Genocide City

By Saskrotch on February 16, 2012 12:21 am

Written in VGM Music Maker with instruments and samples ripped from Sonic 2.

Written for a Zone that never made it into Sonic 2. Genocide City Zone (named because they wanted it to sound dangerous, but didn't grasp english too well) was a one act zone, and was supposed to be Chemical Plant Zone in the future. They finished the layout before their deadline, but not the zone palletes, so it ended up being Act 3 of Metropolis Zone. People have fleshed out Genocide City Zone (which was going to be named Cyber City, near the end of the project, but Genocide City is way cooler) in some ROM hacks, but always used pre-existing music (either the 2 Player version of Casino Night or ending music from Knuckles Chaotix), so I figured it was about time to write a song for something that never happened.
