Right now, I'm thinking:

E1M1 (Doom)
One Winged Angel (Final Fantasy VII)
Guile's Theme (Street Fighter II)
Katamari on the Swing (We Love Katamari)

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
From the Title Music to the defeat music.
It is some good muzak thar.

One Winged Angel- Final Fantasy 7

Here is mine:

One Winged Angel - the version from Advent Children
Passion - Kingdom Hearts 2 Ending song
And many remixed songs from OCREMIX

easy question... CAVE STORY, ill even link a sample :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzOyEtnAHIM and if thats not intense enough then... http://kwix.shackspace.com/cavestory/soundtrack/11%20On%20to%20Grasstown.mp3 my personal favorite :)

...

Can't you people broaden your horizons just a bit? One-Winged Angel and Passions? What the hell?

I doubt it's the single best, but a lot of great music comes from the composer Yasonori Mitsuda, who might be best known for his work on Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Listed in random order:

Chrono Trigger:

World Revolutions
Last Battle
Longing of the Wind(Wind Scene for those who like the badly translated name)
Chrono Trigger
Schala's Theme
Corridors of Time
Wings of Time
To Faraway Times
Battle with Magus
Robo's Theme


Chrono Cross:

Dreaming by the Shore of Another World
Fields of Time
Radical Dreamers Unstolen Jewel
The Dream That Time Dreams
The Girl Who Stole The Stars
Magical Dreamers
Arni Village(Both Home and Another)
Victory: Call of Summer


At the moment that's all I can think of, though I'm sure that when I put my mind to it I'll come up with more later.

Lord of the rings, Halo 1 and 2

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
From the Title Music to the defeat music.
It is some good muzak thar.

I have to agree, I love the title music.

That's actually the new communist anthem to replace the internationale.

I liked

Vaygr Battle (alternate) theme, from Homeworld2;
Chiasm's 'Isolated' and Darling Violetta's 'Smaller God', from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines;
Coast Line, Factions Theme, Emperor Kisu's Theme, Garden of Seborhin Theme from Guild Wars
Lots of tracks from Neverwinter Nights
The menu theme from Battlefield 1942;
Virtually all the tracks from The Longest Journey (available here) (http://www.longestjourney.com/download/music/)
Contribution, Top Hush, Noctis Labyrinthus and more from Descent 3
Many tracks from the Total War series, but especially the credits music, We Are All One and Forever
Various instrumental/ambient tracks from Dreamfall;
The absolutely stunning Dantooine Ambient theme, as well as Bastila's theme, Carth's Theme, and various other ambient tracks from Knights of the Old Republic;
Eat Your Potatoes (quiet Mix) from Age of mythology, and several others.

I have more but will post them as I remember. :p

That's actually the new communist anthem to replace the internationale.

The intro music to SoulStar on the MegaCD (Not a Barry White kareoke game).
Various music from the Megadrive/CD Sonic the Hedgehog games.
Some from Planescape Torment
And whilst it might not count as it uses classical music, Frontier: Elite II

Everything from Final Fantasy VII.

Everything from Guilty Gear. Seriously, best soundtrack ever. (Particular favorites: Holy Orders[Be Just or Be Dead]{Particularly the GGX version}, Haven't You Got Eyes in Your Head?, Noontide, Momentary Life, Simple Life, Writhe in Pain, Feel a Fear, Still in the Dark, Meet Again.)
A similar but stylistically different entry: Everything from Melty Blood.

(If you haven't heard of either, look 'em up. They're worth the time.)


Dancing Mad, Kefka's theme from FF VI. You thought One-Winged Angel was epic? Try 10 minutes of awesome on for size.

Liber Fatali (Or however it was spelled) FF VIII. Game wasn't the greatest, but it's a wonderful song.

Old school bleeping and blooping: Star Control 2.

Planescape: Torment has a couple of good ones.

EDIT: HOLY CRAP, how did I forget Grim Fandango?!

first GTA, hands down.

favourite soundtracks:

Steel Panthers II (SSI)
The Dig, TIE Fighter, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, the Monkey Island series (Lucasfilm)

Have you heard the OCRemix of TIM2P?

Currently listening to: The newest version of the SSBM menu music (Menu 1)

Have you heard the OCRemix of TIM2P?

Nope. Is there a legit download anywhere? Google just said "no"... What should I look for?

Best video game music?

ADVICE

THAT WILL COST 200

I'm still a big fan of Bomb The Bass used in Xenon 2: Megablast.

The origional Jets'n'guns Soundtrack. The game wasn't good, but the soundtrack kicks ass.

The Myst III and Myst IV soundtracks.

Nope. Is there a legit download anywhere? Google just said "no"... What should I look for?

