1. Type A (Tetris)

3. Ocarina's melody (LoZ: Ocarina)

Mmm
ROAD RASH.
Zelda games in particular
tend to have quite memorable themes.
Other than that Red Alert is one that stands out.
It sounds like Dust Brothers that does.
The CD came with the Music on it to be played in a CD player if I remember correctly.
Hell March!
I still want a band to use that as intro music!
oh god, Red Alert :D :D
I miss those cut scenes.

Streets of Rage 2
Forget the composer's name right now. But it's ace.
Yuzo Koshiro?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuzo_Koshiro <3
Revenge of Shinobi, Streets of Rage AND Sonic! :D
Nice one
Will have to fire up Xbox Live Arcade later.
Ohh - an honourable mention for Chuck Rock as well! Unga Bunga...
And the Cannon Fodder theme tune
I'll stop spamming now
...
I thought Yuji Naka did all the Sonic games.
wikipedia says he was the lead programmer
and Yuzo Koshiro was the composer.
Wonder who did the music for later sonic games...
you'd better believe it:
http://soronline.classicgaming.gamespy.com/sor2_soundtrack.htm
and used on amazon for £35
me and a friend were planning on doing an acoustic album
of all the levels from sonic 2. Sort of gypsy jazz feel. We "interpretted" green hill zone, marble zone, metropolis zone, and something from the two player section.
Should we do it?
No.
Gypsy jazz? Acoustic? Sounds like aids.
Getting massive amps, loads of distortion pedals and downtuned guitars, and a rabid drummer. Much better and less lame.
The Advantage
Genius.
Great band.
I have massive amps and drums etc
but sometimes you would rather have a nice bowl of ice cream than insert a freezer up your backside.
But what if the ice cream doesn't taste of anything?
It wont taste of anything
if you have just been drinking tonnes of cheap wine and chomping down on pepperarmi, but if you've just come in form the fresh mountain air you would be far more appreciative if you drift my catch.
I'm confused now. :(
Do you work in advertising?
No
I work indoors.
Doom 2.
Carmageddon 1 & 2. (The first is an instrumental Fear Factory album!)
Dungeon Keeper 1.
My fave Doom music
is from the first level of the shareware version!
is that the one that sounds
quite alot like metallica master of puppets? the only riff ever to be designed specifically for people with only one arm and one finger to play
<3
There's some really cool sounds on 'Dead Simple' from Doom 2, which sounds like a stylophone in overdrive!
I think they get alot of stick
But I bloody love the music from the final fantasy games.
why on earth would they get alot of stick?
any fool and his dog knows they are great!
I love you for posting that link
<3
skate or die
Rob Hubbard!!!!!!!!!!
shadow of the beast
very moody
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qipWqOwkceg
secret of mana
:) I love that one I downloaded it a while back and even put some of the tunes in a mix with NiN tracks and alsorts
I tried this thread week ago and it sank like a rock
I hope this one doesn't cause I love video game music.
Star Fox 64
Zelda: Link To The Past, well all the Zelda
I adore the "sound" of Resident Evil (the gamecube remake, which I now play on Wii)
But TheWildSon has zeroed in on sum specifics- wish I had time for that.
*weeks (plural)
.
you can add shining force 2 to the list
...
The tunes to Dynamite Headdy are well classic. I can still hum them now, 14-odd years on.
Streets Of Rage II
on MegaDrive is my all time favourite
...
Ah, memories. That game taught me that rave music always = violence.
final fantasy 7 cant be beaten i think
cosmo canyon
1 winged angel
jenova
shinra theme
tifa theme
theyre all up there with the best
Yep
It's amazing, it's the music I use for long car journeys. Makes it seem like an adventure.
Lol
Awesome! I love most of the Final Fantasy stuff (particularly VII, VIII and X) and the Silent Hill stuff is atmospheric, great in the dark..
Wonder Boy!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=J323JguGX9s - this is one of my favourites.
I loved that game
The king of Megadrive sound tracks
are
Streets of Rage
Sonic 2&3
Outrun
Lemmings.
That is all.
Sonic 2 I remember as being quite 90s
and Lemmings on an old windows pc with a dodgy early soundblaster thing!
fairy theme
from zelda ocarina of time.
SWOS
I'M A GOALSCORING SUPERSTAR HEEEROOO!!!!
Are modern games aloud?
the score for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is absolutly amazing.
Harry Gregson-Williams is my hero.
NARCTRAX
Duo from Tokyo who have done a bunch of remixes (including one on HEALTH - DISCO) and are absolutely incredible sounding, fit perfectly into this thread. There's a bunch of remixes available to download on their myspace, and some original material too. I implore you to check them out. Hopefully they'll release something and not just fade into obscurity, because this shit is awesome awesome awesome!

