@@picklepotato666 I mean, graphic-wise, this looks closer to, for example, the original Metroid than Sonic the Hedgehog. But point taken about cigarette equivalence between 8 and 16 bit, I'll keep this in mind.
I really like Mega Drive soundtracks, I raised with it hearing from the earphones port, sometimes I turned my Mega Drive on without the TV and I could put the game in the sound track blindly just to listem and vibe to it
Genesis was the console that I really connected with as a kid. The sound chip of this system just really hits me in the nostalgia. Thank you so much for putting this beautiful compilation together
Stumbled upon this playlist, and with it, unlocked a treasure trove of memories of sitting in bed on a saturday morning playing Genesis without a care in the world other than beating the game. That was the only goal for the day.
That would be a really fun retirement home idea for the millennials. I wonder what zoomer nostalgic retirement home would be like. Xbox 360s with COD 4 multiplayer and Minecraft on them likely.
Great compilation. That's a great feeling and sad, sorrowful one at the same time, when you know every composition in this one by heart, played all of those games, and had conversations with half of those legendary composers. And it's still not enough. Life is short, hard and then you die. Dude, you even inserted KOEI game, "Aerobiz Supersonic", that's great. KOEI Master here. Anyway, great to see another expert or connoisseiur or whatever, well done. Have a good time (try at least). All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Absurdism wins.
Man, this is huge. I'm from the 90's , it feels like I'm going back to my childhood playing my Sega Genesis. This is an amazing list. I can't stop listening to it ...
Very relaxing, takes you back to a simpler time. Less on demand, a slower pace. Time went a bit slower. Listened to this on and off all day. Has been relaxing, to listen with a coffee, or in bed. Great to gather your thoughts too. To plan and reflect. Thanks for uploading this.
I keep coming back to this playlist, it's so good to do game work with this playing in the background. Would love it if you did additional Sega Genesis mixes like this.
When I started making calm, relaxing Sega Genesis music compilations, internet was a diffenret place for sure. I was shocked to see many SNES compilations of mellow music but none of SEGA Genesis/MD. That's why I started my YT channel. Glad to see that things have changed and downbeat, relaxing soundtracks are being recognized by the masses. :) Thank you for your great work, Dustin! _PostScriptum - check description, there might be an error._
This is why I love music so much. “I love music because it’s the only thing I know that transfers human emotions in a way that people who live completely different lives can connect.” - Dan Reynolds
I've listened to this set so many times now. Let me join in the chorus of thank yous. Unlike most mixes of relaxing game music on YT this one isn't just a big boring compilation of tracks from RPGs and popular games. That you are a musician and have discerning taste and wanted to present us with a variety of styles and compositions rings clearly through, does not go unnoticed, and is highly appreciated! The jazzy and samba numbers from the golf and pool games kill me. The gorgeous, rich harmonies of the Landstalker ballad. The slinky Super Hydlide. The groove of Flashback 11. So much good stuff. BGM4 on the first golf game on a 30 some-year-old console is so fucking good I'm super jealous I didn't write it.
As others have pointed out, it's great that this list is so eclectic. Ranges far afield and doesn't just rely on the big named songs that get so heavily recycled. Don't get me wrong, I love some Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and other RPGs but hearing this new (to me) stuff is amazing. Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you so very much for this. This makes me feel like a kid again! Always loved the SEGA Genesis growing up, and this is just a beautiful nostalgia bomb in the form of music, and I love it! I’ll openly admit, I haven’t actually played a majority of these games as a kid, but know more about most of them as an adult. Still, nostalgia aside, I always loved the Genesis for it’s sound capabilities, and this compilation is an awesome showcase of that. I play this whenever I want something peaceful, and I fall asleep to this occasionally. It’s so beautiful! I especially respect the Genesis more and more as an adult, because it was able to do things the SNES couldn’t do. The Sinking Old Sanctuary is probably one of my favorite Genesis tracks. It’s atmospheric, even for Genesis standards. The Streets of Rage ending theme speaks for itself, as we all know too well, and that’s because Yuzo Koshiro is a musical genius. Never played Mickey Mania as a kid, but I have looked it up a few times, and I’m constantly blown away by how fluid the animation for that game really is. Every frame of animation has outstanding timing, and the attention to detail is precious, and definitely well done, and still manages to look awesome, even today. The soundtrack is really well done, as well. While none of the tracks from this particular game are on here, I have to point out Garfield: Caught in the Act, which is another game I’ve unfortunately never played, but have done plenty of research on. For example, Jim Davis and PAWS, Inc. were directly involved with the game, and it definitely shows, especially in the animation, much like Mickey Mania. Both of those games have exceptionally well done animation, and look great. I used to play Comix Zone as a kid, but never could beat it. It’s actually amazing that game turned out the way it did, even in 1995. The exact same year, we got an obscure Genesis game made by the exact same team, SEGA Technical Institute, called The Ooze, which is something that never really hit mainstream popularity, but has it’s own fandom, as well as it’s own speedrunning community. Anyway, your music choices are definitely fantastic, especially speaking as someone who has grown to appreciate the Genesis for it’s sound chip more and more over the years. This was fantastic!
Been into Genesis / Megadrive since the console was released (pre-Sonic era) and I’ve always loved MD music. I have a lot myself and some on vinyl but this is an amazing playlist with some deep cuts I’ve never heard. Listen to this all the time thank you so much for making this.
its been a long time since i have arrived til the end of a game. It is usual nowdays in the games to have such nice ending music? These songs are like the perfect end of a big adventure. Good old days.
Make the video fullscreen, stare at the image for a few seconds, then go back to window and make it the tiniest the player allows you to. It's amazing how the pixels dissapear and looks like a real-life photo. Thinking the same thing happens to console is somewhat nostalgic
Yeah, my friend and I rented California Games from the video store and played it all weekend. The hackey sack level was funny. The whole sound track is strange, wonderful, and relaxing.
So many flashbacks...I surprise myself how many damn games i played, and finished 90% of them..,its a 'law' right? Y's III song is so beautyful i can't contain it
What a perfect compilation! And ending it with the ending theme from Ristar was just the icing on the beautiful cake. That song has brought me to tears on more than one occasion, as to me, it represents not only what made the Genesis and that era of gaming in general so great, but as an extension, it also represents the end of that era, which we will never truly be able to go back to. Thank you for making these songs as well as what made this console so unique and special so widely available, and recorded in the top quality possible, from real hardware! :)
Another great compilation, I always thought the genesis lacked relaxing music but it appears I was wrong. After listening to all of your great real hardware recordings I can't go back to emulated recordings. My friend and I have even recorded some music from a couple of obscure genesis games on our model 1s so that there are good quality recordings of them out there. What i'd like to say is that I don't think my Sega Genesis music experience would be the same without your videos Dustin.
Dynamite Headdy - Ballad for You is one of the most romantic songs ever written for the Genesis. My head canon is the composer wrote it for someone they were secretly in love with.
Excellent playlist. I had made a similar one for myself with some overlap but not nearly as many tracks as you have here! Thanks again for all that you do!
Thanks a lot, those ''Good ending '' songs are perfect , just the 1st in.the speakers and I can hear that it will be what I want to listen. You're the MAN ! 👂👌✌😁
Guau, beatifull collection, and a lot of hard work... I love your channel. Muchisimas felicidades por ésta obra de 2 horas Dustin, me encanta tu canal y adoro la música de Sega, espero que sigas con más y más videos.
The Good Ending on Streets of Rage is a Classic! It could easily have vocals. I can't believe thay got that sound out of what they had!
I could really go for an 8-bit cigarette right now
😂
@@picklepotato666 the music is 16, right.. but are those graphics 16bit?

