Friday Five - Darius

[gordon_r_d]

A good shoot 'em up game will always get my attention if it has an awesome theme tune on its first stage, the Darius series has almost constantly done that (I'm not a fan of G-Darius' one, but luckily the next one, Darius Burst was amazing) and this week's Friday Five is the opening level tghemes for the five main Darius games, which also show how videogame sound technology evolved over the years.
