Gaming music.

[Dabra]

What theme stood out before any else? Which one just left you thinking about stuff you wouldn't normally stop and think about?

I have a couple.

FFX: Main theme

Chrono cross: First world map theme when you're "in another world", and the theme that hosts the first cinematic.

Metal gear solid: Main or last song, I don't remember. But when you hear it, you know.

I'm dying to hear more, so what were "your" songs?

[SnAPPUrU-nyan-ko]

FFXI Mithra theme.
Keep rolling around in your thong, catbish. :3

[Miu]

Even though Final Fantasy VIII was my least my favorite game of the series, I really liked the battle music from Laguna's world (not to mention that Laguna was just about the only redeeming character in that game)... My all-time favorite songs are both from Final Fantasy VI: the phantom train song, and the mines of narshe theme.

[Mazarin]

Ninja Gaiden II: The main theme, and the theme from the Lightning stage. I'd listen to that forever...

...and still do.

This is gonna seem totally out of place and obscure, but I get goosebumps every time I play the final level on Rez, to Adam Freeland's "Fear". Just amazing, especially when you ascend into space and the music gets an almost angelic tone, and at the same time an enemy resembling a computer virus fused with an angel fills most of the screen. Man, that's seriously one of my favorite games of all time.

[rbf2000]

All the music from the original metroid.

[X-thirteen]

i love the music of the temple of time in zelda ocarina of time.
i dont know why but its just so peacefull, makes me think of all the good times.

[Meteor]

Jet Set Radio blew my fscking mind! It was so cool I went to New York and bought the CD for $40 http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

The only Japanese Electro-Funk I own, sadly.

[Ness]

All of the PSO music.
The Society and the Crypt Maze music from Evolution: Far off Promise were good.

[amoralist]

Guitar Freaks (especially Jet World, Dry Martini, and Hypnotica)
DDR http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
FFVIII (boss theme and the serious boss theme)
FFVII (disc I end battle)

[Deathscythealpha]

Starlight Zone music from Sonic 1 is one of my all time faves, i just like the twiddly chours bit in it.

The end theme to Sonic 2, where the Death Egg blows up and Tails goes to save Sonic. Im not sure why but i just love hearing that track an watching the little slide show that goes with it.

Sonic CD (japanese and european version) Opening and End theme. There just so cool and catchy, i still dont know why they got rid of them for the americain version...

'Open Your Heart' from Sonic Adventure. I could just sit about singing along to that song all day. I even put it in my GTA 3 and The Sims games.

The Doom theme. Just reminds me of al that time i sat in front of my old PC playing that game, i really want to get it as my phone tune.

'Take on Me' from Samba De Amigo. That track just rocks.

Hmmm, thats all i can think of at the minute.

[Mazarin]

Hey Deathscythe, you know what rocked?

Sonic 2, Chamical Plant Zone. Favorite Sonic tune ever.

[Nidarrock]

Ok there is a few so bear with me.

Chrono Cross: main intro
MGS: The end credits and the music during Sniper Wolf's death
Panzer Dragoon: tough one but I'll say the end credits, music during logo/main menu, music during the short version of the CG intro.
FF VII: Aeris's theme
FF VIII: Eye's on Me
Mega Man 2: Intro music, Quickman's level (my favorite Mega Man level of all time! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif).
Ecco the Dolphin (Sega CD): I don't know the track # or the level but there is one song that is so damn soothing and relaxing it's amazing.
Castlevania SotN: I am the Wind, Cathedral section

I'll leave it at that for the moment cause my mind is drawing some blanks. I have a lot of songs that stand out. I know there are some Sonic CD(U.S. version)songs but can't think which ones.

