Retro Music Games?

[nyka]

I've been a fan of games on the PSX like Fluid/Depth and Mario Paint's Music Maker software was a joy growing up too!


I wonder what are some other good 'music making" games on retro platforms? So like excluding pc or mobile type games...things like snes/psx/dreamcast/ps2/gameboy/whathaveyou-

What are some music games you've enjoyed working with? What makes your specific choices special? Feel free to geek out about it!

Music making stuff at games are quite a rarity these days, honestly I think I only tried Mario Paint's too.
And Animal Crossing's island theme maker stuff if that count.

OKay I completely forgot about that one, thanks for that!


And yeah I'd say the animal crossing song maker counts too. It's atleast a simple composition toy if anything :3

I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning Music 2000... Back then I bought it without a second thought, but listening to my "compositions" nowadays makes me want to throw up.
