Agent X II and Glider Rider are stand out tunes.

Platoon,Vindicator,Monty on the Run and Cybernoid 2 were all excellent tunes too.

EgoTrip

Anarchy has a good tune, as does 1st Division Manager although that would be more at home in a Dizzy game. Switchblade was another quality tune. Both Cybernoids have decent tunes, as does Exolon. And who can forget the awesome track in Oh Mummy. There are more I can't remember off the top of my head, theres loads of decent CPC music.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Burnin' Rubber, the music in that is awesome. I particularly like the High Score entry tune, although it always cut off just as I was enjoying it, darn it. The title music was pretty cool too, even if the first few notes always make me think I forgot to press F1 quick enough.  :laugh:

Bryce

AgentXII and Jetset Willy were two of my favourites, but I also liked Sabrewulfs Title Music, which hasn't been mentioned here yet.

Bryce.

MiguelSky

Yes, the Jet Set Willy ones, the Goonies, Romantic Robot Wriggler... they are in my mind a lot of times and I surprise me whistling them :)

Puresox

Yeah JSW rendition of 'The Moonlight Sonata' is something special , I used to love listening to that !

For Bravestarr, Mc SPE is a cracker, not the musician :P

I will add Astro Marine Corps, the music is really great for a CPC (like everything else in the game on our dear CPC :)

Pentagon

I really like "Gunfright" and "Glider Rider" and the loading music of Harvey Headbanger is funny, especially with some beer in my head. :laugh:

Cheers
Tom / Pentagon

I agree; while it's nothing special, it sounds very sweet and the overall effect is really, trully retro!

Puresox

Deflector-- Another piece that is fantastic!!

:( Bionic Commando?
But if this game had only FX effects, I wich have the original game,  ;D i haven't never felt music.
Do not underestimate the power of AMSTRAD CPC.

Yes you are right.
I must be confused with the speccy version then. ::)
But still it's a great tune.

I dream of playing a proper coded version of Bionic commando for the CPC... with different music for each level. I do love the Speccy version, but the Amstrad version is really piss poor, full of bugs  :(
