When you first hit Project 4 Fortress and you hear that bassline take you into the level, you knew shit just got real. 35yrs old and my body still tenses up on reflex when I hear it. Incredible soundtrack.
I tjink its so amazing that what REALLY made us happy brings us back to the same place 30 something years later. That is a beautiful thing! Also my faves, Final fight series, sfa2, final fantasy sagas. AND Double Dragon series. All very cool music. Now I gotta fire my emulator up! 😂😂 ❤ u guys and Merry Christmas!!
My favorite side scroller ever. Funnest gameplay, great assortment of levels, freedom to choose level order (to an extent) and of course the best music.
A lot of this music would have fit right in on NES era Mega Man classic, and possibly some on SNES era Mega Man X as well. That is not a complaint, to be clear.
It makes sense that they sound like this. MegaMan one and two were both composed by the same people that composed this game. Manami Matsumae and takashi tateishi
Amazing game! A masterpiece by Capcom for the Super NES. Great graphics (for the time anyway), excellent level design, responsive gameplay and a BEAUTIFUL soundtrack that brings back many memories of a time that will never return. Thank you for uploading this.
One of my favorite SNES soundtracks and games. It was the very first SNES game that I got for Christmas in 1991...even before I got my SNES! I still have it to this day!
Todas las canciones especialmente el intro tienen un feeling inmejorables. Cada stage con su respecta canción era una aventura que realmente te conectaba con el juego.
I found myself humming the high-pitched part of Quartermaster Corps @13:00 and had to dig deep into my childhood to remember it was from this glorious game. Long live 8-bit music.
Another thing I would say about this soundtrack is that it sounds VERY Super Nintendo. If you were around back in the 90's you just knew that only the Super Nintendo could produce these sounds and melodies.
This was my only SNES Game when in was 6 years old I was the only one kid with a sistem Cause i lived in a rural área And the Game was my Life Inbeat It 3. Years after cause the cave was very dificult
I use the stages ( music ) to drive my big Mack on the port . You can’t tell me I’m not flying the way I maneuver with this soundtrack playing! Awesome game ! Awesome times and I’m getting a snes and this game for old time sakes ✈️✈️✈️
Capcom's music really did have a very signature set of instruments in the SNES era, almost all of these tracks could fit into a megaman x game and you'd never even notice.
Dunno how the top comments dont talk about the minks more, its like the most capcom early mid 90s snes era soundtrack sound out of any capcom 90s soundtrack
"Welcome to Area 88." "A year ago, a ruthless army of mercenaries swept across the kingdom of Aslan and destroyed everything in their path. Guided by the arms dealers of Project 4, the mercenaries now control every area of the country except one. On a tiny piece of desert lies the last hope of the people of Aslan. There, in a small corner of Area 88, are the world's finest pilots, the U.N Squadron. For months, they have been waiting for the exact moment to begin their assault on the forces of Project 4. That moment has just arrived. Each pilot begins his tour of duty with $3000 in his flight account and an unlimited number of F-8E Crusader aircraft. As you destroy air and ground targets, money will be added to your flight account. This money can be used to purchase additional aircraft and weapon systems to help increase your chance of survival. And only the best survive." (From the Manual)
They don't make games and soundtracks like this anymore!
Capcom tricked my dad into thinking this was some sort of Top Gun game back in the day and I’m glad they did.
That is an awesome memory!
Same
They tricked all our dads
LMAO GOOD ONE!
And it was WORLDS better than the actual “Top Gun” video game. 😎
36 years old and UN Squadron and Mega Man X are still forever the two best SNES soundtracks for me.
totally 100% agree. I'm 37 and still play both when I have down time
makes me sad that Megaman X is on spotify but no this, both games were prime childhood
Yes! Top Gear was great too!
Megaman 2 as well.
X3 🙌🏽
I use the Boss Music as a ringtone for my actual boss.

💯
Best soundtrack of any game ever. Been gaming for almost 30 years and this is it, my favourite soundtrack of all time.
And the game is top10 easily
Gunstar Heroes got better songs, but UN squadron is also great
I’m almost 30 and Front Line Base still gets stuck in my head from time to time.
You're not alone, friend.
Briefing for me
@@plank5797 Same!
Same... the title screen and front line base does it for me.
Briefing and enemy air force for me
The briefing music still gets me SO hyped
Same. It's the soundtrack that makes me still remember this game to this day.
It’s why I came here, stuck in my head former years now
I finally beat this game for the first time in 30 YEARS!! One of the best soundtracks in a video game!
Try beating it on GAMER mode (hardest difficulty, need a cheat code 2 unlock) GOOD LUCK. GODSPEED.
Ah yes, battleship Minks, classic
The whole OST is a masterpiece 😍
The Minks was the wall I hit as a child, lol. Took me years to finally sink that bastard.
Indeed, MINKS is the TOP BGM in the whole ost. Front Line Base & credits come in close 2nd & 3rd top best IMO
The music to this game was highly underrated 👌
That Final Boss track was so fucking epic when you first heard it. I was more used to hearing Game Over 😂
Final boss in Under defeat will impact you aswell mate.
There's something empowering about the introduction music. It makes you feel like you're there!
Idk how we came across this game as children but we played it so much, this music takes me back!
THE MINKS. BEST TRACK OF OST SOUNDTRACK. HANDS DOWN. NO DISCUSSION. so fricking epic especially the bass drop
We can't argue with you there!
10:52 If I had to pick just one. I used to do extra chores to rent this game when I was 5.
This is by far one of the greatest games that will ever be made.💯 one of the top games of my childhood!
The intro music is seriously amazing.
Why had no one every tried to remake this or Carrier Air Wing . Its like the world forgot how to make a fun side scrolling shooter after this game.
the Bass line is this whole soundtrack is so damn legendary and the whole soundtrack just hypes me to another level 🌫🛫🌩
If anybody ever questions how music can effect your emotions please know I uncontrollably sob to this quarterly
um ok
I totally feel you. The music is beyond anything made today
Vastly underrated comment. This, Chrono Trigger and Axelay really get me going.

