>>977 In Japan, some companies would make medal redemption games with hardware they have on stock that they want to get rid of. For example, Konami is known for their SCC chip used in their MSX games, but they used it outside of the MSX in some occasions like Hexion. You can find plenty of videos on these machines on jewtube and niconico, https://yewtu.be/watch?v=llyuAsOAwNM (even shows where the song I linked plays). The third one was from a game called Witch, which was developed by the same team behind the Battle Mania games on the Genesis. The music is pretty good despite how short they are. The game was kinda addicting to play, especially if you enable the infinite time cheat and played the game like janky video pinball. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=QbUNujchuIk

>>981 Damn, they got Masahiro Andoh on this? I listened to a bit of T-Square, but not enough to be familiar with their sound. Sony was seriously picking up talent during the PS2 days, I know they had composers that used to work at Namco, Konami, etc. compose some of the music for their games.

>>983 Yeah, Ando worked on all the Arc games and all the Gran Turismo games. >Sony was seriously picking up talent during the PS2 days, I know they had composers that used to work at Namco, Konami, etc. compose some of the music for their games. Well most composers by that point were freelancers anyway and the days of in-house music staff like during the 2D era was over.

Dark Chronicle also has a nice OST though with a completely different vibe, very Uematsu-ish. Ultimately I prefer the Dark Cloud one but it's still nice.

Dawn of Mana, or Seiken Densetsu 4, is a somewhat questionable entry into the series but being a Square game it has a very expensive, epic score. Maybe a tad generic, but there's also this rockish undertone to it spicing things up a bit.

Dark Native Apostle is a rather bizarre 2001 PS2 puzzle/platformer/action game from Hudson of all people. It's one of the earliest games to utilize the cell-shading technology but the really cool thing about it is that late '90s techno sound that only a very small portion of the 6th gen games managed to catch.

Eternal Ring is an early From Software game, from back when they still used to make something other than Souls games. It's somewhat notorious for its eccentric score that doesn't fit anything happening on the screen but that's kinda part of its charm.

Desperado X, a remake of a mecha side-scrolling shooter ala Defender for the X68000 computer. Music from Naoya Kawahara, and this was left unused. 3 & 4. Megumi Rescue(Arcade), so I have to say the Arcade version because it was thought to be lost until it was recovered a few years ago. This was technically Aicom's first game, but they retooled it for the Master System since the arcade version had similar hardware. These tracks are from Hirohiko Takayama, but he went uncredited and Kiyoshi Yokoyama also did the music but got credited(probably because he was assigned to the game early then Takayama was put in later)

This is Scatman John's "Scatman's World"(https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Ic2Cjw7kydI) which is a dance-y version of "Canon in D"(https://yewtu.be/watch?v=lgh68Swuak0).
