This is the thread where we show off just how Good the sound of the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis was.

I'll start here with NINE CHANNELS of Good.

Anyone who talks shit about the Genesis just doesn't like video game music. It is the same type of soundchip as countless Arcade and Home Computer systems. It isn't the Genesis' fault that no Americans could program an FM synthesizer.

That wasn't the case at all. Who can forget all the slowdown issues on SNES or its teeny-tiny screen resolution size. Wasn't doing too great against the 2 years older Sega. Still, it had "softer" sound so it was better right?

Tim Follin's work on the un-released Time Trax game for the Mega Drive is probably the most impressive use of the console's sound capabilities.

Listen to this and keep in mind that he didn't use any PCM drum samples, everything is pure FM synthesis.

Am I crazy or is the Genesis quiet compared to other systems? I have one hooked up to the same sound system as a SNES, Saturn, and Playstation2, and all those I play at the same setting, but I have to turn the dial up the Genesis. Doesn't matter which model, either, I have a few different ones.

Any Genesis experts know why this is? Its not dying caps, my re-capped one is the same volume as the others and it is perfectly loud when the volume is turned up. It just defaults lower.
