Here are my picks:
10. (I'd just grab one randomly and bury it so I could 'discover' it later
:)
9. Dracula X
8. Bomberman '94
7. Bonk's Adventure
6. Galaga '88
5. Ninja Spirit
4. Soldier Blade
3. Dragon's Curse
2. Military Madness
1. Devil's Crush
Hey, speaking of Soldier Blade, I have a friend who's looking for a copy and
I'm running out of places to hide mine. Any chance someone wants to sell
one? He's got many games to trade, mostly Japanese CD games.
Ah, here's a question...
After I bought my Roland Sound Canvas a few years ago, I quickly realized
that this was the sound module used in many PC Engine CD games. My question
is, do any of you know of other synths/modules that were used? I'd really
like to know what Falcom was using in the early days. And why did they
'upgrade'?! I mean, just listen to the music in Ys IV and compare it to the
others. While the PCM is great, the CD music doesn't compare.
Incidentally, if any of you own a Sound Canvas, you should definitely check
out Atsushi Fukai's homepage:

He does WONDERFUL original music. One of his projects is 'Project Ys',
where he's written an original story, and some truly great music to go along
with it. I was amazed (and more than a little humbled) by what this man can
do with a Sound Canvas.
Oh, geez, there goes the Ramble Alarm! Ceasing transmission.
