See that someone mentioned the dreaded 'S' and look, never happened! Space Harrier does have a cracking theme though!

I had that for the master system, same song, better than the real one it based on I say! Something I discovered yesterday by chance, there was a Space harrier 3D game for master system with 3D shutter glasses that plugged into the card slot on the master system 1! I never knew... They are on ebay for about £60, if I was a more frivolous chap I'd be all over that! I'll try and add the tunes you speak of to the playlist if I can find them.

The best of which has been on the MegaDrive, by far. To this day i'd randomly have, for example, the 1st Sonic game theme tune in my head ("SE-GAAAA") for no apparent reason, it's just always there in the back of my head, niggling away. And Columns... ah man Columns, used to play that so much... and i'd been trying to remember how the music went even though subconsciously i knew but as soon as i played it, it clicked. Other ace tuneage from MegaDrive games i've loved to play back in t' day: - The 16-bit version of 'Megablast' by Bomb The Bass on 'Xenon 2: Megablast' (by the UK's finest, Bitmap Brothers); - The 'Chaos Engine' theme tune (damn the catchiness); - The music from 'Bio-Hazard Battle' (awesome 'R-Type'-esque shooter); - Tuneage from 'Space Harrier'; - And finally, the damned funkyness of 'Toejam and Earl: Panic on Funkotron', one of my all-time favourites, especially music-wise! So I wholeheartedly agree with what you're saying, the emotions that erupt from within (ooh-er) when I hear these tunes, takes me back to a more innocent time of my childhood. Ahhhh... now where's that MegaDrive emulator got to?...
