What gives? Why does such an allegedly shitty game have such a pretty good music?

    One foot in front of the other, every day.
    NES-era games could only support three tones (or the equivalent of one chord) at a time. So music was restricted enough that there needed to be a strong melody with half-assed harmonic support.

    Kinda like metal. Heaps of NES and SNES music makes awesome metal because limitations of the hardware lend themselves well to the harmony in heavy metal, which is usually based on fifths.

    ^^^ The NES only supports 3 tones, but it's possible to work around that. For instance, the baseline and drums in Level 1's music are jammed into a single waveform. It's the trademark of the Follin brothers - you should hear the shit they did on the ZX Spectrum, which only had a 1-bit clicker for sound.

    And it's not a shitty game. Just hard. Really, really, *really* hard.