Based on the manga and anime "Area 88"
Thanks for the heads up. Going to have to order it from my lgs
The Battleship Minks was my favorite level and boss. It felt really dope from the beginning to the end, soundtrack included.
A lot of this music would have fit right in on NES era Mega Man classic, and possibly some on SNES era Mega Man X as well.
That is not a complaint, to be clear.
That is a good thought actually! Agreed.

@@imperialjoe8023 it also just has that familiar Capcom feel of the era.

Forest fortress 2. And final boss. And bangers. This game will forever love rent free in my head

@@EIGHTBITPUNK Thank you for correcting me. I am a novice when it comes to audio differences and their terminology.

The melodies dude! So many interesting melodies in one game.
Boss 1 & 2 music brings back so much stress...
My first plane game when i was a child. I've done it hundred times! A masterpiece! Thanks from France
That pause sound tho 🤩
Bruh
Best snes OST out there, along with Mega Man X, DK Country and Mario RPG. It's has no business being that consistently awesome.
Super Nintendo the best of the best. This one was of my favorite games. :D
Probably one of the most underrated soundtracks for gaming
Briefing is what inspired me to want to be a fighter pilot.
That's awesome!
This was my only SNES Game when in was 6 years old
I was the only one kid with a sistem
Cause i lived in a rural área
And the Game was my Life
Inbeat It 3. Years after cause the cave was very dificult
i love this game :) the minks is a nice one
Thanks for posting. Didn't know I needed this.
I use the stages ( music ) to drive my big Mack on the port . You can’t tell me I’m not flying the way I maneuver with this soundtrack playing! Awesome game ! Awesome times and I’m getting a snes and this game for old time sakes ✈️✈️✈️
This is my all time favorite game! I love this game I wish I still have it
YEZSSS. 20:10 is THE BEAT!! 😮😮
OMG. Brings back so many memories!!!
Oh man I played the Hell out of this game! Brings back fond memories 😃
i never played this game from 5 years but this is the best ost! :)
Capcom's music really did have a very signature set of instruments in the SNES era, almost all of these tracks could fit into a megaman x game and you'd never even notice.
Street Fighter had the same style
always have and always be a banger OST
Original arcade composers:
Manami Matsumae
Takashi Tateishi (“Forest Fortress 1” track only)
SNES arrangements and original tracks:
Toshio Kajino, Mari Yamaguchi, Yasushi Ikeda
Didnt know this game had such an amazing OST. The Minks is my favourite
All these tunes are iconic but for me
boss 2 is the best
This is one of the best SNES soundtrack !
The briefing song always be stuck in my head lol.
Who else is here from Mario's Mystery Meat?
For anyone else: 15:17. You're welcome. Bless.
1:11 Chocolate Rain
duuuuuuuude I'm glad I'm not alone.
1:11 my ringtone.
"Chocolate rain" sped up 🤣
Great Soundtrack 😊
It's so good
This game is what introduced me to Area 88 before I saw the 1985 OVA trilogy, or read the manga.
Ah, así que de aquí viene la rola del canal de la poción roja. xD
To this day, the most fantastical thing about the entire game is the idea that UN would ever lift a finger in any conflict ever.
love how Capcom utilized jazz in their games.
Dunno how the top comments dont talk about the minks more, its like the most capcom early mid 90s snes era soundtrack sound out of any capcom 90s soundtrack
Mickey, all day : )
LO MAXIMO !
best game ever made
Can you imagine this old school music…in an Ace Combat game
that's just air combat and ace combat 2
Gracias Koyuki de la poción roja 😍😍😍😍
Who made the music?
Manami Matsumae
The seavet will always be my favorite track
Beautiful. Like pottery.
U mean like poetry???
@@reyjosephflechas4492 Pls learn internet lingo my friend.
10:53 Project 4 Fortress T_T masterpiece.... 22:11 Final boss ost.... are you tired? just wake up and fight 🔥

One of the best shooters on the Super NES
The first level song totally tectonic for the whole game
4:19 this song would definitely fit in a mega man x game.
Same vibe
2:00 That's my Ringtone s2.... And this sidescrolling is one of the best! And i AM still stuck onto 🤡
Me acuerdo que muchos de mis amigos me decían que este juego era muy difícil, que solo avezados se atrevían a jugarlo.
Update: Symphonic variant is still a work in progress. Looking like Q4 2022/Q1 2023 for completion.
Update?
@@FableCountry STILL IN PROGRESS. ABOUT 75% COMPLETE
Que genia la compositora de ésta música.
Briefing sounds like Chocolate Rain lmao
The whole album is amazing... until 24:00.
Then it's clear the composer phoned it in.
Front Line Base sounds a little like Guile's stage theme in SF2 and its canon in my head
forest fortress 2, seavet, final boss
The briefing song is lowkey Chocolate Rain
20:07 Karen Intro music
STRFKR should do an album based on this
Whitey Bulger, already killed the Apache pilots, that learned to fly from playing this. Ever play "Zoop"?
10:52…… the one i showed up for
21:57 stage clear theme.
Forest fortress 1 is where shit gets real.
I now imagine if the OSI from venture brothers had a video game it would be this! LMAO!
Brought to by Greg Gates! Soul survivor
Quartermaster Corps!!!
I wish the UN had a squadron
BRING THIS TO THE SWITCH
That would be awesome.
Briefing > Chocolate Rain
Literally Chocolate Rain.
