OCR00001 - Shinobi "Shin Shuriken Jam"


Recommended Posts

that intro is as etched into my mind as the TMNT series intro. seen it so many times at my cousin's house in the early nineties.

quintessential barebone VG exposition. setting up everything in 60 deliberately cliched seconds, and it's just kind of perfect. aged really well if you ask me.

though the music starts to suck after level 2. seems like the guy ran out of ideas....should've gone 100% leitmotif. didn't matter to me back then, as i rarely ever got to level 3.

 

"with your girlfriend as hostage, he plans to seize the ultimate power..."

man, that makes no sense at all! unless he gains power in some way by making alex suffer....

well, i suppose that's pretty deep.

Gotta fix that youtube link there, webmaster.
Somehow I've never actually listened to OCREMIX #1 until today even though I've been listening to this music for my entire adult life.
It really holds up. Very funky slap bassy. That flute sound is artificial in a way that reminds me of listening to MIDI pieces on my old packard bell win95 machine. I mean that in a good way.
