There are plenty of CDDA tracks for PC-Engine CD games that totally fit the game. Not out of place or anything. I think it's funny to think of it as cheating. I mean, this isn't some chiptune contest... is it?
    I have a weird psychological block because I can't enjoy the music in a video game unless it's being produced in real time by the console.

    It's sort of like when I go to a fancy looking web site and realize the whole thing was built in Flash. Nothing is a separate element...it's all just part of the static Flash file. When I resize the browser, the text and images don't reflow. Of course, it takes talent to build a web site in Flash, but to me, I'm really impressed when a programmer can pull off something similarly fancy by adhering to web standards and using fluid HTML, CSS, PHP, etc. I'm old-fashioned that way.

    I feel the same way about pre-rendered FMV in video games. I get no enjoyment from them and prefer real-time cinema scenes using the actual game engine. Again, it obviously takes talent to make FMV, but I'm more impressed by a developer who can pull off something similar using its own game engine.

    I'm not saying prerecorded audio (or FMV) should be banned from video games, I'm just trying to explain the mindset I'm coming from. I know I'm in the minority.

    Anyway, does anyone know which developers preferred the Genesis and which preferred the SNES? I'll get the list going:

    Genesis:
    EA
    Technosoft
    Virgin

    SNES:
    Argonaut
    Capcom
    Enix
    Konami
    Square

    There must be other developers who preferred the Genesis and vice versa, but I'm not familiar enough to know who they are. Add them to the list!
