I don't care what you vulgarians say the Sega Genesis Yamaha YM2612 sound chip is beautiful. That crusty distortion effect, the bloopin ass bass, that thingy bell sound. It's music of the angels and it's the pinnacle of human musical achievement.

Shoot them bloops straight into my carotid artery faded

Also death dynamic shroud's latest album uses a Genesis sound aesthetic and it rules

In the right hands it's great, like Contra: Hard Corps, Gunstar Heroes or Streets of Rage 1-3 with the GOAT Yuzo Koshiro.

Oh no the Mega Drive (Genesis) Jurassic Park was totally different from the Nintendo one. You could play as the Raptor!

I dislike that GEMS sound driver sound a lot, it seems like almost every Western developed Mega Drive game uses it.
