 A Sega Genesis version was considered and even developed at some point, with Matt Furniss tasked as the composer.The music for "Shadow of the Beast II" and "III" was composed and produced by Tim Wright.These titles featured a more extensive soundtrack and utilised ethnic samples taken from among other sources the same Korg M1 synthesizer that was sampled by David Whittaker for the original game (although in this case, it was the rack-mounted version the Korg M1/R).
