Vajra - This is slightly better music than the sequel. The composer is Yasuhito Saito, who did the very nice soundtrack for RAYXANBER (the first game, on FM-TOWNS).

Vajra 2 - Sadly, lots of SFX are part of the audio tracks...the worst offender is the track with "MECH WALKING" SFX for nearly the entire track.

JB Harold Manhattan Requiem - the opening track is amusing (with all the voice acting), but the "jazz" is actually totally fun. I have listened to this a lot since it doesn't get as tired as other soundtracks.

The sound quality is far from perfect, but until I get source files, this is better than nothing.

LaserActiveGuy provided this two years ago! Sadly, he recorded the tracks with lots of clipping. Oh well. Like I said, better than nothing!

:)

NOTE: These are the only three PC Engine LaserActive Games that exist! They did not make any more LD-ROM games, sadly...

Wow, totally forgot about these!  Vajra 2 ain't workin' at the moment. :/

I must have been tired. I couldn't figure out the problem. Then I realized a tiny typo.

Where did he get the soundtracks?  Just ripped them from the games?

LaserActiveGuy is the one to ask. I can walk him.

I honestly don't know how audio and video data is organized on a LaserDisc, or how to isolate just the audio tracks (without the SFX from the console mixed in).

I actually like all three soundtracks, but the recordings have lots of clipping.
