Kong’s T’day Tune #21

I’ve put together a list of 60 tunes that have stuck with me through the years, inspired by Jeffrey Canam (@GrahfMetal)’s Twitter rundown of his top 100 favourite video game tracks. I’ve attempted to limit myself to a couple songs per game, but there are exceptions.

I’ll post them here and on Twitter every Tuesday and Thursday using the hashtag #KongsTdayTunes.

Back to Capcom. Back to Mega Man. This game is easily one of the highlights of Capcom’s days of chip tune dominance, and one of the highlights of the NES sound library as a whole. I could have used almost any tune from the game here, but I had to go with “Flash Man” for its snappy intro that segues seamlessly into this great chill melody.

Track: “Flash Man” (YouTube Link)
Game: Mega Man 2 (NES, 1988)
Composer: Takashi Tateishi
