Favorite Videogame Music

[TMA_1]

I just thought I would start this thread because I was reminiscing about all those dandy video game songs that would permanently get stuck in my head. Here are a few games with great music that I can think of at the moment.

Megaman 2

Ultima 4 Quest of the Avatar

Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest

Various Mario Bros games

Final Fantasy IV, VI and VII

Metal Gear Solid

Vampire: The Masquerade, Redemption

Dreamweb

Darklands

Anyways there are definitely a bunch more, just have to think of some more names to throw out there. Ill think of some more and post them tomorrow or the next day most likely. How about you guys? What video and computer game music do you most remember? Post em here so we can all compare notes and see if we can jog eachother's memories!

Anything by Frank Klepacki, obviously!  Other than that, I quite liked the music in some of the Unreal games, especially Unreal Tournament.

By the way, nice to see you back TMA!

Should be in gaming section, and this has been done before.

As I've said before, Betrayal at Krondor has best music. With cd version you get I think 400mb of .wav, and they sound awesome (assuming you've played the game).

Seconded :)

Lee Jackson did a good job on both Dune Nukem 3D and Rise of the Triad. The latter has a lot of nice tune that have a nostalgic feel to me :)

The soundtrack from Warcraft II is one of my favourites as well. Warcraft: Orcs and Humans is also good, but I did not like the one in Warcraft III as much.

Age of Empires and The Rise of Rome have nice music too.

Oh, and the soundtrack from Herzog Zwei (Sega) has a lot of great tunes with a nostalgic feel :)

Age of Empires and The Rise of Rome have nice music too.

I was just playing that recently. Sadly for whatever reason when saving random map game, the saves get corrupted or something, and I can't save games (when loading game crashes). Also some random crashes when playing. I have rise of rome patched.

Well, here are some great ones. Have fun listening... - and play the games if you don't have!

Silent Hill 3 - A Stray Child

God Of War - Zeus Wrath Divine

God Of War 2 - Phoenix Rising

Unreal Tournament 3 - Unreal Tournament Title (UT3 Remix)

[Dunenewt]

This one is quite good too.

Well there are only so many times you can post until you have to recycle old material, Andrew! yeesh  ;) And I kinda disagree, to me it just felt right going into the general section, but oh well.

Thanks, newt!

hmmm

Frank Kelpacki was pretty cool, loved the Red Alert theme song.

Illusions of Gaia

The 7th Saga

Even though they are soundtracks, loved the choices of music in GTA Vice City, San Andreas, and GTA IV

I always loved the Atreides Mentat theme on Dune II

Metal Gear Solid does indeed have a great opening theme

Sim City 4

[D2k Sardaukar]

gta 2 (also gta 3 and some vice city songs) gta 4 also nice, but not as good as the old games.

nfs underground (1 or 2, not sure)

dune 2000 of course

street rod 1 (or 2) (lol very old game)

[Dante]

Dragon Age. Far and away the best music I can remember hearing in a game.

Though with my memory, that might not be saying very much. I also quite liked the Ordos themes from Emperor... Age of Wonders had some nifty ones too.

[That Guy]

Kingdom hearts

Kingdom hearts 2

Final Fantasy VIII-X

Dissidia: Final Fantasy

Zone of the Enders

Kirby: Nightmare in dreamland (it really does have nice music)

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Sonic 3 and Knuckles

Sonic Adventure

Sonic CD (Japanese version)

Armored Core: Nexus

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Custom Robo Arena

Gotcha force

NiGHTS: into dreams

NiGHTS: Journey of dreams

Kingdom hearts really has superb music...

Emperor: Battle for Dune soundtrack.

It surprises me no one mentioned Commandos 2 yet. That game has some great music IMO.

Don't know it?
