Anyone familiar with the series will know not to spare a single moment downloading these. Why? To put simply, the Ys series is remarkable for several reasons; it is one of very few early video-games to present its story through dynamic, animated “cutscenes“, and perhaps more remarkable is its original, impressive soundtrack. The background music from Ys truly raised the bar for video game music everywhere; at the time, the simple 8-bit tunes were vastly over-shadowed by the rich melodies that Ys featured.
