Topic: Video Game Music

And I love him for it.

Reading through this thread, I see no one has mentioned Kirby. Kirby Superstar has some of the best music put in a video game. I'll hum those themes all the time. Although all Kirby games have good music, that one is still the epitome of the Kirby sounds.

Also, Super Mario RPG. No one mentioned that although, they did mention Mario in general. Still, I thought it should be named.

That tune IceCold is talking about was on the OoT Masterquest disc.  That music really stuck out to me in that demo of F-Zero GX.

wow this is a cool thread. I also did this myself, made my own cd using video game music, except I primarily used Sega Genesis and Saturn games because I found that Sega has the best music composer out there for video games.



Anyways I am going to make a Nintendo themed cd also so thanks to whoever bumped this thread as it reminded me I need to do this.

I haven't read through the old posts but I recently discovered a cool game track that is obscure enough that I'm pretty confident that no one has mentioned it.  That track is the first level music for Rastan.  I'm playing the arcade version here so I don't know if the Sega Master System port has the same music.  The game has a barbarian theme like Conan and the music just fits the mood perfectly.  It pumps you up and makes you want to plunder foreign lands, steal from ancient towers, smite fiercesome enemies, drink frosty mugs of ale, eat meat raw from the bone, and make love to beautiful wenches!  HA HA HA!

Song of Storms is awesome; one of the best videogame music songs I've heard..

It's called the Hymn of Storm on my Zelda MM OST.

And hell, Cho Ren Sha still has one of the most fitting soundtracks a game could have.

A cult classic gaming tune is the Wormsong from either Worms, Worms Armegeddon, or Worms 3D by Bjorne Lynne.

Or don't forget any of the Lemmings tunes if you want something to make you smile and a little bit trancey and cheesy for a bit!

Icecold to stole Perm's habits?

The Song of storms is indeed awesome, it has been my ringtone for the longest time, but I changed cellphone recently and I decided to change it for the stone tower theme from Majora's Mask. The music in the game is awesome and Im a blind MM fanboy, but I have to admit that OoT music overall was better. My favorite Zelda theme though is the song of healing, is so melancholic and sad, but nostalgic in some way.

Currrently, I listen daily to metroid orchestrated, metroid metal and metroid remixes, hell even the 8 bit midi tunes are good! and Kraid's theme in zero mission is simply spectacular.

If anyone is at all into Tetris, there is a really great rock rendition by a group called Ozma.  The song is called korobeiniki, its one of my favs!  I even play it at my music store job, blasting it till it hurts, lol.

Here is a sample of the song http://www.myspace.com/ozma.

Oh and i like to add that Zelda Ocarina of Time: Hyrule Symphony, is another great cd!

[IceCold]

Haha, it's from Swat Kats - I started using it last July when it was "Cancelled Cartoons Month" and I haven't changed it since then. I've been meaning to, but whatever

[BiLdItUp1]

ah, so nigel has returned. it's been a good long while, I lost all of your early tracks though a while back. Gonna try your new stuff now.

[BiLdItUp1]

Naw man, the Swat Kats are tight. Now that you mention it, I'm gonna go see if Myspleen has 'em. (best LD/old, ignored TV backup site on the net, bar none)