It's an OCReMix... so I can just link you to its page.

http://www.dan-dare.org/FreeFun/Gallery/ZeldaLinkAni.gif (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00105/)

Now listening to: DABOMB

Medal of Honor (All of it)

Medal of Honor: Underground (All of it. In Particular, Escape from Casablanca, Dark Wewelsburg and Each Night He Comes Home To Me.)

Medal of Honor: Frontline (All of it. In particular Arnhem Knights.)

The music for all above three games fitted the mood of the games perfectly in level and introduction and menu ambience.

Wonderful, wonderful. All Composed by Michael Giacchino.

Rage Racer: Thumping and far out music that helped the occassional boredom and gave a boost to the andreneline.

Destruction Derby. A few gems there.

GTA: Class

GTA: London 1969

Some good stuff there.


Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30 and Hell's Highway

It's an OCReMix... so I can just link you to its page.

Now listening to: DABOMB

Aha, excellent. Ta!

*Bookmarks site*

Battlefield: Vietnam.

The joy of the radios in the vehicles... the JOY!

Homeworld of course.

Barbers Adagio for strings backdropping the mothership construction in a cosmic ballet. Paul Ruskay did a great job on the others too, especially the Garden of Vishnu level.

The Wind waker
Kingdom Hearts I & II
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Anything and everything by Nobuo Uematsu, the composer behind the musical scores of every final fantasy.

Also he remixes his own music with his rock group, The Black Mages.

Non-Final Fantasy however, I can't really say there's anything that reaches out and grabs me, besides the soundtrack to Xenogears, composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. I like Id's theme the best, closely followed by Emperor of Darkness, the Wind is calling, Omen, and Thames, men of the Sea.

The entire soundtrack to Threads of Fate.

It's got to be mario music. Can't beat it.

I've found most pc games have not had as good music as old Amiga ones. Flashback, The Settlers come to mind as having good music.

BF1942 didn't have too bad menu music. I'm not too fond of all the Japanese fantasy games music, it's all a bit cliche for me.

Planescape: Torment
- Annah Theme
- Deionarra Theme
- Trias Theme
- Transcendent One Theme
- Sigil Battle
- Fortress of Regrets

The Sonics, C&C (Original), and...hmm...

I think that might be it.

FFX and X-2 is pretty good as well.

I would have to say from Ocarana of Time... the soundtrack is just great. Especially the bandit hideout music.

Mario's theme song is cool!

And uhmm Ace Combat 4... the song that plays during the final battle. It sets the pace and the mood so well.

And now, to go old-school...

The music from Blaster Master (NES) was pretty awesome. At least the third level and the sixth level were among the best ever...the fourth world's music was terrible.

I have a thing for the music from Alice. Probably has something to do with Trent Reznor from NIN doing the whole soundtrack...

My nominations:

- The music in Super Smash Bros. Melee, especially the Fountain of Dreams music.
- Any and all music in Katamari Damacy
- The Ascendancy main soundtrack (it's a really old 4X game, if you're wondering)
- A number of tracks from Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2004, especially the victory music (in both games).

Morrowind.

I loved the music in Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and Baldurs Gate. Kickin' it old school, yo!

halo 1 +2 + starwars + lord o the rings

Eeh, I'm thinking of a castlevania piece...I think it was Bloody tears or something.

i really like the song in the final bowser level for Super Mario 64...it sounds fuckin evil...lol:p

Both Halos, because the set the moods so....perfectly
Also Alien Shooter for a similar reason
And i dont think anyone has mentioned the Zerg music in Starcraft....

Id hafta say...

All the music from Crono Trigger, All the Music from Homeworld and Homeworld 2, The Halo Main Theme, And pretty much every song from all the Early Command and Conquer series (e.g. Tiberian Sun, Red Alert, Red Alert 2, etc...)

Homeworld of course.

Barbers Adagio for strings backdropping the mothership construction in a cosmic ballet. Paul Ruskay did a great job on the others too, especially the Garden of Vishnu level.

sorry this post is so far bak, but it nagged at me so badly, it is gardens of KADESH, not vishnu, who is a hindu god.

As for my music that i posted, i forgot to add Deus Ex soundtrack, all of them, beautiful stuff...

Final Fantasy music is my favorite, particularly from Final Fantasy III/VI, but then again that's the only one I've played through all the way.
Particularly from FF III/VI:

....Hmm, I really can't choose since they're all fantastic. I guess the only one that isn't great is the Battle Theme music. But of course, Nobuo Uematsu greatly improved on the basic tune in FF VII and FF VIII (never played anything past that).

I also loved the stuff from Advent Children, but I mention it in passing because it's not a game.

