MIDI Week Singles: "Labyrinth/Boss Theme" - Fire 'N Ice (NES)


"Labyrinth/Boss Theme" from Fire 'n Ice* on the Nintendo Entertainment System (1993)
Composer: Ryuichi Nitta
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Tecmo
Developer: Tecmo


I have a two fold reason for picking this song for today.  The first, is because I find this boss music to a puzzle game to be to the point of what the melody is trying to get to and is not overly complicated.  The entire song only lasts 29 seconds before it begins to loop, and the theme is easily singable.  The second reason is just silly, being that A Song of Ice and Fire a la HBO's Game of Thrones is now officially over.

I saw the title for the song listed as a couple of different names, but I decided on "Labyrinth Theme" since the first boss you go up against at the end of World 1 tells you that you have to solve the labyrinth, and it is used during the final boss battle, hence the "Boss Theme" part.

That is really it.  Another case of wanting to share a song that I apparently do not have a whole lot to say about, most likely because I have never played Fire 'n Ice and therefore have nothing additional to add other than the fact that I like this song.  But if you do like this track and want to hear more from Ryuichi Nitta, go give the music from the first two Ninja Gaiden games a go.
