Oh man, now I REALLY hope you can listen to my podcast on my favorite video game music composers, because guess who's on the list? Yup, Yuzo Koshiro!
I didn't have a Genesis as a kid, because I was a SNES man. So there were very few Genesis games that really impressed me. But Streets of Rage 2 was one of the few Genesis titles that did! My favorite song from it is "Under Logic" which they play on the stage where you're on a baseball field. I liked the elevator under the pitcher's mound because it felt like it went super fast and went a million miles down. You should've been in the Earth's core by the end of it!
Some of my other favorite Yuzo Koshiro songs include the intro to Ys Book 2, stage 2 from Super Adventure Island, and pretty much everything in ActRaiser and Legacy of the Wizard. His game company, Ancient, also made an indie title on Xbox 360 called Protect Me Knight, and its 3DS sequel Gotta Protectors are both awesome.
Back to Streets of Rage, have you played Streets of Rage 4? The music's not as good, but it's still fun to play. I really liked it anyway. My favorite character used to be Blaze, but now it's DLC character Estel Aguirre, who is a police officer who looks like she ate a can of spinach!
