Ridley's Theme from Metroid

Duuuuuude awsome thread.

DKC- Aquatic Ambience
TLOZ- Zeldas Lullaby
TMNT4- Neon Night Riders

I just have to pick these three as there would otherwise be too many. I do love me some chrono trigger music though!

Koschei · 02-22-2010, 09:48 PM

hhhhmmmm.
I would have to say I like the oldies

Legend of Zelda-Dungeon Theme and Opening
Castlevania- Opening theme(pretty much all of the music through out the game)

Will also throw in FF10-Fight Song

A lot of the 8-bit and 16-bit themes get stuck in my head all the time, as well as some fighting game themes. Probably the ones most often repeating are the music from the Streets of Rage series (mostly 2, but sometimes others), the classic Tetris GB theme (the one based on the Russian folk song, the name of which escapes me), and yes, a lot of Crush40 songs. Contrary to Turo, Sonic Heroes is actually the only one I don't like >.<

Dude same here, and I did also forget to mention Streets of Rage 2 music. The old games always have the best music, those are the classics, like the opening of the first Zelda.

Dire Dire, Docks from Super Mario 64 comes to mind.

I love threads like this. There is so much content to enjoy out there that you get exposed to new ones every time. I hear a lot that there is no appreciation for classical instrumental music anymore, but video games and its fans are a testament to that this couldn't be more wrong. Let's see if I can do this without tapping into Final Fantasy's massive library.

Wild Arms is a massively underrated game when it comes to soundtracks. Its sound is very distinct and really beautiful. Especially the calm tunes give you a grand sense of adventure and exploration that few other games are able to match.
Overworld
The intro theme
Town
Port
Battle

My most played game tracks on my ipod (that aren't from the main FF series):
(PS1) Wild Arms2 - Overworld mix One of the best ever!
(PS2) Curse of Darkness - Garibaldi courtyard
(SNES) Wild Guns - Desolation canyon
(PS2) Okami - Time of parting
(SNES) Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - Boss music
(PS1) Chrono Cross - Scars of time (another example of a perfect OST, highly recommended)
(SNES) Actraiser - Filmore
(PS1) Grandia 2 - Battle
(PS1) Legend of Mana - Title
(PS2) Wild Arms 5 - One Day You'll Forget the Hopes and Dreams
(SNES) Terranigma - Underworld
(SNES) Terranigma - Overworld
(PS2) Kingdom Hearts- Traverse town
(PS2) Dragon Quest VIII - Overture

pokemon has some of the best tunes IMO:

Music from Super Metroid and Metroid Prime is awesome. I also have the music in actual piano-human played versions, not just the music from the game while you play. I must say that the piano played versions are truly spectacular to listen to. I wish I could upload them here so you could hear them.

*Samhain* · 02-26-2010, 05:55 PM

Yeah Metroid is awesome. Used to scare me though.

*Cure* · 02-27-2010, 08:33 PM

The soundtrack to Sonic Rush is pretty mind blowing, this track especially.

*The Stryker* · 02-27-2010, 08:43 PM

Say what you want about Sonic games. They always had awesome music.

Can't disagree with you on that one.

**Krang** · 02-28-2010, 03:10 AM

While we're on the subject of Sonic music...

*Krutch* · 02-28-2010, 03:19 AM

Silent Hill 2 had the BEST game soundtrack of all time, hands down. Not an opinion, but a FACT

Vivi · 02-28-2010, 05:40 AM

Maniac Mansion
Windwaker/Zelda in general
and ever since I saw the redubbed parody of TMNT (4) -- Zool.
Silent Hill - most def creepy as hell.

*Zachatello00* · 02-28-2010, 11:30 AM

Among the scores and scores of scores (phew) one that stands out in my mind is the music that plays while Donkey Kong fights King K Rool in DK Country.

Man, always loved FBZ. When I was knee-high, I used to imagine my own lyrics to that tune. Thankfully I've forgotten them.
