Some of the tracks are very cool and the introductory organ music is quite epic and memorable too!
Fortunately, the Sega Saturn featured CD Redbook Audio music, and the tracks are bare-bones 44khz/16bit CD quality!
Despite being identical in terms of music, the Arcade version had way lower audio quality output while the Saturn version features a fully mastered sound.
Also, the same quality is found in the Windows PC version which is pretty much a port of the Saturn version.
Not much to say about this release; I simply removed a (maybe) noticeable click/pop in the famous "Stage Clear" theme, and added a slight reverb effect to the end of the last track which had a slightly abrupt ending.
Otherwise, I added just 0.1 seconds of silence in the beginning so the tracks don’t start immediately but have a more "official release" vibe to them. Enjoy! 🙂

This and HOTD 2 were my childhood, the music especially was fantastic. I really love the Magician’s theme though.
Though for some odd reason I can never find the second one’s ost.
Arg, crap. Thanks anyway.
Any chance to "identify" each track from the stages?
