Streets of Rage 2

The Story

Yuzo Koshiro composed Streets of Rage 2's soundtrack alone, in his bedroom, using algorithmic composition techniques he developed himself to exploit the Genesis FM synthesis chip in ways nobody else had attempted. The music is technically a masterpiece of what a 16-bit sound chip can do. The game itself is the gold standard of beat 'em ups — two-player, four characters, pacing that never stops. But the music is the reason it's still talked about.
