However, another complication arises because the arcade versions of ''Salamander'' and ''Life Force [USA]'' and ''Life Force [[Japan]]'' all have different credits! Using the process of elimination, we find that all of ''Salamander's'' music was composed by [[Miki Higashino]], and ''Life Force's'' additional music was composed by [[Suzuki Kyouta]] and [[Akira Yamaoko]]. Only one track ([[Thunderbolt]]) is taken from ''Life Force'', and that's why it credits the additional composers. | However, another complication arises because the arcade versions of ''Salamander'' and ''Life Force [USA]'' and ''Life Force [[Japan]]'' all have different credits!

Life Force AKA 沙羅曼蛇 (Salamander) is a well-known scrolling shooter that borrowed heavily from Gradius (NES). It has plenty of the staple scrolling shooter elements: different weapons, option powers, missiles, and memorable bosses. The level design lends itself to being inside of a human body. Life Force isn't a direct port from the arcade, but a mash-up of Salamander (ARC) and Life Force (ARC). Most of the game comes from Salamander, but the Egyptian level is taken from Life Force.

Music
Life Force has an above average soundtrack. Though not ground breaking, the music is refined (or as refined as an NES game can get).

(Salamander (FC) Credits, Salamander (ARC) Credits)
The credits of Life Force are pretty complicated. When you beat the USA release, you get a short ending with the Konami logo, but no credits. However, when you beat the Japanese release, you're treated to some extra animation and a staff roll, entirely in English (makes you wonder why it was left out of the USA release). In the Japanese release music is credited to: Shinya Sakamoto, S. Terashima, Hidenori Maezawa, and Atsushi Fujio. Atsushi Fujio was probably the audio programmer, since he is usually credited as such in later games. The other three were arrangers of the arcade music since all of the music in Life Force is ported from the arcade games.
However, another complication arises because the arcade versions of Salamander and Life Force [USA] and Life Force Japan all have different credits! Using the process of elimination, we find that all of Salamander's music was composed by Miki Higashino, and Life Force's additional music was composed by Suzuki Kyouta and Akira Yamaoko. Only one track (Thunderbolt) is taken from Life Force, and that's why it credits the additional composers.

Ripping NES music is a very arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site.