You had 1 job cabrone.
16 bit cigarette.
Your destiny is now to edit your comment and fix it.

Really needed this right now. Much appreciated dude.
Sonic 2 Sky chase zone has major chill factor for my nostalgia.

It brings back fond memories of going over to my cousin's house. He had the Sega while we had Nintendo.
Switching it to 240p made it really look like how I remember our old tv looking. Gave me real relaxing nostalgia vibes.
you coulnd't be more right!
Final Zone- After the War comes on and just like that....I'm floating in space.
Stumbled upon this playlist, and with it, unlocked a treasure trove of memories of sitting in bed on a saturday morning playing Genesis without a care in the world other than beating the game. That was the only goal for the day.
"Ground Zero" burned itself into my brain the first time I beat Shinobi 3.
I love this song, and the ending sequence as a whole.
They gotta bring back malls and arcades in 2045 for retirement communities. Retire and play sega Genesis all day long
That would be a really fun retirement home idea for the millennials. I wonder what zoomer nostalgic retirement home would be like. Xbox 360s with COD 4 multiplayer and Minecraft on them likely.
A dude sitting on the nose of his F-15 Strike Eagle smoking a cig fits "Relaxing Genesis" perectly. Thanks for this playlist!
I miss Sega so much 😔
Keep coming back to this one.
What a vibe
If you set the video quality to 144p the checkerboard patterns get filled in to make a gradient
nice, just tried it
Awesome :-)

Feels so good to listen to this after work with a cup of coffee.
Best Megadrive compilation ever made! Too bad some tunes are widely forgotten cause they are "map" or "ending" themes. (After the War beyond others)
I keep coming back to this playlist, it's so good to do game work with this playing in the background. Would love it if you did additional Sega Genesis mixes like this.
My face got melted by a few of these
Three thousand guitars
they seemed to cry
Melt my ears then my eyes
Cities on flame now
with rock n' roll

it reminds me of my younger days playing sega .
Same here , keep the nostalgia alive.
1:12:38 - I knew it! It had to appear. The most relaxing & soothing title of the Genesis' lifespan.
Agreed this just never gets old or repetitive. Amazing piece of music
Keeping the genesis/mega drive spirit strong!