[Ayame]

Metroid (NES): Intro Theme, Kraid's Theme (His level), Ending Music (When you're escaping)
Super Metroid (SNES): All the music (Seriously)
Ninja Gaiden 1, 2 and 3 (NES): All the music, every SINGLE one.
Dead or Alive (PSX, not the Saturn one): Ayane's Theme, Kasumi's Theme, Jann-Lee's Theme, Bass' Theme, Ryu's Theme, Lei-Fang's Theme...pretty much all the music in that game, too! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

You know, after checking this post ut at college, i decided to plug my saturn in and play Sonic Jam. For some reason i never really noticed Chemical Plants Song befor, but i really started to dig it while playing. They should really update it with some funky saxaphone solos.

DDR fan i see. I pretty much like every song from DDR so i'll just state those I can do >.<

-Dynamite Rave
-B2K (or something)
-Nori Nori Nori
-Butterfly (I got SS! with every perfect and 3 great's)
-Captain Jack (love this one, even though it's easy)

I can do more but they don't really stand out in my mind right now. And my DDR music ennemy (never could do it, even on Basic), was Afronova.

I'll GET YOU MONKEYBOY-NINJA-THING!

Where are the fanboys when you need them?

"Final Rush" man, that's the coolest one I've heard since Sonic & Knuckles's Flying Battery Act 2.

[Spektrum]

Phantasy Star Online v1 and 2: When you choose wich ship and block you wana go to, that music reminds me of all the good times Iv had with pso http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[BlackRose]

Halo - pretty much all of it, i go around humming it all the time
FF7 - Specifically, Aeris' theme, world map theme (pre-meteor), and the "Golden Shiny Wire of Hope!" music
FF8 - all of it, give or take

But the top of my list: All the music from Mechwarrior 2, MW2: Ghost Bear's Legacy and MW2 Mercenaries. Seriously, I love it.

[Nerd]

Battle Arena Toshinden: Duke and Ellis Stage themes
Sonic 2: Emerald Hill Zone
Megaman 2: Woodman stage
Megaman X: first stage, Storm Eagle stage, heck every darn stage
Sonic Adventure: "at dawn" and "it doesn't matter"

Im a HUGE fan of video game BGM.
Here is a great site they remixed video game music. They have songs form all sorts of games like Mario Brothers, Sonic, Phantasy Star Games, Metroid, even Dig Dug. please Check out these samples along with the site im sure you will find somthing you like even if you are not a video game music fan.

http://www.pixeldissonance.org/stuff/music/Sonic_2_Robotniks_Trippin_on_Ecstacy_OC_ReMix.mp3

http://www.pixeldissonance.org/stuff/music/Sonic_LightningStar_OC_ReMix.mp3

please let me know what you think about the site.

and Special thanks to Pixelate for the hosting of the songs.

[Ayame]

Ahh...OverClocked I see. Yes, they do have some great remixes over there, indeed...

http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Mazarin]

BEST VIDEOGAME MIX EVER:

ReMix: Ghosts'n Goblins 'Instant' (http://remix.overclocked.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR00004)

[Hana]

I always had a weird fix for older VGM tunes.
Here's my favorites:

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 The Manhattan Project (Bridge of Danger) (NES) (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/tmnt3.mp2)
My favorite old Konami soundtrack! Nothing's better than NES discofunk tunes. ^^

- Journey to Silius (Stage 2) (NES) (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/journeytosilius.mp2)
SOOO hauntingly nice... which is not surprising; the game was originally meant to have a Terminator license, so the chilling influence is there...

- Overlord (title) (NES) (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/overlord.mp2)
The MOST ambient NES tune by far IMO. I used to often keep this song in a loop while playing the Caves level in PSO DC ^^;;

- Silver Surfer (Game BGM) (NES) (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/silversurfer.mp2)
Whee!!! The game itself was kinda icky (not to mention impossible to beat), but the soundtrack rocked SOO much... ^^ The music composer (Tim Follin) also made the following song...

