NES Layla - The Iris Missions Soundtrack 

Brick Man Brick Man knows

Some people do things just because they love them!

@@Margatroid Thanks to them.

Yes

Thanks for pointing that out. Was really confused for a moment...Doesn't help that they have "original game 1986" in the image.. *Though looking up a lets play of the 1986 one shows the real soundtrack is pretty good.

Ah, okay...i was confused over this as well. The music sounds a bit more advanced than I'd expect from an 80s nes game

No, for me it seems to have more of a Streets of rage influence, especially at 28:53

For real, some instances I couldn't tell if it was composed by Tim Follin.

Tim Follin es un mojón de compositor

Dunno man but it sounds more NES Natsume stuff than anything Tim Follin. I just don't feel the prog rock vibes here ☹️.

I’d say this was exactly the right amount of eager!

Ah! Well, that would explain why the portrait on the title screen, is uglier than I remembered! XD

@@Icelink256 No, that's just because of wonky filtering on the image.

It's not the height of 2A03's capabilities, but it's still great considering these songs were composed on dB-SOFT's poor sound driver. "Sound driver" is the part of game's code that's responsible for how music and in-game effects sound (and these themselves are stored within the game's code - the PRG ROM), this is what makes Konami, Capcom or Nintendo games have their distinct, recognizable vibe, despite running on the same hardware (I don't count expansion chips here). And if you played some of those bootleg NES/Famicom games, you might have noticed that their sound is quite off due to possible accidental alternations of the sound driver by pirates. So it's not just the hardware that SupperTails66 pushed to its limits, but mainly the software, a barely documented one at that. What's more amazing is that he wrote all the songs in ImpulseTracker and then made his own application called Clapton to inject the music modules as the sound data within game's ROM. And his own level editor specifically for the purpose of this hack.

@@PrekiFromPoland I would have never known this wasn't a custom driver. Really, thank you for this information : all this work on the creator's part makes it all the more wonderful.

@@PrekiFromPoland "He wrote all his music in IT" That explains the sound design a whole lot.

​@@marcine.mukuchi Wdym?

You smell right.

I smell it too.

I think that's just me needing a shower

I think you not from 1990

hi

nah 2017, this is the ost from a rom hack

この音楽は1986年からではない。。。これは改造版の音楽で、2017年からと思います。

Hack's author, SupperTails66.

That replaced the original soundtrack by Yasuhito Saito, who also did all versions of Woody Poko, and later various Data West games such as the RayXanbeR trilogy and the Psychic Detective series.

Sounds like keygen music style

It's a hack rom, the owner of the soundtrack and the hack is suppertails66 and sorry my english is very bad xd

Remake would be nice, that's for sure, but dunno who holds the rights to dB-SOFT's game library as of now and if they would be interested in a remake/reboot in the first place. Well, then there are always crazy doujin developers in Japan...

I just looked it up. The original game is from 1986, but this is from a recently released ROM hack :)

And music from the original game isn't good as this soundtrack.

swedez I don't think anyone from 1986 could make music like this, it would be way ahead of its time.

Hack's author had this same limited sound engine to work with, so technically they could pull it off in 1986. They just... didn't, not everyone is a skilled musician, besides that the original game was made by a little-known company with possibly limited budget.

PrekiFromPoland Yeah, people back in 1986 didn't have the musical knowledge to produce such a song.

Trash sound engine, but really good melodies. Like, I can see potential in the music, but it's extremely rough.

YES, especially the secon song

It's from a ROMhack.

-_- ... hmmm... that's why.

hi

The original composer is Yasuhito Saito(斉藤 康仁), but this soundtrack was composed by SupperTails66.

Be warned though - the very last portion of the game is infuriating, even if you have limitless continues at your disposal (think of Ninja Gaiden level of frustration). But after going through it you can call it a day. I've beaten the game yesterday, totally legit - no savestates used. And the bonus level is pure genius xD

Original game from 1986, this is romhack from 2017.

自分もこんなに音楽良かったっけなと 調べてみたらファンメイドの改造版みたいですよ

@@moffy645 らしいですね、私も少し調べたら海外のファンが作った同人ゲーム的な感じみたいですね。 それにしても凄い

sir do you need help

It's actually 2017. This is from a Rom hack.
