At two and a half minutes, this could have been longer and have featured an extended synth solo and I wouldn't have been complainin', but as it stands it's a peppy, brief, sugary techno gem that definitely comes recommended, as does the game itself and most Neo-Geo games in fact (just stay away from Legend of Success Joe and the Quiz and Mah Jong games ^^). download this to generate CUE sheets for Sega CD, Sega Saturn & Neo-Geo CD games. Despite the prevalence of anime girls in the accompanying artwork, the game is not pornographic. There's some great sound FX work at 1'30" including a well-timed "Jaa, ne" vocal sample that fits in perfectly. Magical Drop III is a match-three style puzzle game. Wesley Hopper submits his first ReMix, a tasty upbeat techno MD3 piece with some nice dance piano chords, a slammin' electro-acoustic drum pattern, and a very healthy variety of synth flavors, some not so common.

Magical Drop 3 would fall into the former category, at least here in the States, as would its predecessors (games of the Bust-a-Move / Tetris variety, if you're curious, and fun ones at that). Alright! Good to see some Neo-Geo action going on! I plan on getting around to some of my favorite MVS classics some day, but in the meantime I love seeing others cover this system's sleeper hits and 2d graphics powerhouses.
