Lots of people discuss their favorite retro OSTs, but what is the WORST retro ost you've ever listened to?
>>
>>11494824
Mega Man X3 has the worst soundtrack in any game I've ever played. Consistently bad the WHOLE way through. Every song follows this formula:
>sour notes
>dwiddly-dwiddly "guitar solo"
>3 seconds long and then loops

Nothing comes close to X3's musical atrocity.

I know the first tune is a shitty cover of Dvorak's Slavonic Dances, but it's EXTREMELY shitty and absolutely does not fit a video game.
The rest of the soundtrack is absolute garbage.

This. It's even sadder when you realize MMX2 had such a nice complexity to its soundtrack with nice basslines and high-energy drums despite the console's limitations.

>>11494897
A lot of X games sound like some sort of parody of video game music.

I challenge anybody to top this, outside of something like Crazy Bus. I get what they were going for, but it sounds like dogshit and is more irritating than if they'd just had silence.

This
I can’t believe how lame the OST is

DS isn't retro? Oh shit you fell for the "rules matter" on 4chan. At least the rest of the world knows DS is retro as fuck now.

This is heresy to me. As a kid, the music was the only thing I liked from the game, even without knowing it was from a classical piece.

The arcade version's "music" isn't much better

The TV show was so good... the OST was so good... how did they butcher this adaptation so badly? It came out like 5 years after Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin, but it controls 10x worse, has a worse OST, worse graphics, worse everything pretty much, even titles like Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six were more fun to play.

What were they thinking?

Purely in regards to how much it failed to meet the extremely high standards set by it's predecessor, Majora

Evergrace. It simply can't get worse than that. Everyone pretending to like it is either trolling or mentally ill

This game has the worst music I've ever heard in a game.

Does Spidey fight the Joker's inbred cousin in this game?

There is, just take two random songs and play them at the same time, make sure they don't synch up. There you go, Evergrace OST

American games on the genny sounded like fucking shit in most cases

Crazy Bus-esque, with less ear rape

>>11495224
Honestly, there is nothing good in Dragon Slayer. It belongs in the trashcan.

When this board was first started I had a thread asking game music that sucked.

I have a lot of nostalgia for the N64 version but after listening to the arcade version's OST, I just can't stand the console version anymore:

Star Wars: Dark Forces has some unbelievably dogshit midi.

Every battle theme in this game is close to this level of QUALITY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvDOOXyNcgI

A lot of "ports"(downgrades) fall into the shitty music category:

Chrono Cross has exactly one bad track, unfortunately that is the one that's heard most often. Mitsuda must have hungover that day.

Similarly, FF7 soundtrack is obviously great but this thing can FUCK RIGHT OFF

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZTYv-jHZ74
And finally I like the S3&K soundtrack in general but this theme is cancer, it's like a six second loop of the most annoying shit. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if some fucking moron didn't decide to have it be the theme for Super/Hyper form as well and last a lot longer than it would for an invincible box and override the stage music. Even Sonic 2 had a distinct theme for Super Sonic, I just don't get it.

>>11496602
I've been seeing people here talk about this game like it's some sort of hidden gem recently
Sure, it's kind of technically impressive but the problem is the game is still shit

Composer is Kinuyo Yamashita, most famous for her work on the original Castlevania
