even here on this very vid scroll through the the comments from some member called Masteroftheshadows if you dont believe me...

That is just hilarious.

Mr. Ostrich says: I think it must be on a PlayStation because everyone knows that Saturns are grey and PlayStations are white. That video might actually be of a Mac Mini in a Saturn case (spray painted white) and running the PC version of SSS. Don't try to dissuade me, as I've made up my mind and searching the internet for some reality would be a waste of time. Now pardon me, but my head has an urgent meeting with some sand.

Saturn sound chip was pretty damn awesome, coupled with Cybersound it was nigh-perfect!

Gravis Ultrasound was cool because at a time when software interpolation was crap, the GUS's hardware interpolation made MOD playback sound like a real Amiga!

ROFL @ The SSS thing, that's hialrious.

Back to the pc engine sound.. well here some more music tracks i recorded earlier (and again its from the real stuff no emulation)!!

You know I really hated this soundtrack because it just seemed like worst of the pc engine music chip-scene.. in the way it just sounds sooo tinny and weak.. fast forward a decade I really do appreciate this now.. maybe its what Namco intended it to sound like.. tinny, weak, irritating.. and like a really cheap budget bad 70's slash horror flick as you start off the music matches the the scene and story ie bleak and lonely.. but the last two tracks give you the sense to fight on and live. There's also notes which just sound flat buzzing, or bleeps which to me reminds me of paranormal activity you know?? electricity flowing kinda thing... To get the best out of it you need headphones mostly because of the great stereo seperation which are fantastic on some bits not featured here..

anyway here's some music tracks taken from it: (5 tracks, 6.22 mins, 5.83mb)

and I just love the music to bomberman 93' just listen to it! do eeet!!! imo the final track on this which is the ending music kinda reminds me of the good ol' amiga days as it sounds like nothing heard on the megadrive, SNES, NES or Mastersystem yup its got a very unique sound..(3 tracks, 4.54 mins, 5.61mb)

I'm hoping all this will persuade a few nay-sayers that the pce sound chip is a great piece of silicone.

You'll never persuade me in a million years that it's better than Pamela Anderson's.

ah going back to the splatterhouse game this is the arcade tracks..

Open newsplatterhousearcade.mp3

Comparing the Arcade to the pc engine's.. I can't decide which has the upper hand.. some tracks I think the arcade has better arrangements but there are other tracks I think the pc engine sounds better.

I think the PCE tunes hold up well, though there is a harshness to them that clearly is not in the originals. Personally, I prefer the PCE overall, since the "melodies" are so prominent... unlike the arcade version, which is much more subdued and "restrained."

Don't get me wrong, though, I'm really enjoying these arcade tracks... they are a nice complement to the PCE tunes.
