>>	Anonymous Sun Jul 7 21:36:13 2013 No.882176 I think people confuse not having a very good sound chip with actually not having good music. It's soundchip was limited but some game developers knew how to work within those limitations quite well.

SNESfags. Most of the time the SNES had better sounding music when it came to crossplatform games, though. To me, at their worst the Genesis sounds tinny and grindy while the SNES sounds muffled and empty. In the right hands both can sound wonderful.

No one ever said the Genesis had shitty music. No one ever.

What people have said, however, is that the Genesis had a shitty sound chip. It did. And you know what? They worked around it and made some nice sounding music.

I love FM music but I still think the Genesis's sound hardware is a little underpowered. The X68000 sounds a lot better than the Genesis, and its sound chip uses the exact same FM algorithms -- all it has is three more sound channels and a more advanced LFO, but it makes a big difference.

There's plenty of great music on the Genesis, but composing for it must've been a hell of a challenge.
