Duke nukem and grand theft auto vice city
,
check out this page i has loads of game music to listen to
http://www.dra-mata.com/misc/brawl/
FF7 score
amazing.
second
-
final fantasy 6 though
and the opera bit.
thirded
Sensible Soccer
1996 Euro Championship edition
Pro Evo 5 – When you win the Konami Cup
Final Fantasy VII – Inside the Shinra Building
Castlevania Dracula X – Last boss theme
Sonic 2 – Casino Night Zone
SecI used to think Secret of Mana
pissed on all other game soundtracks from a great height. But the Final Fantasy series are equally as good (5 to 7).
Road Rash
Sonic The Hedgehog
Mario Bros.
Everything Sega and Nintendo have done, basically.
Theme tune to Cannon Fodder
back in the day...
this ^
cannon fodder theme is brillaint
this is pretty cool
http://youtube.com/watch?v=F7XiXQ6wEyM
theres even a music video with tanks
zelda
anyone who says otherwise has a frankfurter for a penis.
Freedom Fighters / FF7
I have a frankfurter for a penis and I'm proud!
what happened to diodave
diodave?
Oh him
He died.
It was a boring username*
Yeah
Ocarina of Time, Good orchestration and bad ass game. Plus classic Zelda, song sticks in my head.
I agree
but i have a frankfurter for a penis anyway. What's wrong with me?
If memory serves...
the music for Streets Of Rage 3 on the Megadrive was fucking amazing! Especially the final two levels.
Better than a cocktail sausage
I have a promo of the soundtracks for the Zelda games. Sadly, it doesn't include the music from Twilight Princess, which was incredible.
this.
Lylat Wars 64 soundtrack is pretty good too.
this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiYuq6Ac3a0
Either,
Toejam & Earl or Streets of Rage for me.
my personal favourites
speedball II
Xenon II
Turrican II
Nitro
Stardust
^Turrican 2!
Get in! And Hiphop on Precinct 13 from Xenon 2 is pretty sweet as well. It's all been downhill since the Amiga!
I'll go now.
Not strictly
music from a video game but YMCK are the greatest 8-bit band on the planet.
I still love
the music for Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap!
Otherwise, Zelda, Mario; I don't know if it's just one person, but Nintendo have churned out some great music over the years. I had the Miller's Theme as my ringtone for a while. Happy days indeed...
wonderboy 3 music is ace
im gonna rip it off
didnt trent reznor
do quake 2 soundtrack? pretty sure he did
back on the topic my vote goes for streets of rage, or revenge of shinobi on megadrive
Sir, may i point you towards
Megadriver - SWORD, SHURIKINS & FISTS
http://www.megadriver.com.br/sitev2.html
Free download. Great stuff.
I thought it was the original quake
I didn;t have it though..you needed the cd version..i only downloaded it
Shenmue 1 and 2
Jet Set Radio/JSRF
Space Channel 5
Streets of Rage
Sonic 3 (some of the music was created by Michael Jackson)
and of course....
OUTRUN!
The music
for both Shenmue games was great... I think I collected all the cassettes too :D
WINNAR :D
I had all the tapes but I never managed to get that feckin boombox from the raffles. Just had to use Tom's whenever I was passing the hotdog stand.
Did you win both Sega Saturn discs? I did.
Good Times.
Super Mario Galaxy
Legend of Zelda games
FF7
Shadow of the Colossus
Streets of Rage..
shadow of the collossus?
the 'rave tunnel' music from killer7
zeldarr has some pretty memorable stuff, esp. links awakening for me.
super mario galaxy
Golden Axe
Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Super Mario Bros Ghost House Levels
STREETS
.
OF
.
RAGE
.
II
.
BUMS
.
....WILL MOVE TO THIS
http://gamemusic.emugaming.com/music/Megadrive/Streets%20of%20Rage%202/Slow%20Moon.MP3
Fifa Street!
because the music is just. so. funny.
Civilization IV
Just for Christopher Tin's composition 'Baba Yetu', which is ace.
To the person who mentioned Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap
I'm really pleased someone else remembers that game.
As for best music: Final Fantasy 8 or 9 (hell any of the soundtracks from FF6 to FF9)
It was great wasn't it!
I saw it once in Gamestation for £9.99 and thought "ten quid? for a master system game? i don't think so!", but have regretted it ever since.
Definitely
One of the best Master System games ever.
Rob Hubbard
did all the best stuff in the old days, Nemesis the Warlock in C64 e.g.
he is a moustachioed god!!!!
Knuckbuster is 13 mins of 3 channel prog madness!!!
(.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45W1YfAtwEQ
so many memories...sniff
cheers for the link - sweet!
Indeed...
Rob Hubbard, Tim Follin, Martin Galway etc were the best back in the day.
More recently, the end theme from Portal is great.
shadow of tthe colossus
hands down. ico and metal gear solid also good.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1/2/3
I listened to them again about a year ago, these songs are basically the soundtrack of my childhood, unbeatable!
For original music created for a videogame
I would go with Rome: Total War, its amazing!
red alert!
used to love some of the tunes on the old streets of rage on the mega drive too. classic stuff.
shadow of the beast
made the hairs on back of my neck stand up...at the time i should stress.
Another...
vote here for FFVII. If only for 'One Winged Angel'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn71hIsm0U8
Let it kick in around 2 minutes.
guitar solo!!!!!
when you died !
Secret of Mana
gets my vote. Still haunting, even in 8-bit grainy mp3 rips from the original audio.
Tony Hawk's
Purely for Superman by Goldfinger...brings a nostalgic tear to the eye to this day when I hear it.
Rock n Roll Racing
paranoid
born to be wild
sum classic rock
ZERO WING
Not only did this game give us some of the greatest engrish ever (All your base are belong to us) but it gave us one of the best soundtracks ever! It's like The Fucking Champs done on a Mega Drive sound chip, it's so A+ that I've uploaded it:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/hjgg1h
tetris music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR8aoW61AcM
final fantasy 7
C&C:Red Alert
including everyones favourite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_wJoQvDhu4&feature=related
Rob Hubbard was indeed a don!
But I like the Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andreas soundtracks. Saints Row is pretty cool as well, got meinto old 80's Hairmetal bands like Slaughter and Bang Tango. There is a cool hip hop track from Bathgate called Everythings A Go which i am having a mare tracking down.
Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive
Green Hill Zone.
go fo the goal
pro evolution 2008 ...its hilariously bad
all the songs are about scoring goals
