The Video Game music appreciation thread.

I really like Risky Wood's soundtrack, especially on the Amiga:

Criminally underutilized song, shamefully only used in a training mode:

Nice chill track, this one gives me goosebumps:

Been way too long since I've played through this one:

This song is definitely in my top 10 of all time:

Just because this needs to be on this thread somewhere:

This craps all over the 16 bit versions of Return of the Joker music :rock::rock::rock:.

Dat Battletoads snare drum :love:

Return of the joker on the NES is the only valid version.
The 16 bit ones feel like cheap ports.
Just listen to this song. Castlevania-ish. Dat bass.

This was one of the greatest and most refreshing RPGs ever made.

Funky Horror Band for the SEGA CD's intro is HYPER COCKING!



It goes total laser disc around two minutes in.

I love the funky horror band OST.

Not actual music but a snapshot of my game music collection (please pardon the glare, I had trouble getting a clear shot on my camera):

From the sounds of it, you haven't heard the entire soundtrack to Time Trax yet. You should fix that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbEJqUeiqLU

As i was watching ESPN this evening, i started to hear a very familiar music playing in the background during a small piece about one of our local football teams. It was a cover and i was sure that it was a music from a Mega Drive game.

And guess what, it was Knight's Errand, from Langrisser II. Awesome.

Hey guys! I'm back! :-)

When I saw Tetris by Sega, I was blown away. I was like, "How on Earth did I not know about this?!" But when I heard the music, it sounded familiar, so I must have run into it at some point in the past after all. It's not quite the same theme as the one from Mean Bean Machine, but it's VERY similar...so, I might just be getting a "false familiar" that way.

Anyway, it's a pretty neat track. For your perusal, I've provided both the Arcade version as well as the Genesis version. They're VERY similar...but still a little different. Which one do you like better?

Arcade:



Genesis:



And for kicks, just to hear how similar it is, here's the Mean Bean Machine track. Again, not the exact same piece, but geez louise, very similar.
