Games that made you choose between music or sound effects

CLXIV · 30 June 2022, 11:03

Can someone check YO! JOE!?

CLXIV · 30 June 2022, 14:04

More than I realised! Keep em coming!

I wasn't aware of the existence Zone Warrior or Forgotten Worlds. Forgotten Worlds looks pretty cool! Not highly regarded over on lemonamiga.com though (the having to choose SFX vs music probably plays some part in that...).

Cheers, added! You like your platform shooters kremiso :-D (as do I)

I did not expect the list to get this big... it's a bit depressing, yet at the same time satisfying to make this complete :-)
