Author Topic: post your favorite video game music  (Read 5021 times)



I've tried to mostly list songs that aren't super well known in video game music, but a few of them are pretty well known
of course i like the music for things like super mario bros 3, super mario world etc but everyones heard those

Donkey Kong Country - Reptile Rumble EXCEPT ITS THE GAMEBOY COLOR VERSION
little known fact is because the gbc wasn't capable of the same sounds as the SNES or GBA so the GBC port has its entire own soundtrack and its really good chiptune worth checking out the whole OST for gbc if you like that kind of stuff because its def some of the best music on gameboy (original)

heres another port of an existing music to the gameboy color
Zelda: Oracle of Seasons - Windmill Man (The Song of Storms)

probably my favorite zelda overworld theme
Zelda: Link's Awakening (GB/GBC) - Overworld theme

Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword is a clunky ass game with some very impressive music for the gameboy
Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword - Opening (GBC)
Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword - Lvl 2 (GBC)
im pretty sure the other tomb raider for gbc had some good music but its literally not even on youtube and i dont feel like getting my gameboy out right now

pretty sure the shadowgate soundtrack is the same for all its releases from the Apple IIGS and then improved,colored,ported etc to atleast 14 platforms
but i know it from GBC
Shadowgate - Main Theme
Shadowgate - Cavern


Alright moving on from gameboy color to GAMEBOY ADVANCE!!!

Castlevania Circle of the Moon has an AMAZING soundtrack here are some highlights
Castlevania Circle of the Moon - Requim <<Very impressive song for gba
Castlevania Circle of the Moon - Vampire Killer
Castlevania Circle of the Moon - Awake
Castlevania Circle of the Moon - Clockwork

The metroid fusion soundtrack has some really good eerie ambient tracks but heres one that has music
Metroid Fusion - Facing a huge reaction

Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap is another amazing soundtrack, here are some highlights that stand out
Zelda Minish Cap - Royal Valley
Zelda Minish Cap - Game Over

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA) another amazing soundtrack!! but if you're going to listen to one song make it teehee valley, such a lovely arrangement
Superstar Saga - Teehee Valley

Warioland 4 is one of the first games in the GBA's lifespan but its a pushes a lot of technical limits and has an interesting soundtrack including music with lyrics which is not usually seen on gba
Warrio land 4 - Palm Paradise <<Very impressive song for gba

now for games i played on the NINTENDO DS

I played the port for chrono trigger on ds, its probably one of the only rpgs i like
Chrono Trigger - Yearnings of the Wind <<
Chrono Trigger - Frog's Theme

Bowsers inside story is a wonderful rpg also, in my opinion after bowsers inside story all of alpha dream's games were uninspired and lazy

not quite from a game, but game themed
nord mead - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCHq0m67lq8
they do a lot of neat game themed songs (and stuff like batman/game of thrones), their songs for prey (replica) and ME:A (the great unknown) are probably my favourite

battle block theatre's is amazing, specifically the secret area song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWEedeY3qmY&t=7722s

and GTA V's nightclub music is actually amazing ingame, they have some kind of sound modifiers on it and other tracks overlayed to really hype it up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqa4vBgzUYI

payday also has some good tunes to listen to while playing other pew pew games
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54aygAZCKzw

and for some reason bloon's grass/hill theme music really got me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_wyYNIpA-s

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA3CCrYGqFawo3BuPXD1ZHgINFGV76Vu3 never played runescape but the ost slaps
runescape surprisingly has some really good music
was a fun time journeying across the map because of the music


gunpoint - the five-floor goodbye


never played this game but holy forget good soundtrack
