Title: This thread needs all the cawbells!!!
Post by: Tatsujin on October 21, 2011, 09:59:49 PM

aka The "King of Cawbells"-Game?

I like to find as much as possible games that featuring cawbells in their sound track (BGM).

The entrants so far are:

1. Galaxy Force II (Arcade, Koichi Namiki) beyond the galaxy @2:12



2. Thunder Blade (Arcade, Koichi Namiki) @0:29



3. Hellfire (Arcade, Tatsuya Uemura) @1:00 (thx to Ope)




Please feel free to add as many games as you know that feat. cawbells. At the end we will vote for the "King of Cawbells"-Game :)

damn, I was just thinking about how it would have been awesome if tim follin had used some cawbells, and at that very moment the following game came back to my mind.

Just remembered Thrash Rally on the Neo Geo also features some cawbell. You can hear it at 3:58 of SuperD's video during the score ranking screen.

Super Turrican has one of THE best SNES soundtracks.  I love that level's music.

Holy snap! I love the HI NRG dance music in this game! Yes, yes, I've read about this game before (as a shoot-em-up fan), but not a single article expressed the supremely awesome early-90's NRG of the tunes.

Cowbells, or not, I have a weak spot for this stuff. It helps explain why I liked a lot of tracks from Exile (TG-CD), too.

Lol, scramble stage 3 is one of my all time fav BGMs on teh SFC and I never noticed the cawbells until now. Can't be. Porbably because they were used to create a simple melody instead of just hitting one tone like a metronome clock generator.

Btw. here a much cleaner record of it :)


Esty, its a must have on teh SFC. If not this, then which?

Even the final battle uses teh cowbell! The Epic-o-meter has ruptured! it even goes great with the background, scrolling at high speed as if the base is crumbling

You speak the truth :)

Because of limited funds, I haven't really explored much of the Superfamicom library.

BUT, I have purchased "must-haves"... so why haven't I grabbed this game. I HAVE NO IDEA.

It looks great.

Okay, I'm now addicted to cowbells. Somebody stop me before I raid the nearest barn. :twisted:

Cowbell @ 1:19 & 2:46 http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/MotoRoader_MC/MR_MC_Track_05.mp3 (right-click to save.mp3) Subtle, but it is there. I must find more cowbell! UPDATE: Yes! More cowbell! http://junk.tg-16.com/audio/MotoRoader_MC/MR_MC_Track_11.mp3 (right-click to save.mp3) Ladies and gentleman, this track is the WINNER so far. IMMEDIATE, NON-STOP, HARD-ROCKIN' COWBELL, now with MACHINE-GUN FIRE. Word up.
