I like Streets of rage 2 & 3 to be honest, I mean listen to the banging techno from 92-93

[h=3]Soundtrack
[/h] The game’s hardcore soundtrack featured influences from Detroit’s hard techno scene (Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, etc.), who were popular in Tokyo dance clubs at the time. It used a random note generator programmed in C++ by Yuzo Koshiro and featured more robotic, hard-driven lines.
For the soundtrack to Streets of Rage 3, Koshiro created a new composition method called the “Automated Composing System” to produce “fast-beat techno like jungle.”It was the most advanced techno technique of the time, incorporating heavily randomized sequences. This resulted in innovative and experimental sounds generated automatically that, according to Koshiro, “you ordinarily never could imagine on your own.” This method was very rare at the time, but has since become popular among techno and trance music producers to get “unexpected and odd sounds.” The soundtrack also had elements of abstract, experimental, gabber, and trance music. As with Streets of Rage 2, the soundtrack features tracks composed by both Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima.
The game’s experimental, abrasive noise-based, electronic music received a mixed reception upon release, but has since been considered to be ahead of its time. According to Mean Machines, the “music takes some getting used to – ironically it pre-dated the ‘trance’ era that came a short while after release.” The experimental sounds and use of heavily randomized sequences are also considered ahead of its time.
