy even. Something RPG's and adventure games can't give you ;1 Good stuff: - Project 4 Fortress - Enemy Airforce - Final Boss - The Canyon - Front Line Base The Gradiuses. Well done.

jnWake Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm working on this: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=43146 . From Super Earth Defense Force, game that has an amazing soundtrack (especially the arcade version that you can easily download from the internet).

Ivan Hakštok Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Space Megaforce aka Super AlesteThe ending Credit music is just beautiful. I took a listen and I swear as soon as I'm done with my current tracks, I'm gonna remix it. That theme's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Pop each of those games into a search over at the Dwelling of Duels site and you'll find some rock-some arrangements: http://www.dwellingofduels.net/searchresult.php?search=Axelay http://www.dwellingofduels.net/searchresult.php?search=Squadron http://www.dwellingofduels.net/searchresult.php?search=R-Type http://www.dwellingofduels.net/searchresult.php?search=Megaforce I also had these sitting in my collection: http://kngi.org/private/miscstuff/Axelay/ http://kngi.org/private/miscstuff/unsquadron/ http://kngi.org/private/miscstuff/rtype/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurpie Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Wow thanks for opening my eyes to these other sites.. there's a lot of great stuff there! Still a surprising lack of Space Megaforce. @jnWake great job on the SEDF ~ what a fun game I've never played before. @hakstok isn't it though? There's some nice voice clips in that game too hint hint ;l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDragonJP Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) They don't have any Thunder Force remixes here either. I've only played Thunder Spirits, but it had some cool tunes on it. & Parodius too. Edited March 7, 2013 by StarDragonJP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haste2 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I never played the old shooter games, but I saw some SNES music website praise Axelay for its great music, and that got me converted to Axelay music. The sound quality is pitiful, but the melodies are grand. I will definitely second the request for more Axelay remixes (besides Unkai, which was already done). Now I feel inspired to listen to other shooters, too... even though I'll probably never play the games. I'll think go and download the spcs for Space MegaForce, Super R-Type, U.N. Squadron, Gradius, Super Earth Defense, and Thunder Force (Spirits?), and Parodius.... if they're available, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernintendosp Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 There are some shooters that are catchy for their music. Great examples include: Acrobat Mission Strike Gunner S.T.G. (First track) Nostradamus U.N. Squadron (Mainly the Battleship Minks and Wolfpack stages) Darius Gaiden Darius Twin Don't get me wrong, I love the other tracks on U.N. Squadron, but I just haven't heard any decent remixes of either. Oh yes, I specified the Wolfpack rather than the Enemy Air Force because of the boss music. Acrobat Mission deserves the most love. It's a brutal shooter but the music makes it worth it. Especially the first mission's track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamasenin Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEsa0VHpHfY Here's a remix of UN Squadron Front Line Base I made years ago. I hope you like it. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTreyPuzzlez Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I LOVED the music from a good SS Shooter, but the one that is near and dear to my heart is R-Type III: The Third Lightening! A few months ago, ToxicxEternity made a BADA$$ cover for me!! Check it out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapidkirby3k Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 A new Axelay and/or Super R-Type remix sounds like a neat-o idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-wix Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm working on a remix project for one of these games. It's a secret, and will probably be done in a few more months. >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
