Oh, bugger, I almost forgot about this. There are a lot of balls being juggled right now. OK, not really, but I'm here now. That's what matters. I'll tell you what else matters: your opinions and thoughts on the selection of music I bring you each week. This would mean nothing without you after all. So, how did Secret of the Forest from Chrono Trigger fare once it got put through the ringer? Does it get enough love? I give you the leaderboard....


One-Winged Angel (Final Fantasy 7) - 8.71
Aquatic Ambience (Donkey Kong Country) - 8.66
At Doom's Gate (Doom) - 8.375
Guile Stage Theme (Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo) - 8.25
Secret of the Forest (Chrono Trigger) - 8.14
Go Straight (Streets of Rage 2) - 8
Bloody Tears (Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest) - 7.85
Anything But Tangerines (Earthworm Jim 2) - 7.75
Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog) - 7.72
Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 64) - 7.71
Fight Against Smithy (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) - 7.2
Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved) - 7.125
Spark Mandrill Stage (Mega Man X) - 7
Act 2 Part 2 (Ninja Gaiden) - 6.66
Ozar Midrashim (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver) - 6.6
Breeze - In Monochrome Night (Silent Hill 3) - 6.25
Big Apple, 3AM (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Turtles in Time) - 6.16
Apocalypse Battle (X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse) - 5.75
Still Alive (Mirror's Edge) - 5.5
The Instinct (Killer Instinct) - 5.42
Heaven (The Impossible Game) - 4.16
The Jack Attack (You Don't Know Jack: Television) - 3.57


8.14? Well, that's a nice display of dick length if I ever saw one. Uh...that was an odd metaphor to use. Anyway, it qualifies for elite status on the chart, snagging that number 5 spot. Can anything snatch that coveted number one spot away from our reigning champion?

This little ditty is up next to take a whack at it. I saw the list and I thought to myself that there is another nineties fighting game franchise that needs to be included. How about the game that really kicked America in the balls? Here's Goro's Lair from the original Mortal Kombat!

Come on, who doesn't remember the feeling of coming face-to-face with the four-armed monstrosity that is Goro for the first time? Well, that is if you weren't one of those pearl clutchers permeating Congress and the local news. Anyway, how about the music? Does is bring the goods? You all know what to do. Until next week!

Better Choice to represent MK

The fact (to my knowledge) they never put that into a game does not spark joy.

Gave it a 5.

As a fighting game boss theme song, its decent but nothing special and doesn't really stand out. Would put it in the low tier end for songs in the MK series.