@@OriginalMasters yessir, the tunes are therapeutic
Unlike SNES, Genesis is not known generally for good "chill" tunes. I'm surprised to find this wonderful compilation. Well done and thank you.
100 times a week at least. I love this video.
Epic.
This puts me in a trance
That Arnold Palmer's song is magic
as a kid i used to play this game alot. It was very fun!

California Games - Surfing 37:00, was one of the best Genesis Tunes - I could listen to it allllllll day. Oh the memories!
Yeah, my friend and I rented California Games from the video store and played it all weekend. The hackey sack level was funny. The whole sound track is strange, wonderful, and relaxing.
So many flashbacks...I surprise myself how many damn games i played, and finished 90% of them..,its a 'law' right?
Y's III song is so beautyful i can't contain it
Perfect songs, perfect "ending theme" vibe. Very well curated from the entire Genesis library...Thank you for this.
Best comfort music after another lame day at work. Adulting just ain't fun sometimes..thank you 16 bit gods
YOUR BACK!
WE MISSED YOUR GREAT GENESIS OST RECORDINGS!
Try not to cry listening Ristar's ending tune.
I too

I will be listening several times.
Музыка для души, потому что это музыка детства
i keep listening to the again and again. Great compilation! nostalgic feeling to the max.
This is just beautiful, thanks so much for taking the time to create this masterpiece!!
Man the Genesis is such a vibe. Thanx for the playlist!
SEGA fanboy here. Good memories
41:24 - also repurposed as the Doom II: Sunlust Map 01 track!
My dude doing the Lords work making me chill af with this mix
My favorite would have to go to the streets of rage song simply bc it’s my favorite beat em up franchise and this song is catchy and relaxing
Yes
This is such a good compilation; the way the songs flow is nice
What a F*ing tremendous playlist.
Inspiring me to have a smoke.
Boosted my high
Bout to light a j packed with Euphoria. Time to cherish the peaceful moments in this life lol.
Yes Sir, lets hit one!
Amazing how games you never played can still give you nostalgic feels. Good job as always Dustin! I love Monster World the best, never played it
Dynamite Headdy - Ballad for You is one of the most romantic songs ever written for the Genesis. My head canon is the composer wrote it for someone they were secretly in love with.
This compilation clears my mind. :)
Columnns - Lathesis reminds me of the first time i played with my new Game Gear!
That track is the best in that game. It was so melancholic. The game was made the year I was born, lol.
At first, I thought I was looking at a humanoid goat with smoke coming out of his head....
love how the music syncs to the shooting star at times
Thank you
That crusader of centy track is dope
Сейчас бы вернуться в детство на недельку...)
Old days 😭
First one is beautiful
A perfect way to ease the chaos we’re in... thanks Dustin.
Nice background image choice! I was actually listening to the Vapor Trail OST when this video popped up!
"Everting gonna be okay"
-SEEEGAAAAA,1990
sounds like it!
Didn't realize that I needed this today.
00:52:00 ahhhh. so many good memories!
me too! i loved hearing this song in the menu as a kid
Out-freaking-standing. You do a great job compiling these playlists.
Many really softish cool tunes here ♥
Great choice of sounds, Genesis/Mega Drive games don´t get that vibe of having relaxing ost, but your video proved otherwhise.
I want an endless cigarrette like the one smoked by this guy
Instant sub. Thank you for this.
Phantasy Star needs to be here.
Amen. PS-ll cotton attack with catchness de luxe
And I'm back listening to greatest compilation of Genesis/Megadrive tracks on RUclips.
Thank you for this line up. Sega has beautiful sound tracks.
This is a great mix... Thanks for putting this together.
This is such a perfect mix, love the background image as well! Hope we get another playlist one day
Woe.
This collection's sick good!
Ys III - Sentimental Twilight. AWESOME!!!!!!! the number 1!!! best regards from Brazil.

I would recommend Heat Waves from Super Monaco GP. Beautiful tune that would fit on this list perfectly.
This is so good. Ton of my favorite games and just the best vibe. Nice one!
Gonna have this playing all day today while I'm stuck at home. Thanks Dustin!
