how come Solstice is suddenly a wretched game?

it's a wonderful C64 style adventure

I hate its isometric view and the controls feel kinda awkward and I found that others do too *shrug*

Don't know if you use it, but I listen to a lot of VGM on Shaun Inman's iOS app, 'NoiseES' - The music he recommends from 'Project S11' is awesome!

The Mafat Conspiracy if my memory serves me well, was an absolute nightmare to play. I loved the music, but the gameplay was atrocious. I was also very young.

It was much more playable than its predecessor, Top Secret Episode. Though I liked Top Secret Episode's more intricate storyline better.

I wish someone would do a piano rendition of that!

One of the worst games I've played for the NES, X-Men has some music I really like in it, particularly the Practice Theme.

Same composer as Silver Surfer i'm told.

Yeah, and Silver Surfer is definitely another bad game/awesome soundtrack combo.

yup, Tim Follin

He also did Treasure Master, which is fucking bonkers. 

He did a goddamn crossfade, on an NES.  A crossfade. on an NES.  at 0:55 seconds

I guess compared to the game play, the graphics, the everything else, the music is superb, but it's still not all that great, in my opinion. The music, when considered apart from it's realization on an NES, is nice, but the programmers don't do much with the sound chip besides beeps and shit.

i dont remember anything about toejam and earl panick on funkotron being good apart from the amazing soundtrack

theres also hal's hole in one golf which ive never played but is probably bad because its a golf game, but has a great soundtrack

and barbie super model for the megadrive

Whomp 'Em was a family favorite and also had some strange, yet interesting, jams. I feel like people know about this one. I've seen some mixed reviews on it.

While not terrible, I thought that Nintendo World Cup had some bangers. Same goes for Little Nemo. I still like the movie better than the game, though.

Maybe some Faxanadu, though I think that has gained some popularity. I always felt like the physics sucked in that game.

Some of Codmaster's stuff was meh on the gameplay, but they did pretty good with music. This was a pretty good example.
