Check out :23 - :29 in the intro above.

via wikipedia: "Rise of the Robots is a 1994 fighting game developed by Mirage Studios and published by Time Warner Interactive. It was ported to numerous home console and computer formats, and was also released as an arcade game cabinet."

What's up with a rendered TB-303 being featured in it?

This on in via cheater:

"This is a rare version of the relatively obscure 1994 fighting game Rise of the Robots on the obscure console 3DO. The game's only redeeming quality was the cool electronic music.

The shocker is that one credited musician is Brian May (of Queen fame). But he only did the guitar riff sample used in the main menu. The techno music was credited to "Fuzzy+Logic / Clown Factory"

The original is called "The Dark":

Anyways the 3DO version shows a TB-303 and guitar (the latter probably refers to Brian May, no idea if the former should too?). Then we get some nice 303/808 tracks rolling during the intros.

The 3DO version incidentally does not have any music playing during the fighting sequences. There's also a SNES version and a Genesis version, and the latter has a much cooler soundtrack (due to FM synthesis rather than tiny samples). Here are some links:

Have a lot of fun listening. The Genesis music is pretty cool. Not as epic as Brian's original track, but it holds its own."
