It's Sega vs Nintendo as the music of Mickey's Castle Of Illusion goes up against Super Mario Kart. These two games were mainstays in my household during the early 90's and Castle Of Illusion is one of the few games I have actually completed. The rising popularity of 8-bit music has put the soundtracks from these retro games into the spotlight and there is even new music being produced in this style. It is quite strange to listen to these tracks without actually playing the game, but it allows you to appreciate how important a good soundtrack is to the gaming experience. This is one for the fans only.
