Video Game Music Thread

[愛]

So I was playing some Maniac Mansion today to prepare for my Let's Play of the game, and I realized that the soundtrack is f*cking BOSS. So let's have a music sharing thread! I'll start!

That's a pretty epic track, not played Maniac Mansion... I should get more games for my NES

I love this song

Undeniably one of the greatest tunes in the history of the NES. Always makes me wanna do some wall-jumps and get knocked into holes by asshole birds every time I hear it.

[Ninjinister]

I was always partial to this one as well. But then again, boss themes might be cheating a bit... there are a LOT of great boss themes.

The reason I started listening to VGMs in the first place. It's so DAMN catchy!

An underrated song from an underrated game.

Sunsoft death music made you want to suicide in-game just to hear the song. Awesome stuff.

I'm not a huge fan of the series...but my wife is and every time she mentions it, I get this stuck in my head.

Castlevania has such a strong soundtrack throughout its games that it's actually a little mind-blowing when you think about how many of them are f*cking brilliant.

[Jester]

I know...I debated putting Simon's Theme up as well.
EDIT: Ah, what the heck!

So true, except for what plays when the torch starts to burn out.

Anyway...

I've always liked Halo's music, to be honest.

My God, I haven't seen a Shatterhand mention outside of articles in years. I definitely had some good times with that back in the day... I wonder if it holds up.

Also: A lot of MK music is memorable, for the best reasons possible. Dan Forden is damn good at his job.

Have you ever seen the official music video for this song? She washes dishes for the full length of the song. She even leaves the kitchen to go get something, then comes back.

Really weird...

You're welcome.

You're such a homo gay.

The Scott Pilgrim game had a ton of great music.

[XERO]

Totally. It made me a fan of Anamanaguchi.

But, my all time favorite theme from that game is this one, hands down. Getting your ass kicked by spikes and traps while going through the level hearing this awesome theme in reverb, only to open the door to the Katayanagi Twins, and finding out it was them all along playing that badass song on their souped up keyboards.

I was going to post Windy and Co. from Conker, but Ben already has it covered. Easily the most hummable song in the history of video games. I left it on loop for thirty minutes once and never got tired of it.

Pretty much everything from this game. It wasn't an amazing play, but the music was awesome, and it was pretty heavy on story (in a good way).

[Samhain]

One of my favorites. Just makes it feel so epic at the end.

And my favorite Pokemon theme of all time.

I'm a huge fan of Castlevania and the music each game has. Out of all the songs in the series, this one stick out the most for me.

Wow...and I thought that Ludacris game rap was awful.

So, some awesome game music. Here's something more recent and f*cking mind-blowing. Sometimes I just turn this game on and turn up my surround sound bass so that this shakes the windows in my place...then I do the dishes.

That is catchy as hell.

Speaking of Main Menu themes...

There hasn't been a time where I played this game and almost haven't fallen asleep to this tune.

This is one of my favorites. Mega Man 7; Slash Man stage.

I find a lot of the music from Final Fantasy X to be so beautiful. Here are some of my favorite pieces:

The Final Fantasy series does tend to have some rather nice tunes. I've got a copy of the Final Fantasy X soundtrack that I imported from Japan some years ago.

[AT-Man]

I've been listening to Demon's and Dark Souls OSTs quite a lot lately. I don't think I've ever heard a (final) boss theme as expectional as in Dark Souls, and also as awesome:

Hopefully it's cool that I'm bumping this, tried to find the most 'current' one, but maybe I didn't.

Anyway, this came on while itunes was on shuffle, & I am reminded just how much I love this piece of music-
wr2TpvjZ1Sg

This game gets a lot of flack but I think a lot of the OST is stellar. Some really good stuff in there. Gotta love David Wise.

[Turo602]

Super Mario Bros. 3 hands down had some of the best music in the series. This one gets me nostalgic every time.

What this thread needs is a bit of C64 music, because most of you wouldn't know a SID chip if if slapped you in the face ;)

Mayhem dawg you wanna talk C64? A'ight I never played or had one (Vic 20 instead) but I've got the Boulder Dash Collection on OUYA and I've come to love this.

I'll contribute with two tracks I doubt many of you know but are amazing.

From Galaxy Wars Galaxies
PL37541822342B7F88

This song is amazing and reminds me a lot of the Metroid theme; not because they're similar songs but because I get the same eerie mood that I did with the original game intro back in the NES and made your imagination go wild, it truly was a great new Retro game since it understood what made those games awesome back in the day.


From Astro Boy: Omega Factor
NYQwlVB6Z-o
Now how can a track called "Dialog 1" be so good. Its used in the intro when we read about Astro Boys origin which is rather tragic. The actual game is awesome since it was developed by Treasure and this game is as good as any other Treasure developed game. The story is awesome since its a mix of all of Tezuka's creations and not just Astro boy which is the equivalent of a Disney or Nintendo cross-over game if you know your classic manga/anime, hell I only knew about half the characters and still had a blast, Tezuka really was Japan's Walt Disney. Anywho this track became a favorite of mine when you get to the end of the game and I'll spoiler it if anyone ever wants to play through the gameYou reach the end of your Adventure only to realize you messed up and while you defeated the "bad" guy, this "robot" entity which is there to protect destroys the world, you're rescued by another diety character and allowed to go back in time to fix the problem by not allowing the entity to be awaken. But anywho that comes out of nowhere and that is when the track plays again after the world is destroyed and you are left for dead

[ProactiveMan]

I've been playing Super Mario 3D World for the past couple of weeks and I can't get this track out of my head.

So classy.

I was very happy to find this; I played the hell out of the PC version of this game and even chatted (via email) with three individuals that worked for Ravensoft, one of those individuals being the actual music composer / sound effects creator for the game.

PS1, N64, and I want to also say Sega Saturn, had their versions of this game.
