It's no secret that I hold Blaster Master in high regard. It's got it all - perfect controls, great level design, good graphics, and, of course, awesome music. I'd go so far as to say that it rivals Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 in terms of music quality in a 3rd-party NES game. It's that good!


Today, we're showcasing the music from Area 3. While most seem to prefer Area 1 (I'd chalk that up to the fact that they couldn't make it past the first area), I always thought that Area 3 had the better music. Quite a few of my friends agree as well. There's just something about it that always makes me happy inside...
