        I completely agree. That was my biggest disappointment in gaming.

    Video games changed so much during the 90s. I feel like this describes a single year.

      Soundtracks have always been fire though. I still have the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, Red Alert soundtrack, Sim City 3000, etc in my playlist.

          Nine in Nails did the music and sound fx for quake.

          I feel like it might have started the trend, but I’m not sure.

          Edit: also, I hadn’t thought about fear factory in decades. Time to get double bass drummed right back to high school!

          In the 1990s the only Sonic level with snowboarding was Ice Cap zone.

            And Robotnik Winter Zone in Triple Trouble, and Ice Cap from Sonic Adventure, City Escape from SA2, and White Acropolis in Sonic 06, and the entirety of the Sonic Riders games.

      Completely agree. That being said, they still have Masayoshi Soken, and he is easily in the top 3 modern Video Game Composers.

        So much of my emotional investment in FFXIV is enhanced by the music, especially in Endwalker.

    Donkey Kong Country had like. One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Game was really hard towards the end too. One of my fav games of all time.

    Doom could apply here too. ID was very much a small studio of dorks with a limited budget.
