If that beautiful man is a hack then you're lower than liquid rat diarrhea on the universal scale of brilliance, m8o

If he's so good how come he's a lousy videogame composer and not a real musician?
Battletoads Arcade, easily.

Such a shame the sound quality is GBA tier, should have been on the Super Nintendo.

Real musicians like Koji Kondo only make bland music, so who gives a shit?

I loved the first 5-6 levels of this game. Past that, it's absolutely bullshit.

works both ways. The keyboardist for Casiopea (basically sega style music: the band) quit and became the head of a video game company that makes train simulators
Also DKC was special because it illicits feels for our generation. If you missed out then its not going to be the same now. Tetrisphere was GOAT ost but I could care less about the new tetris ost because I didnt grow up with it.

Honestly, in some ways being an accomplished video game composer is more impressive to me than being a "real musician." Do you realize how difficult that job was? You have to write a piece of music that can't be more than a certain length (takes up vital storage space in the pre-CD days), you can only use a handful of "instruments," and your music is going to be played on repeat for potentially extended periods of time so you have to make sure it's catchy without getting old quick or being irritating. And in some cases, you had to not only write the music, but program the system as well.
And yet, despite all those restrictions, people created pieces of music that are still beloved to this day, and in some cases are among the most recognizable pieces of music around.

Just because it's good VIDEOGAME music doesn't mean it's good actual music.

there's plenty of good video game music that's legitimately good music in its own right.
