Best Video Game Song Ever




Posted by Zabuza

I already know there is a Favorite Music thread but this thread is for favorite game music. So let me start. This is a link to my favorite song:[URL="http://www.megat.co.uk/museum/mp3/NiGHTS%20Original%20Soundtrack//23%20-%20Dreams%20Dreams%20~Ending~.mp3"]http://www.megat.co.uk/museum/mp3/NiGHTS%20Original%20Soundtrack//23%20-%20Dreams%20Dreams%20~Ending~.mp3[/URL]

Is that the adult version of NiGHTS's theme song: DREAM DREAM?
I wish I had a game song I could choose from...

The MechWarrior 2 music is simply brilliant. All of it.




Posted by Lord of Spam

Chocobo battle music from FF7, or Black Mage village theme from FF9. Both occasionally run through my head.

Posted by Shin-Ra

Silent Hill 3 - "End of Small Sanctuary", "Sickness Unto Foolish Death", "I Want Love (Studio Mix)"

I also remember Xenosaga have nice music, but I don't have the soundtrack and haven't played the game recently enough to specify songs.

Just put the www part together with the rest.




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

Why don't you do that yourself.

I'm not going to name single tracks, as there's just too many I love. So pretty much all music from:

Baldur's Gate (PC)
Baldur's Gate II (PC)
Icewind Dale
Neverwinter Nights
Guild Wars
Chrono Cross
FFVIII
Quite a few from FFVII, IX and X as well
Shadow Hearts had some nifty music
As did Jade Cocoon II
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates




Posted by s0ul

Golden Sun 2: the Lost Age, the overworld theme after merging parties. Also, the Saturos fight in the first one
Starfox 64: Star Wolf

Then basically anything from OoT.

The Legend of Zelda- Ocarina of time- This game has outstanding music...throughout the entire game.

F-Zero - Big Blue, Mute City (awesome)

Quoting Colonel Mustang: The site that was posted won't allow direct links, sorry.


Ah.

Yeah OoT had nice music. There is nothing outstanding about it. But the tunes are nice and catchy enough.

I really liked Meganman 3's music when you beat a boss, and you'd get a new power.

Quoting Bj Blaskowitz: I really liked Meganman 3's music when you beat a boss, and you'd get a new power.

Hah, yeah, Megaman 3 was unique like that.

Most critics regard Nobuo Uematsu's best work to be his work on Final Fantasy 6, and I agree. "Dancing Mad" is a ridiculously good song.



Posted by Bj Blaskowitz

guys, start posting links to these things, I wanna hear em

here's the one I was talking about:

Absolutely everything for...

And 'Target Renegade' for the NES.
MIDI doesn't do it justice, so get the NSF Winamp plugin and listen to [url=http://www.zophar.net/nsf/target_r.zip]this[/url].




Posted by Killer Jordo

Tristram for Diablo II or is it I? Well I cant remember but IT IS from a Diablo game. IT has a dark yet classical sound to it. Very nice. Only problem is it takes up the space of 5 songs on a CD :( So I usually dont put it on a CD.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Recently, I've taken a really keen interest in video game music. After stumbling upon [URL="http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/a"]Galbadia Hotel[/URL], I've been downloading like crazy. Your favourite video game tracks right now/of all time?

Currently I love:
- Super Smash Brothers Brawl - Main Theme
- Mystical Ninja - Festival Temple Part 3
- Katamari Damacy - Katamari on the Rocks
- Phoenix Wright - Investigation: Cornered!
- Phoenix Wright - Objection!
- Kirby's Dreamland - Popstar
- Metal Gear Solid 2 - Father VS Son




Posted by Fate

Nobuo Uematsu's "The Extreme" and "Maybe I'm A Lion" from FFVIII, though every track was great
Any MGS track, though "Yell 'Dead Cell'" (Norihiko Hibino, MGS2), "The End Is Yet To Come" (?), and "Way To Fall" (Starsailor) is amazing
Katamari Damacy's "Cherry Tree Times"
Svetla Krasteva's take on "Aria Di Mezzo Carattere"
Nanako Ritsuki's "Sudeki Da Ne"
Any piano, acoustic, variation, etc. of any good game song




Posted by Sasuke76

the music to PoP 2 and 3 are sweet! and ninja gaiden (for those who don't know PoP is Prince of Persia)




Posted by MetalVox~55

Anything from Megaman X, Metroid, and Sonic makes me happy




Posted by Klarth

[url]www.ocremix.org[/url] for remixes, blah blah

Radical Dreamers has the most beautiful game music ever. Yasunori Mitsuda's "Distant Promise" is amazing. Xenogears and Chrono Trigger also have great scores.

Nobuo Uematsu can go **** himself in the ass. :)

Quoting MetalVox~55: Anything from Megaman X, Metroid, and Sonic makes me happy

Here's something you'd like:

Halo Theme Mjolnir Mix - Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori WITH STEVE VAI ON LEAD GUITAR

With that said, it just has to be the above song. The Terran music in StarCraft is pretty good too.



