Guile's Theme and To Far Away Times... 16bit tunes that rocked my childhood.

Yup and doing this video reminded me how awesome the Killer Instinct Theme song was, as well as Starfox.

I own the soundtracks for Orange Box, Portal 2, Oblivion, God of War, Mass Effect 1 and 2 and Call of Duty MW2.

I use to always listen to the Unreal and X2/3 soundtracks by converting the game files to MP3.

Those all are probably my favs.

Pinchy · 08-30-2011, 12:53 PM

I love the Scott Pilgrim game soundtrack, particularly "Just Like In The Movies", "Suburban Tram", and "Shrine Bros".
Killzone 2 has some great tracks on it as well.

I also love some of the songs from Monster Hunter (Freedom 2 / Tri).

The end credits for Skies of Arcadia had some of the most touchingly beautiful music I have ever heard in a game, especially that MAGNIFICENT crescendo at the end:

Joshkdmw · 09-06-2011, 06:53 PM

Opening theme to Donkey Kong Country on the SNES.

You are welcome for your memories.

violent · 09-06-2011, 06:53 PM

darkbase is absolutely correct in his inclusion of Yamaoka. I'm going to give you 5 that are damned near as good as it gets:

Now listen, and become a better person.

evilgoodwin · 09-06-2011, 08:09 PM

How the hell could I forget this song? Every time I hear it, I immediately start tapping my fingers along to it. Hell, it was so good, you hear it over and over again and never get sick of it.

I am, of course, talking about the theme to The Legend of Zelda.

Satertek · 09-06-2011, 08:52 PM

Everything by Jeremy Soule. Especially the Total Annihilation soundtrack, though it's been mentioned on the other page.

Dunegon Siege is probably my favorite main theme of his. (Overall would be Morrowind...or KOTOR...or Guild Wars...)

evilgoodwin · 09-06-2011, 08:56 PM

Fixed that for ya.

Wasson_ · 09-07-2011, 06:34 PM

I do love VG music threads. they seem to come and go...why couldn't we get a sticky?

Round Table

The only jRPG that had characters I genuinely liked and cared about. It has some memorable music too.

Ahh, what a cool city.

Joshkdmw · 09-07-2011, 07:07 PM

The correct answer is the opening for Donkey Kong Country on the SNES.

This thread is now over.

Arphahat · 09-07-2011, 08:18 PM

Lots of awesome music here. Batman brings back the memories. Loved that music... but could never beat the Joker.

Vampire Killer from Castlevania is one of my favs. Here is a remix that I like.

Star Control 2 had some truly epic music. I still listen to the remade versions (from some of the original artists.)

I still really like this intro from Civ 4:

Other good game music comes from: Braid, SpaceChem

Troggles · 09-07-2011, 08:52 PM

This song has amazed me since I first loaded up Metroid Prime.
