Now I am one heck of a fan of video game music. Whenever I find what I want, I download it right away. I have a massive collection of Game music burned to CD, with my fave being my Skies of Arcadia collection, which I managed to download before the site was shut down by the FBI pending copyright investigation. :D

I can't show you my decent music because I have no one to host it, however I can give you a midi edition of my fave SoA track.

Trust me, the real deal sounds a hell of a lot better. Who else loves game music, and can you provide examples? I seek to increase the size of my collection, and learn of your faveroutes.

Heh - I found the animaniacs theme tune.

Favorite? That would have to be Mega Man 2's soundtrack. Great all over, except for Wily Stage 2.

One Winged Angel makes nice for a documentary project on Nazi Germany :D

Star Ocean 2. Hands down.

One old NES game that I think was majorly overlooked was Blaster Master. Great game, great music.

Blaster Master... How I loved that game. The music was great!

Pfff, that's just licensed music. We mean REAL video game music!

Mario :D

Granted.

EarthBound, Donkey Kong Country 2, Banjo-Kazooie = Best Soundtracks Ever

*Stuff*

Thanks, TIN, but I've already emptied out most of VGMusic and OCRemix regarding my favorite games. Also, I have the Star Ocean 2 Arranged Album, which is one of the best CDs ever created.

I guess I should give FF a mention too. There are quite a few good tunes produced by Mr. Uematsu. (Though there's a great deal of junk, also.)

The Black Mages CD is a great compilation of some of the best FF battle songs.

I really like the Zelda music. I can't really pinpoint a specific game; but its the only game soundtrack that never got on my nerves when I was playing it.

Heres a trip back in time. (http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/LightWorld.mid)

Oh ok then. Mario

Doodoodoo doo doo doodoo doo doodoo, doodoo doo doo doo du! du! du! :D

Thats kinda hard to diciede.

Streets of Rage / Bare Knuckle... best soundtrack evah.

Actually, Tetris on the Philips CDi had some good music.

Bet none of you ever had one of em now did ya! :p

I have a Panasonic REAL 3DO FZ-1. I think one "Dead Console" is enough.

And the CDi was deader then dead from the beginning. ;)

The best game soundtracs you say?

Cliver Barkers undying (Music by Bill Brown)
American McGee's Alice (Music by Chris Vrenna)
Quake (Music by Nine Inch Nails)

And finally:

Evil Genius (Music by James Hannigan)

Kind regards Bjerrk(istan)

Try the N64's F Zero X music. Some Japanese heavy metal band have actually recorded the songs too. Try searching Amazon for F Zero Guitar Arrange, and you'll find it. Its actually really skilled playing, if you like tuneful heavy metal (not the thrash variety)

Super Conflict, SNES

Some people thought the music on it was bad, but I liked it.

I am a big fan of The Advantage. My favorite song they play is DuckTales: Moon Theme.

Heh, the school i was at bought one! :D

My dad got one too, the fact he worked for Philips had nothing to do with it ;) :D

Rise of Nations has some good music. Its full orchestra and goes really well with the game.
And ChronoChross(I forgot how thats spelled) has an awesome soundtrack.

I know I'm gonna be shot for this *ducks for cover*

I like the music in SimCity 4. It's really stimulating when you're playing the game (and it works well with the game, too).

American McGee's Alice (Music by Chris Vrenna)

Good choice.

Anything from the C64! There's plenty available here (http://www.c64.com/), and there's also Slay Radio, which can be found in the 'Internet Radio' section of RealPlayer. Classic.

Furthermore, I find the music from The Sims 2 to be rather catchy *blushes*

Video game music fun. ^^

The Megaman and Zelda series' both had their great musical moments, as did the later (but not latest) Final Fantasies.

*Grabs handy Ocarina*

Secret of Mana on ... SNES I think?
Also, as soon as I read the topic, the Super Mario Bros. music from the 8-bit Nintendo started playing in my head. I guess I like that too.

Marathon 2 and 3 had great theme music.

Hitman's music is superb as well. So is Metal Gear Solid's...

The FF VII and IX music is awsome, as well as any Mario game...in fact...i think Super Mario RPG may have had music that was quite similar to the overture from Phantom of the Opera, not the whole thing, just the begining...I'll have to play the game a gain to be sure...*begins compulsivly playing SNES so as to beat the game today in a few hours....* *rabmles even while posting and doing things*

I've had game music stuck in my head - i can still hum bars from Mario bros, but none of these were really my fav.

