F-15 Strike Eagle II (Mega Drive), 1993
Matt Furniss, Shaun Hollingworth

This screamingly awesome title theme had somehow flown under my radar (har har). I hate to parasitize other people Doing What I Do like this, but when I heard this on Pixelated Audio, I just had to post it!

This has to be among Mr. Furniss\u2019s best work as far as I\u2019m concerned. I immediately recognized the lead and especially the bass as being \u201cfrom\u201d Alien 3, but I do not know when these instruments were actually created. It does sound as though they might have been tweaked a little for F-15 Strike Eagle II, but I\u2019d know that bass anywhere. The two games are fairly compositionally similar, and separated by only a year, so I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Mr. Furniss worked on both sequentially or simultaneously.

Someone has to say it: you get Matt Furniss on your show, you get him talking about Mad Professor Mariarti, but you don\u2019t ask him about \u201chello hacker fucker\u201d? I\u2019m not angry, I\u2019m just disappointed.
