Been going through a bit of a sidplay phase and have noticed some stunning soundtracks on C64 conversions which actually improve on the arcade.
So was thinking, was other notable examples are there of this:
C64
Ghouls n Ghosts - some of the tunes are the same but the title tune is a masterpiece
Bionic Commando - title tune sounds like a load of milk bottles and saucepans being hit but somehow brilliant
R-type - title music is stunning - arcade doesn't have any. Chris Hulsbeck was behind this and it's up there with Turrican 2 (Amiga) as one of the best
Arkanoid - ditto, Martin Galway
Amiga
Ghouls n Ghosts - Follin again. Level 1/5 music totally different to arcade but amazing.
