| If you're into this kind of thing check out the Dirtywave M8.

| Highly recommended. One of my favorite pieces of gear I own.

|
| While the soundchip of the SNES is technically superior
| (sample-based versus the Mega Drive's FM synthesis), some
| people prefer the sound of the Sega console. Personally I lean
| towards the SNES, but some Mega Drive games (like the Streets
| of Rage examples you mentioned) can have real bangers. In the
| end it's a matter of taste.

| FastTracker. See from around 7:30 in this video:

| Album description says that this song was "written on a classic

| I also like Cyanide Dansen's music:
