BoF is one of the most boring jrpgs I ever played. it's the game equivalent of dry toast and tap water.

This shit pile doesn't deserve its ost

Hatenkou is a rather bad indie shmup with basically no original elements or anything distinct to it other than most bosses just being tetran from gradius.

It also has one of the most baller stage themes I've ever heard. One day i might pay someone money to cover it. Note that the main beat takes ages to kick in since the song is crazy long.

Not a terrible game, but I love when this kind of thing happens. Just some random licensed game, but the music goes so fucking hard and you can tell the composer just poured his entire soul into it.

Galerians fucking sucks but the music kicks ass

This could have been the best PS1 game, but the issue with it is that a random encounter could take as long as the entire song

Spawn: The Eternal has a really chilling soundtrack. Makes it feel almost like a horror game.

I'm going to play it and enjoy it now since most people who type like this have consistently awful opinions.

I used to load these games just to groove to the music. Simpler times.
Actually I quite liked the first game, beat it several times. While still janky and hard, it was better on the ST than modern shrieking youtubers give it credit. It had the heart, but not the talent.

The second game.. that one is just ridiculously balls stupid hard. I usually loathe people on this board who use this word, but it's close to unplayable (even though I still tried a lot, and had some amount of fun in doing so). It tried one of the most baffling ideas I've ever seen in an action game before. I admire that they gave thinking outside the box, but good lord. See this screen? Think you're looking at a single-axis horizontal scrolling action game? Well, you're wrong. Actually, the game scrolls in two full axes, north-south and east-west. Pressing up or down on the joystick swaps axis, so the character might be moving east-west here but suddenly everything will "rotate" in place and he's moving linearly north-south along a single bologna-thin slice of terrain from the otherwise 2D overhead map. And you can't see anything on the "slices" just in front or behind you. Enemies magically appear directly on top of you because they're running into you perpendicularly from the other axis. It's insane (god bless 'em for trying though).

Yeah man. Check out the original version's theme:

Makes me want a version of the Amiga game with that NES gameplay music in for the complete experience.

it's really just a (very) bad dark alliance with a (very) good ost and some lodoss references here and there.

top notch

Pretty much any bad Sonic game. Just about every Sonic game whether it was good or bad had great music:

I can only think of one exception where both the game and music was bad, but it was not a retro game anyway.

>>11832094
not a real game

>>11829564
goddamn that's good man. If I still felt like doing covers lately I'd cover it. I'll keep it in mind for the future.

>>11832185
Lagoon's a bit better on X68000 since it uses bump combat instead of a shitty weapon swipe (that's the arming animation they reused as an attack on SNES), but I was a little underwhelmed by it on there too. I really love this song from it.

If you want a decently good bump combat game, I think of course Ys beats it out, but also Xak: The Art of Visual Stage on MSX2. It's pretty good.

Traysia is genuinely the worst RPG i have ever played in my entire life. The entire game only has 1 enemy AI, i think. Wizards will walk up and smack you with their sticks. It's pathetic.

The boss theme is nice though. It's not like mega amazing or anything but the sheer crappiness of the game makes it stand out.

The battle music sucks but I like the ambient tracks, the atmosphere was top notch at least. Shame about everything else.
