85: Gimmick! in 30 Minutes

Released late in Nintendo’s 8-bit run — and even then, only in Japan and Scandinavia — the Sunsoft platforming game Gimmick! Has one of the best soundtracks of that era. In fact you might be surprised just how beautiful Masashi Kageyama could make the system sound, even when most eyes (and ears) were focused on the brand new Super Famicom.
