Top 5 ~ Top 10 music for each game listed

My first (and only one planned for now) list. As a VGM nerd with the particular hobby of research behind game composers as the contributions get muddied, why not combine both aspects, simple as pie.

Games featured are those I own the music of in that sweet little hard drive. I thought I'd rank the games by how much I love the OST at first, but who really cares about that? I came to think I don't, so I'll save my time (bold of me to say while doing Backloggd lists).

No links either, I don't think putting the files directly will work anyways and Youtube doesn't have everything. Even if you don't care about my top 5, I hope the composer credits will be atleast informative. You know, put a name behind who did Coconut Mall and all that. If you're in fact interested, I'm plugging my research compendium (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18EVNu-VVKqBu2tUgcIBJ1YBduIcZK1NClP_uztDXotk/edit?usp=sharing)

(Also some games don't have 5 tracks lmao don't matter get ranked. ps i also decided to change the title to reflect how much i struggle to just like 5 tracks everytime and eventually gave up, it'll be 10 tracks from now on. Older series like Mario that I started ranking first may only have 5 to 9 tracks but i'll work on that maybe)

Where the fuck is Cho Ren Sha 68k?

9 months ago

@Nilichi Cho Ren Sha ? average shmup title (maybe it means something tho). Composer goes by "Loser". If you vouch for it there must be some merit....

@PitSolitayrh Absolutely. The game is carried by its soundtrack. I wouldn't call it average either after developing a reputation as being one of the best doujin shooters ever produced.
