STAGE 17: SUNSOFT

SUNSOFT began developing original games and technology for the home console market in the latter half of the 1980s , with emphasis mostly on the NES which many would say was the golden era for the company. The games they released for the Nintendo Entertainment system were widely considered widely entertaining in both gameplay, graphics and more importantly MUSIC. Sunsoft developed video games with awesome soundtracks, games like Blaster Master, Gimmick!, and Journey to Silius. And with those few mentions listed, It was no surprise that I would dedicate this entire STAGE of the Retro VGM Revival hour to one of my favorite game companies growing up: SUNSOFT. So get ready to go into a time warp of amazing and legendary SUNSOFT game music.
