Best video game music

rhodesdr	Date: December 2, 2003 @ 3:46 PM Super Mario Bros. -- the original on the old-shcool Nintendo... I've heard the theme music covered by several bands, remixes, etc... I mean, the underground music? C'mon, that's the bomb!!! (dunna-dunna-dunna, dunna-dunna-dunna...) " id="71939">DJAtari really started this thread in a different post, but I thought it deserved its own thread! ---------- I just have to follow up about the video game music -- my all-time favorites (this dates me, I know) are: M.U.L.E. -- this is going way back! But for the time (early 80s Atari) this was the shit! The little disco-style bassline and drums (man, I think I'm going to record a cover of that...) This perhaps has to qualify as the best all-time video game theme, based on the technology available at the time... Spy Hunter -- okay, this is really the "Peter Gunn" theme by Henry Mancini, but when I was a kid playing this at the acrace I couldn't get enough of it!

Acumen	Date: December 2, 2003 @ 5:29 PM ummmmmmmmm.... Mega Man 2 & 3. oh yeah... (where's that megaman emoticon). you should listen to versions of megaman 2 music by the minibosses (and music from other games as well ) here: http://www.minibosses.com/ it rocks so much.
Slurgi	Date: December 2, 2003 @ 6:00 PM I am so glad somebody mentioned Megaman. The third mega man (nintendo) has a kick-ass theme. There are some good midi's out there, arpeggiated chords and all. When it comes to video game music, nothing tops final fantasy (any of them). In particular, 3(actually6), 7, and 9 had some beautiful songs to them. I love every single one of them, and i can play a bunch of them on the classical guitar. I can also play "Loss of Me" from FFIX on the piano. Such a pretty song...
fireball87	Date: December 2, 2003 @ 8:40 PM Chrono Trigger had some good music, if i remember right they got someone from the orchistra to help with it...
Arthen	Date: December 3, 2003 @ 12:55 AM Castlevania. The good old Vampire Killer stuff as well as Symphony Of The Night, but all the franchises were great anyway. In fact it was this particular game that really pulled me into the classical baroque style with heavy metal fusion, and it was then I discovered Yngwie later. Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night OST is a MUST GET!
Sweats	Date: December 3, 2003 @ 1:11 AM Streets of Rage 2
Arthen	Date: December 3, 2003 @ 3:31 AM ahh YEAH! Streets of Rage trilogy!! The 3rd one wasn't that good on the music though. the classics are the intro song for part 1.

ABG	Date: December 3, 2003 @ 7:01 AM The Wip3out games have rockin' music ^^ And no "best vgmusic" thread is complete without mention of Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger
Thaspian	Date: December 3, 2003 @ 7:34 AM Final Fantasy IX, bitch.
pixelmasochist	Date: December 3, 2003 @ 8:04 AM Everyone has failed to mention the soundtrack to Arkanoid II (Revenge Of Doh) by Martin Galway. That still kicks ass, also Killer Rings by Ben Daglish was a kickin' track that would make a very tidy, upbeat d'n'b track today. Pretty much anything by maniacs of noise... Then we move to the amiga Turrican by Chris Huelsbeck and thanks to uade I can play this stuff on my computer Quake3 Has a pretty cool soundtrack, prerhaps not something you wouls listen to but it fits very well with the game.
EvilAdam	Date: December 3, 2003 @ 9:19 AM Chrono Trigger, Doom, The Castlevania Series, Streets of Rage series, Quake 2, and Metroid all had great music. By the way, I did covers/medleys of some video game music if you want to check it out. I did StarCraft and Chocobo music my style at http://www.eviladam.com/music.html
