Best 16-bit soundtracks? Best 16-bit soundtracks.
Trying to build up an spc and vgz music collection, but I'm having trouble trying to find the pick of the pack in regards to music. Tell me your favorites, anons.

Bonus points if it's not Mega Man, Sonic, Chrono Trigger, CastleVania, etc.
Nothing against those fantastic soundtracks, but everyone knows how damned sexy they are.

In return, have a burger.

Seconded. The only 16-bit console titles that compete are Castlevanias recycling Konami's awesome 8-bit tunes.

Although from that era I still rate Star Control 2 as having the most consistently awesome soundtrack.
