Bionic Commando (NES)

It is played during the final narrative and then it continues as the credits roll. The track keeps with the military theme, but has a much more positive sound the other tracks of the game, allowing you to appreciate your victory even more. It is included as the second half of track 6 on the official soundtrack.

In the 8-bit soundtrack liner notes, Dean Tersigni writes:

“

From the storybook introduction that calls you to action, to the hollowness and eventual resounding victory of the epilogue... this is how videogame music is supposed to sound. Bionic Commando carries on the tradition of leaving the player with a beautifully composed send-off.

„

Bionic Commando (GB)

The Game Boy port uses the same tune at the end of the game. The song has been slightly altered to work on the Game Boy's inferior audio hardware.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed (W32)

The song plays at the ending of Rearmed. It was remixed by Simon Wiklund.