I also enjoy the music from:
Neverwinter Nights
Half Life (although it's only like one or two tracks in the 1st game, right?)
Chrono Trigger
Donkey Kong Country.....I want to say III? The one where you're playing as Dixie and Kiddy and you need to rescue Donkey and Diddy.
The Mario Bros./Sonic games, but I don't feel it's at the same level as the others
Zelda, the main theme is catchy (but again, not quite as good as the others)
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Good call on the Guile music from Street Fighter II, I had totally forgotten about that!

I declare this page of the thread, the n00b page. (except my post).

Nobunaga's Ambition for the NES. That repeating track is still burned into my brain.

I'll just stick with the music from the original Mario Bros. on NES. Can't beat a classic.

Conflict Freespace, Earthworm jim 2 was good for mega drive.

You simply cannot beat Star Control 2.

...well...

One Must Fall 2027 & Settlers (II) come close :)

Europa Universalis series and Deus Ex (the original ONLY).

I got to say Fifa World Cup 2006 Soundtrack, its great.

Ninja Gaiden II. Easily.

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
From the Title Music to the defeat music.
It is some good muzak thar.

Agreed. I have the opening theme on my I-Pod.:)

Right now, I'm thinking:

E1M1 (Doom)
One Winged Angel (Final Fantasy VII)
Guile's Theme (Street Fighter II)
Katamari on the Swing (We Love Katamari)

I prefer the Kingdom Hearts I version of One Winged Angel, personally.

And my personal favorites remain the KH1 and KH2 soundtracks.

One Must Fall 2097 had some great music.
Baldur's Gate
Halo (& 2)
GTA: Vice City

Ea's Fifa 07. There's some great music in there.

The Theme Song for Metal Gear Solid (http://www.youtube.com/jp.swf?video_id=W_6LG8dyE0U&eurl=http%3A//www.google.ca/search%3Fhl%3Den%26q%3DMetal%2BGear%2BSolid%2BMusic%26btnG%3DGoogle%2BSearch%26meta%3D&iurl=http%3A//img.youtube.com/vi/W_6LG8dyE0U/2.jpg&t=OEgsToPDskIZzky9CYMyuggTearcnZUl)

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
From the Title Music to the defeat music.
It is some good muzak thar.

Morrowind does have an excellent score, but so does Operation Flashpoint, particularly the songs Lifeless, Decide, and Darken.

Mystical Ninja for the N64 had the best sountrack ever.

Opening Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFP71Y64ZN0)

Impact Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O65MjYN0ZTk&mode=related&search=)

Random non-lyrical Mystical Ninja music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX_rzpmF_bk&mode=related&search=)

I also used to enjoy Red Alert's Hell March too, I remember that game came with its own music CD. Here, I found the song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHycoOExCPE&mode=related&search=)

My nominations:

- The music in Super Smash Bros. Melee, especially the Fountain of Dreams music.
- Any and all music in Katamari Damacy
- The Ascendancy main soundtrack (it's a really old 4X game, if you're wondering)
- A number of tracks from Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2004, especially the victory music (in both games).

Have you heard Fountain of Dreams from Smashing...Live!?

I find it appalling that people are listing crap like Halo and Ocarina of Time and not one person has mentioned Xenosaga!

Xenosaga: Der Wille zur Macht
Rising Emotions
U-TIC System
Close-Minded Girl
Kukai Foundation
Ormus
Nephilim
Warmth
The Resurrection
Green Sleeves
Zarathustra
KOS-MOS
Albedo
The Miracle
Inner Space
Ω
Pain

Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Böse
Fatal Fight (Jin & Margulis)
Lamentation
Communication Breakdown

Outrageous

Godsibb
Forgotten Sanctuary
Testament
Hepatica (KOS-MOS)
I Love You, Sincerely
Hepatica #3 ~ I Believe in You
Maybe Tomorrow ~ Ending Medley

Other games that I'm disappointed never got a mention were the Metroid Prime games and Skies of Arcadia. For shame, people. For shame.

5 pages of thread and no one has mentioned Snatcher by the famous Hideo Kojima? It was for the Sega CD way back in the day and it had very great music (if your the Blues and Jazzy type) here's a sample (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Cc0p1wYZIOM). If you skip the first 2 minutes and 55 seconds this is the music which made the game famous among members of the old video game culture back then (and plus its by Hideo Kojima so you can't go wrong there :)).

I have a thing for the music from Alice. Probably has something to do with Trent Reznor from NIN doing the whole soundtrack...

Actually, the music was composed by former Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna, not Reznor.

Reznor's only contribution to video game music was the Quake I soundtrack...still one of the best gaming soundtracks, in my opinion. :)

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask has great music!

- Spirit Temple Theme
- Bolero Of Fire
- Requiem of Spirit
- Saria's Song
- Deku Palace Theme
- Stone Tower Theme
- Elegy Of Emptyness
- Etc :P
