Some music used in games can be annoying or dumb, but other games have fantastic soundtracks, what are the best you have heard?

1) techno soundtrack to PS1 game Wipeout.......wow! Chemical
Brothers, Prodigy etc.......my all time favorite.

2)Trent Reznor soundtrack to Quake 1........very creepy/atmospheric

3)Didn't PS1 game Ridge Racer 1 have pretty cool music?

What else?............

My favorites are:

1. Final Fantasy VI (SNES) - Incredible orchestral score, I never tire of it.

2. Castlevania: SOTN (PSX) - Awesome mood setting music

3. Castlevania: COTM (GBA) - Same as above, but not cd quality obviously

uhmmm.. Mega Man 3 anyone? download the main theme on MP3 here http://mpeg.macnn.com/megaman3/music/mp3/intro.mp3

and I might be mistaken but I believe Bubble Bobble is an oldskoolNES favorite. And who can forget that infectious theme song? Listen to a cool remix of it even, right here . It's a zip file, very small. Unzip it, it's an mp3. And ROCKIN'!!!!

Better yet, listen to the original Bubble Bobble theme in sweet cheesy midi format! http://taito.overclocked.org/bbobble/bbobble_mid.zip

or Bubble Bobble marching band mix, MP3 version: http://taito.overclocked.org/bubsym/bsingame.zip

 

[gorgon_123]

better yet.. just go here for NES midi music... they have a bunch of old favorites: Dr. Mario, Dragon Warrior, Zelda, Mega Man, Kid Icarus, Metriod, Faxandu, Castlevania, Ice Climber, Double Dragon.....

okay.. i'll stop babbling about nintendo (Nintendo = Nofriendo..)

I thought the soundtrack to Jet Grind Radio for dreamcast was quite good.

But of course I have still love those classics that were mentioned like Tetris and Dr. Mario for NES.

I'll second Jet Grind Radio, it has a really fun soundtrack.

All-time favorite is still Final Fantasy II (Japanese IV). FF III (Japanese VI) is a close second. Skies of Arcadia for Dreamcast is extremely good. Of course, RPGs have traditionally excelled in this area.

Also, Alice for the PC is really cool as well. It's very atmospheric, fits perfectly w/ the game (which I highly recommend, BTW). I believe it's going to be released on CD very soon.

Descent2 (and descent2 Vertigo Mission series)

I love industrial music.. So...

Both have their music done by Type-O, and Ogre (Skinny Puppy).

Makes for some killer robot blasting hours.

 

[Xander]

I have to agree with dhwilkin on Alice. While the music is scary.. It's some moody stuff. Not to mention the game itself.

 

[Mr_Happy]

I liked the soundtracks of Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate II. Epic orchestral music. The composer who did the Icewind Dale soundtrack, Jeremy Soule, has his own web site

 

[Flumpus]

DarkAngel, you're right, Ridge Racer 1 on PSX had AWESOME music! Great techno! I played that game for hours just so I could listen to it

Anyway, Descent had good music, as did Symphony of the Night on PSX or Saturn, either one...

 

[Xander]

The original Descents midis are to die for. But I figured that was far beyond you guys. Guess not.

My friend always raved about the music in Wipeout, too.. Not sure which one. He's into electronic music, and stuff like that..

 

[DanG]

Warcraft II. Hands down.

 

[DarkAngel]

O M G !
The soundtrack fron Descent 2 has TON and Ogre, Gothic/Industrial/Metal what a combo......whish I had heard this!
CD now playing, TON "Bloody Kisses"

I was waiting to see who would be brave enough to admit they
like Mario/Sonic/Donkey Kong music.........he,he,he

 

[Xander]

DarkAngel, sometimes I pop the CD straight into my deck and start listening. It rox.

 

[Vertigo-1]

Descent 2 had some awesome tracks...Final Fantasy VII had some nice ones...MDK 2 had some nice ones...oh and the tracks for Gran Turismo 3 totally r0x0rs my b0x0rs.
