Best Video Game music!!!

[phyzik]

Whats your favorite!!!

This means in-game music.... not commercial music like Gears of War with Devotchka or Gary Jules. Straight up in-game music.

Mine? I always thought Bionic Commando was the shit, the remake only makes it more evident.

That game had some of the badest fucking ass music for an 8 bit game. :ihit

The new shit is a pretty tight remake of the origional 8-bit shit. I wouldnt be embarrased pumping "Power Plant" out of my car speakers.

You have to have a good speaker system to trully experience it.

The absolute best? For me HAS to be KUF: Kingdom Under Fire, Circle of Doom for the Xbox 360. I played that game just to hear the music.

[Spurminator]

I love Super Mario Galaxy's music. As far as old school, gotta go with the Mega Man series.

[Cry Havoc]

NES: That's tough. I want to say Zelda or Mario, but they were also the most undoubtedly iconic games, so that definitely leans me to them as far as the music goes. Truth be told, I don't really remember soundtracks this far back.

Genesis: Crappy sound.

SNES: No contest here, IMO. Chrono Trigger wins this generation, followed closely by Final Fantasy VI. Although there are a LOT of good soundtracks on this console, even with the crappy sound processing hardware they used at the time.

More as I think of them. What stood out to you guys on the original Playstation?

[lefty]

Super Hang on :tu


By the way, I played Super Hang On on an AMiga; the sound quality was MUCH better thanb on the Sega Genesis

(This video is from a Genesis I believe)

[xellos88330]

Blizzard has some epic songs to accompany their games. Especially the songs that accompany their trailers. Those songs give me goosebumps.

[MiamiHeat]

people say we are in the golden age of gaming

i disagree

1985-1995 was the golden age imo

Really nice andf jazzy rendition of it in my XBLA Tetris- Tetris Splash.

As far as contemporary games go, RDR had a kickass soundtrack.

[LnGrrrR]

It's Chrono Trigger by a mile. Heck, check out OCRemix.org, it's the game with the most remixes by far, IIRC. (Megaman 2 gets decent play, as does Mario, Link and Castlevania.)

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Red Dead Redemption had amazing music, and the song that plays when you ride into Mexico for the first time was one of my favorite moments in all the games I've played.

Pixeljunk Eden has great music as well

Of the "current" generation of games, Halo probably stands out. (Moreso the first than the last two.) Indigo Prophecy was pretty good, and I liked Dragon Age's soundtrack. Nothing too "iconic" though.

[CuckingFunt]

Duh.

I have a soft spot for the Katamari music, too.

Still Alive is a great song... I need to get that on my iPhone. That whole game was wonderful.

I've got a remix of that that is by far my favorite song to run too...

Check out ocremix.org, then look up the artist "Disco Dan" or the song "Blue Lightning".

Wow.

Aerith is probably one of the most beloved video game characters of all time. She may not have the star appeal of a Mario or Sonic, but she was probably the fascination of more prepubescent teenagers than any other supporting character, and her tragedy instantly endears her to the player.

[Cry Havoc]

but she was probably the fascination of more prepubescent teenagers than any other supporting character

I would say Tifa probably was an equal source.

Aerith was the chick every guy wanted to date, and Tifa... well... yeah. :hat

MetalMan Goes Clubbing comes to mind. There's an awesome remix of Kefka's theme from FF6 called La Locura Del Kefka, as well.

Metroid on NES then the metroid titles on GC and Wii.

[mingus]

how can nobody mentioned Zelda: Ocarina of Time? that music is awesome. i knew how to play must of that on my guitar at one point. i also happen to think it's the best game ever.

[mingus]

I think that Final Fantasy VIII's music is better than VII's.

MetalMan Goes Clubbing comes to mind. There's an awesome remix of Kefka's theme from FF6 called La Locura Del Kefka, as well.

I'll give you some composers to check out:

AmIEvil (has a bass destroying Metroid track on there, SamusStrut I believe it's called)

The Wingless (look for his StarFox 64 and Metroid track called All the Girl in One World [and companion piece All the World in One Girl])

Scott Peeples (his Goldeneye mix is peppy, moves well, and really evokes the game)

There's some other great songs out there... a Mario Samba, a jazzy Zelda, an amazing amount of Chrono Trigger tracks (New Zeal is great). Oh, and there's two great Ninja Gaiden remixes of the same track, one a guitar version and one a techno. (Devil something or other, I think.)

[LnGrrrR]

Oh, and since you like the MegaMan 3 theme music, there's a version on OCRemix.org that uses a pan flute. It's hilarious and fun to listen to at the same time.

[MavDynasty]

imo oblivion has some great music

[B-Hath]

I think that Final Fantasy VIII's music is better than VII's.

Ummm, really? I think the opening of FF VIII (Liberati Fatali) is on par some of the great FF VII music. But with Aerith's Theme, Sephiroth's Theme and the overall game theme (below). It's a complete stop down when I hear any of this.

Did you ever beat that game? What people did you have to take with you?

[Phillip]

Did you ever beat that game? What people did you have to take with you?

yeah, there are three main ways to beat it that i recall

1. you can call the meteor police, and they come and arrest the meteor

2. you can launch the meteor back to space in the rocket car

3. you can publish the meteors book and the meteor becomes a superstar

there are a lot of different ways you can go about doing them though.

you can also blow the house up.

This is one of the few games whose hype is real and most definitely lives up to all the praises.

Even the music is superb from start to finish. I think I saw this game for 7 bucks at the store. Well worth it.

Eternal Champions on Genesis was sampled by Bone, and turned out two of my favorite songs of all time. I also loved the music from the Resident Evil series.