Posted by MetalVox~55

Heard it :)




Posted by Inferno

I love listening to piano compilations of various games, especially the Final Fantasy ones. Other than that, pretty much anything that is either really action packed or catchy. Then there are the tons of great remixes at ocremix.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Current favourites for me:

[LIST]
[*]Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Chemical Plant Zone
[*]Doom - E1:M1
[*]Chrono Trigger - Bike Chase
[*]MegaMan - Wily Stages 1-2
[*]John Williams - The Legend of Zelda
[/LIST]




Posted by Sean the Wicked

My friend Rob and I are conducting a...very large and wide poll to see what the best video game music is. Why? We have no lives. In either case, what, in your opinion, is the best video game song ever? Any game, any genre, any system, any kind of music (however, music done by real bands and put into the game does not count. For example, Burnout and most racing games).

In any case, my vote will come later...need to take a long hard look at my music files.




Posted by Stalolin

Sonic 2, Chemical Plant Zone.




Posted by Last Fog

I like the music in the Donkey Kong Country games. And also the save room theme from Resident Evil.




Posted by Zeta

Bah, too difficult to choose just one. For the longest time it was Stickerbrush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2, but now that I've started to pay more attention to the music in games, I'm not too sure about that...




Posted by Apathetic

Mortal Kombat.




Posted by Porcupine

Megaman X's Storm Eagle Theme's definately worth a mention. Along with all the Sonic 2 and Monkey Island themes.




Posted by Hyper

I've always liked the Zelda theme.




Posted by Roger Smith

Aw man, this thread is killing me. I'm a nut for video game music so it's damn impossible for me to choose.

Flying Battery Zones 1&2
Fighting In The Streets (Streets of Rage)
Go Back (SoR2

I can go on all night.....maybe some other time I'll make a decision.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

"Awe of She" or "Elegance" from GGXX




Posted by MetalVox~55

Megaman X and X2's music.

Sonic & Knuckles music as well.




Posted by Klarth

[quote=Vampiro]
"Awe of She" or "Elegance" from GGXX
For someone who doesn't like Helloween, you seem to like pseudo-Helloween a lot :D

Any of these tracks:

"Phoenix" by Daiki Kasho from F-Zero GX
"Time's Scar" by Yasunori Mitsuda from Chrono Cross
"June Mermaid" by Yasunori Mitsuda from Xenogears
"World Revolution" by Yasunori Mitsuda from Chrono Trigger
"Distant Promise" by Yasunori Mitsuda from Radical Dreamers
Mute City theme from F-Zero covered by Machinae Supremacy :)

Quoted post: For someone who doesn't like Helloween, you seem to like pseudo-Helloween a lot


I've never given Helloween a chance. But if that's what they sound like...



Posted by Klarth

"Awe of She" sounds EXACTLY like a Helloween song called "Liar".




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Huh, that's pretty cool. I'll have to find it then.




Posted by Shin-Ra

Alright, I just merged 3 or 4 threads on the same subject. Sean, do you know what the fuck the search feature is and how to use it? Or are you just an egocentric asshole who needs to have his thread stand out above everyone elses and spam up the boards?

Note: Save yourself the trouble and don't answer that question.




Posted by Zeta

k, I put a bunch of pieces of paper with song names on them, and randomly drew one out of a hat. Ended up drawing Bloodlines.

http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/1342/3




Posted by Roger Smith

Why don't you just download the SPC for Dracula X and the SPC plugin for Winamp? That way you could download SPC's for ALL SNES games.




Posted by Zeta

I've already got the whole Rondo of Blood soundtrack on my computer.




Posted by Roger Smith

For all my SNES video game soundtrack needs I just find the SPC and use Winamp, saves ****LOADS of space, and since they're SPC format they sound essentially the same as on the SNES.

The final Gygas fight in Earthbound. IT IS SUPERB [http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/CBGiygasint.mid]

All Earthbound music was superb.


EDIT: my link seems to not work. :(




Posted by Raptor

The Cosmo Canyon (Red XIII) Theme from Final Fantasy VII. It's so tribal, catchy, and perfect. If only one thing made playing that game worthwhile (besides Red himself), it was that tune.




Posted by Klarth

[quote=G-Sides]The final Gygas fight in Earthbound. IT IS SUPERB [http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console...BGiygasint.mid]
Oh, I forgot about this one. ****ing AGREED.




Posted by Dog

The Chogobo song, The Boloro of Fire and The Nocturne of Shadow from OoT. That's all I can think of.




Posted by Arcadios

I enjoyed the majority of the music from Final Fantasy X.
Some note worth tunes would be A Fleeting Dream, Mt. Gagazet, and The Decisive Battle.




Posted by victimofadown

the theme song to the original mario. its catchy and its the only video game theme thats doesn't make you look insane when you hum it. as a matter of fact people hum it along with you.




Posted by Shin-Ra

Somebody merge this thread with the other "Favorite Video Game Music" thread.
