8/16 bit/rpg's = Metal!
palmer6strings:
Ok who agrees with me here?
Dr. Wily's theme from Mega Man (and other Mega Man songs) - Metal (Your thoughts Forte?)
Most Squaresoft/Square-Enix's RPGs music - Metal
Most games battle music - Metal
Boss music - Metal
Drive Fast music - Metal
And most importantly, about 85% of castlevania music - Metal
Sure, you can listen to whatever you want while you play, but when you write down the songs in these games, they end up being metal, or a form of hard rock. Sometimes they tend to be just a jumbled up mess like the dungeon music for super Mario bros.
There might be some who agree with me, then there will be haters too. But I would like to hear your thoughts.

i figured this out with a friend.
indeed almost every 8/16 bit game has that Heavy/ power metal feeling.

The turrican games were awesome examples of this

I have not played these... I shall now that you say something about it. Thanks! ;D
(Edit) Just so I could get an idea, I listend to the themes on youtube. Turrican 1 sounds pretty sweet, I think I'll will remake it. May take a while though. But with real instruments it will kick ass!
