I love this theme, particularly because I remember going into an arcade and, when I heard this song, I just had to go and watch other people play. The visuals were stunning, as well as the sound quality. Sega cabinets always had excellent speakers, I suppose, because their games sound fantastic. (Never had the chance to hear an original QSound cabinet back in the day, so I can't comment on that)

I agree 100%. I couldn't imagine what this gem would be like without the soundtrack.

Emulation's nice when done well

I remember gaming round a mates house bitd and he would always want to turn the sound down and put on his tunes instead. Really hated that.

I want to hear the games music.

In fact i even listen to game OST's which I've been told is very nerdy lol.

We put the Diddy Kong Racing soundtrack on whilst playing split screen because there was no music in multiplayer. Next level nerdage.

I hope I haven't missed it in your posts, but no one has fond memories of Killer Instinct? In our arcade hall, the cabinet had speakers on maximum level and no one complained. The music was too cool to be real
