Why did the 99.6462% of american games for the genesis had such

>>3810035
americans cant program custom sound drivers apparently

>>3810035
I dunno blame GEMS? Everybody else does.

A lot of games that were made for the Genesis in america were made on something like middleware. It also came with a default music programer. Since FM synth is actually hard to patch/program over samples and waveforms.

Some composers knew how to use GEMS well.

Is this the 0.3538%?https://youtu.be/0zzVBPFdzMo

Loads of games for any console in any region have shit music.

HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT BRRRRAAAAPPPP

first time I see this thread

Comix Zone used GEMS and lots of "trash" noise effects to make an awesome grunge-style soundtrack.

Road Rash 1 didn't exactly have very sophisticated FM instrumentation, but the composer was an experienced C64 audio coder, so he still made it have a cool wavy quality that perfectly suits countryside bike racing.

DAMN THAT ROAD RASH TRACK IS SICK

>>3811301
1 had by far the best music in the series IMO. There's just something about it which makes it so perfect for Road Rash.

>>3811287
there's patterns that indicate americans are notably bad at it.

>>3811286
Cripes Phelios had better voice synth than this mess.

I think I remember Rob Hubbard talking about once that when he went to america at the time the publishers generally really didn't care about music at all so they would just hire some random jackass to do the job.

I think only Howard Drossin,Tommy Talerico and John Baker, got somewhere. Which does say a lot

Fan made, but it shows what could been done

same reason why american games for genesis had such awful colour usage

most of the budget was spent in marketing

>>3812493
It's like someone took a color palette and took a dump on it...

>>3810035
Americans like fart noises
