32: Beyond River City
Though probably most familiar to North American gamers as the series that gave us River City Ransom and Crash and the Boys, the Kunio-Kun series is one of the longer-lived and more varied in video game-dom. Kazuo Sawa's soundtracks are not only consistently great but also some of the most representative of how great 8-bit NIntendo could sound. And considering how most of the Famicom-era titles didn't make it outside Japan, you may well be hearing this great tracks for the first time.