All the music from megaman
it's quintessential videogame music
megaman 2 is best if I remember
fuck yeah:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OrUBqzRwX7k&feature=related
I like Nobuo Uematsu's
soundtracks for the Final Fantasy series - especially those for FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX.
i like
the epic metal gear solid music
ESSENTIAL videogame song
http://www.selectstartband.com/media/Green_Hill_Zone_Marble_Zone.mp3
<3
RAYMAN
Raymanraymanrayman.
The original, 2D one of course.
And I still love the Pokémon Red/Blue tunes, although that may be a nostalgia thing.
Golden Axe
The music when you complete Golden Axe on the master system is probably the finest 8-bit song of all time.
It sounds so much like an Of Montreal song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHWH6QVzWAY
it starts about 1:30 into the video :D
anamanaguchi
is a pretty cool 8bit band while were on that topic, check out helix nebula its amazing
www.myspace.com/anamanaguchi
Didnt
Trent Reznor do I soundtrack for the video game 'Doom'?
I think he
only did the first Quake?
that's right...
Hummm
In terms of having a big budget and resources, Id say something like the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack, or the sheer plethora of lovely musicks you get in Shenmue.
Resident Evil 4s soundtrack, at least in terms of in-game music is rather great too. It complements the game-play really well.
I also really like the theme music from Metal Slug X. It has this crazy industrial middle-eastern thing going on.
Pilotwings on the SNES had a really memorable theme too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7QZ99B4M98
Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack is damn good
Especially the main theme. In fact, most of the Final Fantasy soundtracks are awesome. Nobuo Uematsu might just be God in disguise.
the best / worst thing ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaccQEgDEl4
There's...
Some fantastic use of the intro music to Platoon on the C64 by Diplo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXfkev09fHA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faf0wdMHiTA
What about
Xenon 2 (Bomb the bass did that)
Speedball 2 (Ice cream...)
Tomb Raider, when that choir start singing
WipEout 2097
Shadow of the Colossus
ummm
nobuo uematsu, and just general final fantasy scores
then konami scores
oh yeah and the music in shadow of collosus
props for
Wipeout 2097 - pyyyaar class soundtrack.
I would offer honourable mentions for Deus Ex's Tangerine Dream/Deathprod style ambience, the song sung to you by the computer upon clocking Portal and all of the music in half life 2, though particularly the George A. Romero evoking score for Ravensholme
Comix Zone
you got a free CD of shite metal versions of tunes from the game with that.
i had comix zone
it was the best, i still have the CD
MEGA BONUS POINTS
if you can name the guy's rat!
Secret of Mana
Still tops for me. Hiroki Kikuta FTW!
Roadkill!
you win a partially broken
six button megadrive controller!
shame I sold my Mega Drive then
wish I hadn't, reading this thread.
There's a Brazillian metal band
That cover Megadrive soundtracks.
If i recall, the sonic green hill zone one is pretty amazing.
http://www.megadriver.com.br/sitev2.html
google "Fantomas Video Game Music Covers"
I downloaded some years ago and they are absolute gems.
The Liverpool band
1UP do videogame covers and they're absolutely bloody fantastic. It's like a trip down memory lane every time they play live
I'll second The Advantage
mainly because they need mentioning again.
