It seems that there are very few PC Engine/TurboGraphx-16 music compilations on YouTube. I've decided to take this matter into my own hands and to celebrate reaching 300 subscribers, I present to you 2+ AMAZING Hours of PC Engine SHMUP Music!

This compilation includes 62 tracks from PC Engine shoot 'em up games ranging from well known to obscure and all recorded from a real PC Engine Duo-R! the PC Engine library is chalked full of some the best shoot 'em up music of all time so I decided to only include shmup music for this one, sorry Bonk.

I limited my selections to no more than 2 tracks per game (or else the entire Soldier Blade soundtrack would be in here) and picked the tracks that represented the given game for me or that I just really like.

I hope you PC Engine and Turbo fans enjoy this compilation and to anyone new to this amazing retro console, I hope you discover some awesome chiptune music!

Please feel free to comment on your favorite PC Engine shmup themes or any that I should have included in this compilation.
