Top 25 shmup OST/soundtracks (CLOSED)

[Furry Fox Jet Pilot]

I never realized how good G-Stream G2020's soundtrack is, but it's such a shame that it was produced on such poor quality sound hardware. I am loving the Stage 1 and Stage 7 themes, it's the perfect mix of classic Raiden's melancholy melodies and Raiden Fighters' series drum and bass. Now that I think of it, the entire game looks like it could be a sequel to the Raiden Fighters series, except for the fact that there is only one playable fighter.

Closing this now. Thanks to everyone who participated

[Kollision]

I can't believe I was the only one who voted for Zero Wing....

heathens

[ZacharyB]

I should've put in a vote for the guy who did Image Fight and X Multiply. Who was that?

-----------

I stumbled across the composer's name: Masahiko Ishida did the work as "OH!GI" for Image Fight.

Aside from the default names in the High Score screen, X-Multiply has no credits...

[ZaKa-tokyobassist]

So mad I just played Super Aleste after this thread closed. That soundtrack is boss.

[MrOldSchoolCool]

Any idea when the results will be posted?

[heisenbergman]

I've already done one pass through the votes, but want to do another one to double-check, but on top of the usual work and life duties, I've got two weddings, my kid's first birthday and the Christmas rush to attend to all in the span of a few weeks.

I'll have to find time after the Holidays to post the results, but I will.

No problem, man. Was just curious.

Sincere apologies it took so long to approve your debut post emilflight. But the voting for this thread actually closed in 2013! Still, as you're here, and now approved, get involved anyway! And welcome!

And who knows; maybe this necrobump will inspire a new OST top 25!

[rjosal]

At least now we have results, glad to see it.
