What are your favorite video game songs? Remixes and re-arrangements are fine too. Post the youtube of them.

Stage 1-1 from Super Turrican. This song is just so cheery and good, it makes me feel better after listening to it.


Sealed Time from Ys:Oath in Felghana. One of my favorite songs from the Ys 3 soundtrack. Somehow they combined trance, rock, and violin and made it work.


Mt. Ordeals (Mountain Theme) from Final Fantasy 4. There's just something about this song that's just stuck with me for over 15 years. It's one of my favorite songs ever from any Final Fantasy game.


Snakeman's Theme from Megaman 3.

(specifically THE ARCADE version. The Mega CD version
was okay but not as good. Sounds a bit different)


(to this day THIS gets me pumped up)


(The entire soundtrack is fucking epic. But espcially
"Aggressive World" starting @ 0:19 and "Reincarnation"
starting @ 2:03)



:vik:


(got a ticket listening to this recently)



:buttrock:


(I fucking "whistle" this song while I work complete
with beatboxing style back beats and everything)

:tickled:


"MEGA TECH BODY baby!"

:buttrock:

Trying to limit to one/platform otherwise I'll just list a bunch of Amiga and Turbo games... ;)

Crusader No Remorse Title Music:

The first PC game that I would load just to hear the music.

Fury of the Furries Title/Forest theme

The game had great music throughout.

Dracula X: Stage 5'

I listened to the music tracks of the game and fell on this track. (I hadn't uncovered Stage 5' yet, so I made an effort to try and see if there was a stage).

R-Type (C=64 version): Remix

Heard it first on the Wibble chip-tunes podcast. I remembered this tune, but it had been a long time since I played the game and I forgot about it.

I don't know if I can think of all my very favorites, but here are some songs I liked:

[okay, this is definitely one of my all-time favorites]


[this needs Krauser's introductory words, but holy hell --best boss music ever]


[especially around 3:50 or so]


[I really liked these three off of this recent game]




[Classic]


[As far as humor goes, it's hard to beat this:]


[chill --I almost feel like it should Three's Company or something]

The entire Darius Gaiden soundtrack is tits! Pretty much anything Zuntata is awesome!


I preferred this game over Ninja Gaiden and the music is top notch!


What a shit game for such an awesome theme!

Remember: youtube tags only need those letter/numbers after the = sign. Don't use the whole URL. If you're confused, just quote someone else's post and see what they did.

I still think music in an entire game rather than a single stage I would have to give it to Sonic the Hedgehog. By far the best collection of tunes in a single game.

Love this thread. Right now I'm trying to figure out what new track I want to record, so it's cool to sample other people's favorites that I may not have heard. Right now I'm currently jamming to:

@soilwork... you should do a cover of the Getsufuu Maden theme song... would be badass as metal cover. Couldnt find a non- remixed (aka gay dance version) of it on youtube so here is the mp3 for it. Take a listen....

GEESE!!!! Fatal Fury 3 Especially the second part from 2:54 on. Probably my favorite piece of video game music ever.





Simon's Theme from Super Castlevania IV
Most of the rest of this soundtrack, too, along with most of SFC Drac XX's and SotN's soundtrack, too.





Theme of Laura from Silent Hill 2. Everything from Silent Hill 1, 2, and 3, really. And most of 4's soundtrack, too.





'Discovery' from the original MGS soundtrack. But again, pretty nearly the entire soundtracks for all MGS games for me.





'Magical Girl' from JGR



I could go on forever, but those are the ones I think of first.

Civilization IV - Baba Yetu



Ace Combat 4 - Megalith Agnus Dei

End thread. These are the first ones that come to mind.

But here's some other material that I also really like:





































I could honestly keep going, since I primarily listen to VGM, but this'll do.
