He wrote his own audio drivers for this game, his sister did the artwork for the characters. Massive respect to that family.

It was a HUGE game when it came out, it did not just become a cult classic. It topped all sales charts for months in the US, Europe and Worldwide. Many vote it the best Genesis/Megadrive game of all time. People still love it today because of how good it was and the music back in the day.

Yuzo is the reason I became a composer at all, but you are the only person to cover anything of his like this. Thank you. This whole game is one of the reasons I ever wanted to be a video game composer or make music. Your video is so appreciated. Thank you for covering Yuzo Koshiro. :D

Yuzo had NO BUISNESS going this hard on a Sega Genesis game in 1992! This dude made legit club bangers.
This game was the soundtrack of my childhood in the early 90s. Like if you want to know how the early 90s sounded and felt, listen to this OST.

I have been obsessed with this game's soundtrack my ENTIRE EFFING LIFE.

It makes me so happy whenever I see someone recognize the glory.

31 years later...this soundtrack still slaps. It is truly a masterpiece.

[DarkScorpion]

"Guys, I just discovered this!". Thanks for making me feel old.

You know a videogame OST is brutal when you can perform an entire concert with it

[ricardobezerra]

SoR1 was HUGE here in Brazil, then came SoR2 and every boy from every rental game station at every city played it to the exhaustion. A masterpiece

[dahlt]

Glad to see people discovering this 32 years later. Streets of Rage is and always has been the greatest OST since its release.

Yuzo Koshiro showed the world what the Sega Sound Chip could do, and this was one of those games that was absolute perfection all around.

I my head I was inserting the yelling sounds

[merlnelson]

One of my all time favorites. I'm 40 and still play this game once a year

[bananonymouslastname]

Yuzo Koshiro has been crushing soundtracks for like 40 years. Legacy of the Wizard, ActRaiser, Streets of Rage, Ys, Revenge of Shinobi... he's still going strong.

[BunnychanFarabee]

It's so adorable seeing newer generations discover classic house and techno for the first time. Yuzo Koshiro was an apt student of the early Chicago and Detroit underground dance scenes, and conveyed that energy perfectly in the SoR soundtracks.

[Zman]

This game deserves to be called the masterpiece of all belt scroll action games because it was perfect in every way, graphics, fun, and even the music was fantastic.

[onecentman]

It's awesome seeing someone discover and appreciate this soundtrack that I've enjoyed for nearly 30 years

[foamige]

Man I hope Yuzo Koshiro sees this video and remembers fond memories composing this score. What a genius this guy is.

[davidkreacts]

It’s music like this - particularly early video game music, in my opinion - that lends such weight to the phrase “limitation breeds creativity.” What early VG composers did with such tight restrictions never ceases to amaze me.

[MrOharaj]

Just found? :) god damn we've all been listening to this since 1992!
