Tribute to PCE shmup found in Psyvariar 2 OST Music CD...

[PC Engine Fan X!]

Just listen to the very last track of Psyvariar 2: Original Sound Track Plus:
Track 20 -- Asteroid (Piano Solo) the last remaining 1:03 minutes and you'll hear a cool bonus classic PC Engine shmup "ending theme" piece.

Anybody want to guess what the name of the PCE game that particular bonus "ending theme" is from? Hint: Turbo Technolgies Incorporated did release this particular Hudson Soft produced PCE shmup under the same name in the USA in late 1992 as a Turbo Grafx-16 Hu-Card cartridge.

I found that months ago, and I love it! Had no idea what game it was from... and I still don't :P

From your hint I'd guess it's Soldier Blade. I'd love to hear this tribute, it's one of my favourite PCE shmups.

Though I probably won't recognize it, it's been quite a while since I cleared it...

If you play/own the classic PCE/TG-16 version of Hudosn Soft's Soldier Blade, the last minute & three seconds of Track #20 on the Psyvariar 2 OST music CD does pay tribute to the "ending theme" of Soldier Blade. I used to listen to the Soldier Blade BGM tunes many times until I got it by heart...I thought I recognized hearing that particular PCE "ending theme" from a shmup but really wasn't sure.

Upon further investigation as I do indeed have a TG-16 & Turbo Duo with some shmup Hu-Cards including Soldier Blade, it is INDEED Soldier Blade's "Ending Theme" that is hidden in the Psyvariar 2 OST Music CD.

I wonder if any of the current Success musicians did work on the Soldier Blade BGM tunes...but what a nice but sly way to sneak a PCE shmup tribute like that. ^_~

A "remix" of that song is featured somewhat in Psyvariar Complete Edition, after you've selected your game, during the loading screen.
