Rage Against the Machine’s Killing in the Name, Played On The SEGA Mega Drive

November 20, 2023 By ausretrogamer

We have belted out RATM’s ‘Killing in the Name’ countless times over decades since it was released some 30 years ago (1993), and even now, it still stirs up the existential rage inside of us!

Before we get too deep into the meaning of the song, let’s take a step back and enjoy this timeless classic being played on Sega’s 16-bit awesome Mega Drive / Genesis console, courtesy of fxsnowy! Ah, that unmistakable sound of the Mega Drive’s Yamaha YM2612 six-channel FM synthesizer chip is music to our ears!

Turn it up peeps!

PS: Imagine this tune being played on the C64’s SID chip….. We can dream 😉
