Comments:
(Ed Bellis) heard this before, it would be pretty great if it weren't so damn repetitive and actually went somewhere; seriously the song is basically 30 seconds long
(Kenri) Four's pretty decent and, at the very least, pleasant to listen to. It is kind of repetitive, but it's also short, so I don't mind. Yeah, I'd listen to this again.
(xp1337) Huh, this is kinda interesting, but nothing I'd say is great. Not bad though.
One of those songs that harkens back to my DOS Shareware days. You'll rarely go very long with me discussing VGM before I bring up Tyrian, and Raptor was the closest thing Tyrian had in terms of competition. Gameplay-wise, that is, as the music wasn't even close, but I liked the simple melodies that Raptor used, even if they were all simple little ditties that lasted like 15 seconds each. I'm surprised that on the actual list this held out above 18 other songs, though.

(Ytterbium_70) This fast-paced song is actually sort of neat, but outclassed by... a small margin
(Ed Bellis) I didn't think anything could actually be below Teary Edge, but there you have it; augh those samples
Oh wow, what impeccable timing you have there, Tyrian! We were just talking about you....There's a ton of tracks I like from this game, some of which are genuinely decent, and some of which are just Azuarc Specials. This one probably falls more into that second category, but that doesn't mean I didn't sit for hours listening to the sound test for this game while I watched the pretty lights go flashing by. (If you never saw the sound test in Tyrian, you wouldn't understand. It's probably the best sound test ever.)
80. Jazz Jackrabbit - Sluggion
Score: 14/30

(ImTheMacheteGuy) Meh. It's okay, but not great. Gets better at around 1:02. 3.8/10
Man, the shareware games are dropping like flies. Epic Pinball's still hanging, at least, right? Jazz Jackrabbit was never my favorite game. It seemed too much like a Sonic knock-off with a gun, (ok it was, but it seemed like nothing more than that,) and I wasn't a fan of playing Sonic the not-a-Hedgehog on a keyboard, even though I did it for tons of games back in the day. I never even gave the soundtrack to the game a passing thought until much more recently when I got linked to some stuff. Probably Tubelectric, since that's the popular track from this, but I actually kinda like Sluggion. The sounds are a little strange, and it has Robert Allen written all over it, but still I am entertained.
