Tell Us Dammit : And Your Favorite Game Music Is...?

[wraggster]

Time for TELL US DAMMIT.

Here's who it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn't some marketing survey or whatever. It's an emotional investment in you. Yes, we're interested in knowing you, reader person.

You probably know ****tons about us - more than you even want to, we're sure. But, hey, we'd like to know about you. That way you won't be some faceless blob - and we might feel a tinge of guilt when we ban your ass. Or not, because really we're incapable of human emotion.

Question: What's your favorite game music?

MGS1 had and still has the greatest soundtrack in gaming imo

[HtheB]

MGS4. Like MGS1 but better.

[jaws365]

So many good soundtracks, I can't decide which one is thee best. Although, Golden Sun 1&2 by Motoi Sakuraba scores pretty friggin high.

Other favourites are:

Zelda 3
Shatterland
Last Ninja 1&2
Raiden
F-Zero series
Turrican 2
Lotus 3
Castlevania series
etc.

[Keitaro Urashima]

Vampire Killer (Castlevania)

[malgora]

pft black mages doing the ff music
...
and metroid metal doing metroid songs.. simple ..

[bumfacekilla]

Too many to choose a single favourite, but here is a short list.

Xenogears
Chrono Trigger
Gunstar Heroes
Wiz n' Liz
Street Fighter II
Jet Grind Radio
Turrican II
Agony
Actraiser
Wanderers from Y's III
F-Zero/F-Zero X
Silent Hill Series

There are too many to mention really, but these are some that really stick in my memory!

[jaws365]

Streefighter 2, I forgot that one. SNES version for my sake!

[kmcmatt]

Blaster Master for the NES. Now that was a great soundtrack.

[paul3100]

Project X on the amiga the opening tune

Nobuo Uematsu AKA "God of video game music"

[quzar]

Actual in-game music: Shenmue and Katamari Damacy
OST Music: Chrono Trigger and Shenmue (Symphonic)

[Auriman1]

I rather enjoy most game music written by Koji Kondo or Nobuo Uematsu, which covers quite a few bases (Zelda games, Mario games, Final Fantasy 1-10, Chrono Trigger/Cross, etc.).

Some other soundtracks I enjoy are the Okami, Metroid Prime, Jet Set Radio, Katamari Damacy, and Banjo-Kazooie soundtracks, as well as music from the Command & Conquer series (especially Red Alert 3).

[jamotto]

Best single game Castlevania 3.

The composer The Fat Man often turned out tracks that where golden.

[goshogun1]

Breath Of Fire V: Dragon Quarter. Probably the greatest OST ever!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-3UTHtBxsQ

Second, I would choose Shadow Of The Colossus. I listen to the OST all the time as
a custom soundtrack on the 360. Fits so many moments.

[jman420]

The absolute best music on a video game ever without a doubt, was the tunes from "Y's, The vannished omens" released in 1988 for SMS, TGCD, and MSX (and in japan, for NES)

[Voorhees]

There is a lot of good game music. I'll try to write down some of the best according to me.

Sonic 2 [Boss Theme]
Hitman series
Golden sun series
Final fantasy series [especially FF7]
Doom 1 [almost every song]
Megaman [mostly the boss themes]

Sorry but i can't remember anymore right now.
But game music is really good sometimes.

PEACE

[BlacknBlue13]

Super Mario Brothers always brings me back. And though I own a ps3 I have to say the Halo 3's classical rock is very nice.

[Spanishpeacock]

Resident Evil. The music made the game that much more creepy, and the moonlight sonata is still a song that I'll listen to any day.

Did you ever release a demo of your S H game jman?
It's like the zombie game project that won't die or get up.

[mike_jmg]

Megaman X

[brandonheat8]

first i'd start with sonic 1, 2, 3, knuckles, adventure 1, and adventure 2. the megaman games all of then had great music especially 8. MGS series had one of the most influencial soundtracks on my life. sword of the Berserk- song~forces 2, among others. Blue Stinger for dreamcast had a masterpiece OST. The Soul Series, all of them. Finally killer instinct one and two, and miscellenous snes games like super adventure island, and wolverine adamantium rage.

[PsychoSk8r]

The Sega Megadrive Sonic the Hedgehog series. Most amazing soundtracks ever.

[aquafina]

[El Stefio]

A bit far from the mainstream compared to most other suggestions here, but my personal fave has to be the title music from Logistix, a PD game on the good ol' Amstrad CPC. Look it up peeps - quality tune and an excellent game (which wouldn't be out of place on some more modern platforms - hint hint coder types).

Honourable mention goes to the entire Wipeout series.

[aquafina]

ooooooooh i almost forgot

[gumgod]

I can never pick anything when you ask "what's your favorite ___________ ?" so I'm just going to list the ones I really really like...

Quake soundtrack

Diablo music (the first one has some creepy tracks that I could never get tired of).

Legend of Mana soundtrack

Final Fantasy music (no one soundtrack stands out but certian songs from each stand out in my head like the entro to FF8 and Three winged angel from 7).

Oh and of course I love Metroid Metal but I'm not sure that counts since it's a re-make of the original music. Black Mages were also already mentioned but i have to second them they rock.

[apex05]

Hover bovver on the C64

[Blue Protoman]

Anything from:

-F-Zero series
-MOTHER series
-Super Smash Bros. Brawl
-Jet Grind Radio

[juiceface]

megaman 3 , NES

[noname1]

Starfox or Tyrian.
Also the music from Ratchet & clank is great!

[jaws365]

I made this Street Fighter 2 coversong with PSP Rhythm 7, just because I dig the music so much. Ken Stage:
