  1. Hey guys.
    I thought I should let you guys know about finding out about NES games composers not listed on SlickProductions.

    You could try MobyGames, as a last resort.

    Also, if one of you has Winamp and the NotsoFasto plugin for it, you can force NES tracks to be in stereo. It's a nice feature.

  2. Thanks for making this one in stereo. It sounded great in the car.

    Rob, if you liked Super Star Soldier's soundtrack, make sure you definitely check out Final Soldier's as well.

    1. Takeaki Kunimoto didn't compose the track that was played on the show. He only composed three of the tracks as specified on his blog:

      According to him, the other tracks might have been done by Daisuke Inoue.