If any, i'd have to say Shivers 2 for the PC.

Opening music and Episode I from the original Panzer Dragoon, and the whole Halo soundtrack.

I find the music from The Sims 2 to be rather annoying.

I love the music from Katamari Damacy.

On the island, there are five fascinating worlds in which you can do things such as explore a brain, sail a sparkling ocean, become a guest on a talk show, save the world from an asteroid or even abort a nuclear meltdown and much more. These worlds are complex, intricate illusions that reflect the thoughts, dreams, nightmares, humor and values of Queensryche. Promised land contains three dimensional puzzles, games and thought provoking ecological challenges. as your adventure progresses. You will need find the segments of the Totem in your travels.

This is probably over-said, but Metal Gear Solid 2. It aint classic, but its good!

Also, the music to Soldiers: Heroes of WWII works well within the game.

And yes, SimCity 4's music does work well.

I love the theme tunes to all three Metal Gear Solids, especially the third and first. All are brilliant games in their own rights, and the music in the first is just astounding

personally i like Vice City,

also like

AllYourBase
MK

...Im sure there is more...i cant remember

i love the final fantasy soundtracks. only got 2, VII and X-2

Heh - I found the animaniacs theme tune.

:eek: i've had that in my head for the last 2 or 3 days! yay!!:D

my favourite videogame music has to be either Sonic 3 (some of it was cool, especially Ice Zone and Carnival Zone), Super Mario Land for the SNES (the music is forever burned into my brain), or Halo/Halo 2 (cos the most excellent guitarist Mr Steve Vai plays on 2, and 1 is just cool)

I love the music from Katamari Damacy.
finally, somebody with a brain
the two video games with the best music are Katamari Damashii and Rez. No questions asked.

I am really shocked to have not seen one mention of Halo in regards to videogame music. It is probably the greatest videogame soundtrack of all time and makes a huge impact in the game's overall feel.

Chrono Trigger; the music was some of the best Square/Enix stuff ever. My friend and I actually taped it off the TV speakers using a boombox, since we were too young to know about import CDs.

Later, we got the Piano score for the game, and learned to play the music. I also scored Magus' Theme for my high school pep band (I just didn't tell them it was from a video game ;) ). We only played it once or twice, but it was fun.

"Together We Ride" on FE

MohFL or motal kombat

mwuhahahha...

...or Halo/Halo 2 (cos the most excellent guitarist Mr Steve Vai plays on 2, and 1 is just cool)

Final Fantasy Tactics for the Playstation has the best OST in my opinion.

The Ur-Quan theme from Star Control II.

Secret of Mana also had nice music. :)

I'm with you. CT's got the best music of an console RPG and Magus' theme was something absolutely different from the normal happy sounds you hear on so many other games. You can really sense the pure evilness of the guy from the theme.

Otherwise Earthbound also has great music. It mixes well with the game but they give you a BAD headache if you play too long or have a hangover.

MohFL or motal kombat

MOHFL.. I'll go with that. Also, Freedom Fighters rocks

Chaos Gate!

Battlezone 1,2
Homeworld
Red Faction 1,2
Unreal Tournament 2k4
Tetris (Best.Arcade.Music.Ever.)
Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn

Those are just a few, and I've been rather vague about which songs are actually good, but they all have great music.

Oh. And Metal Gear Solid is worth mention. Again.

Final Fantasy Tactics for the Playstation has the best OST in my opinion.

That's also a good music score. I managed to pick up the 2-CD soundtrack for it, complete with a bunch of art in the flipbook.

Ahh...it brings back memories. I had a shattered knee in high school, kept me almost totally bedridden for 6 months. FFT was my constant companion, I put more than 500 hours into that game, hacked it every way possible, learned each and every detail and secret.

I played it so much that I cannot play it anymore. My brain associates its music with sleepiness, it lulls me into slumber whenever I play more than a few minutes. Because of that development, I used the Soundtrack as a sleep-aid during college.

The Starwolf Battle Theme from Starfox 64 is one of my favs. I like the Starfox: Assualt version better though I think. Found http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/n64/starwolf.mid.

Oh and www.ocremix.org has remixes of videogame music.
