Super Turrican has an excellent soundtrack. Especially world 2, where the soundtrack features an awesome sounding piano.

The instruments sound nice and crisp. It's also one of those rare SNES games which are in Dolby Surround.

I think both FM and PCM have their own individual strengths and weaknesses. If given to the right composer, both SNES and Genesis can produce awesome music. FM however has the problem that it's VERY EASY to screw up. Many lesser tunes on the Genesis sound bad because the instruments are distorted. This is the result of a lazy composer, unwilling to spend the time which is needed to deliberately fine-tune the parameters.
If there is one company which could handle practically every sound chip very well, it's Konami.

Not every. Konami didn't do so hot on DDR GB. Suffice it to say that Konami's 8-bit version of "Butterfly" sounded less like the original version than mine did.6502freak wrote:If there is one company which could handle practically every sound chip very well, it's Konami.
Konami did lots of great Game Boy soundtracks in the early 90's. Maybe they got a bit sloppy in the late 90's/early 00's, but when it comes to classic (1983-1995) video game tunes, Konami is on my absolute top list.

When it comes to sound, Konami did amazing jobs on so many platforms. From their own arcade games, which have killer soundtracks (and up to 4 different soundchips for one single game (TMNT)) to almost every 8 and 16 Bit console.
Btw, great job on the tune!