- Solstice (OP title) (NES) (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/solstice.mp2)
IMO the BEST NES tune. Ever. NO CONTEST. (even better that this was prolly the first English-made console game that was actually very popular with Japanese players). I LOVE Tim Follin SOOOOO much... *^^*

- Magical Chase (Meisou no Waltz - Part II) (Turbografx) (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/magicalchase.mp2)
This one is so nice to listen to, especially since this waltz tune is meant to sync up with the shooter game's enemy patterns when you play that certain level, which really adds up to the coolness. ^^

Yeah, most of my favorites come from that blippy-bloppy 8-bit NES. Considering I also arrange (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/Chibi-Tech%20-%20I%20Love%20U!.mp2) actual (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/Chibi-Tech%20-%20DNA%20Clonin.mp2) NES (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/Chibi-Tech%20-%20Turrican%20III%20Level%201%20mix.mp2) music (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/Chibi-Tech%20-%20Po-Barabanu%20(DanceDanceDendy%20Mix).mp2) out of (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/Chibi-Tech%20-%20Pandora's%20Grey-Box.mp2) my overinflated (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/Chibi-Tech%20-%20NSF%20Exploder.mp2) free-time (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/Chibi-Tech%20-%20NES3.mp2), this is definitely a bias. ^^;;

I do like newer stuff though... like "Super Turrican I"'s 1st level tune (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/superturricanlv11.mp2), and ending tune (http://kesubei.virtualave.net/muzak/superturricanending.mp2) (featuring the saddest piano ending ditty for a SNES game ;_;). "Shantae" for GBC also had some really great funky arabic hip-hop chipmusic (http://virt.vgmix.com/music/gb/jake_kaufman_-_shantae_-_bandit_town.mp3) to it (you know you got yourself some special talent when you create Cypress Hill inspired blippy hip-hop tunes... not to mention remix Gameboy renditions of Sisqo's "Thong Song" (http://virt.vgmix.com/music/Virt_-_Thong_Song_(GameboyMix).mp3). XD )

Oh, I do like a lot of the DDR mixes as well (well, at least the ones I can actually achieve a good score in... =P ) even though whenever i'm in my "music critique mode", I tend to think that they were made from some guy over-using his automated "Dance eJay" or "MTV Music Generator" programs. =P

... and yes, i'm also one of the very few who have MP3 versions of Totakeke's music in Animal Crossing. ^^;;;;

[Deathscythealpha]

Well, this thread has got me addicted to playing Sonic again. Ive just finished playing Sonic 2 (on Sonic Jam) finishing off with a total of 326660 points and having got all the Chaos Emeralds by the end of the second level of Casinopolis Zone (is that the right name, bah, cant remember now).

And just to stay on topic, the ingame music from Puzzle Bobble, it just so cheesy and great to play along to.

what do you mean by that?

[Ayame]

Those remixes that you posted were done by OverClocked, they're a site that has alot of amazing video game remixes. Perhaps you had gotten them somewhere else? Well, either way, they're done by OverClocked, and I was just pointing out that I'm a fan of their remixes. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

The only Japanese Electro-Funk I own, sadly.

HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN?! Excuse me for a second as I hammer a nail into my... um, picture frame.
Anyhow, yes, let it be KNOWN: JSR had the best non-music-game, non-RPG soundtrack of ALL TIME. ... UNTIL Jet Set Radio Future came along. It's an extremely hard decision, but I'd say that JSRF has the best soundtrack of all time in a game. Once again combining obscure licenced music with funktastic urban elecktro soul for the PERFECT music to accompany your urban-Japan graffiti romp.
Oh, how I love those games.

Of course, I'm also a huge fan of Nobuo Uematsu and all of his glorious FF soundtracks, as well as pretty much everything DDR. I could go on and on listing my favorite game music, so I'll just leave it like this.

[Sunaj]

Most of the FFVII, X ST.

JSR/F

NiGHTs- Two absolutely beautiful songs...whose names escape me. But the whole ST.

PDS- the Final Theme.(real title too long and hard to type out) and most of it's music too.

A lot of the Sonic music, favorite though is S&K 2nd level, (Metal Egg...?) second act. Final Rush from SA2.

Zelda: OoT even though most of the songs showed up earlier in Zelda: LttP...
