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.
