A.C. Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I just downloaded the Outrun themes and now have the classic "Magical Sun Shower" as the ringtone on my phone which prompts this topic: What are your favourite video game themes? Obviously I love the Outrun tunes - people of a certain age will hum along with these automatically if you play the tunes to them. Pretty much any Mario theme tune is guaranteed to be immediately memorised and loved. The music for the first Castlevania game on the SNES had some truly awesome moments. The Zelda themes also get a special mention. I was surprised to find that the same main themes have been used since the NES days. Over to you lot.

MojoPogo Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 very good call! Yo Suzuki was my favourite composer for years, video game wise. Magical is my second favourite, my favourite being the Streets of Rage theme!!!! Wonderful stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Icon Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Silent Hill games so good I brought the soundtracks. MGS games as above. I always loved SOR & Sonic music on Megadrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Final Fantasy has always had great music as have MGS, the theme on the long ladder in Snake Eater is beautiful and GTA's radio stations deserve a mention too especially the earlier ones with no licenced music and the chat radio stations. I don't know weather I love or llothe licensed music in games, if a good selection is made that fits the game then it can be good for instance in True Crime: New York City but on the other hand alot of the tuner racing games have a real mixed bag of great music and really awful stuff that you have never heard of for a good reason. Also Tony Hawks games have good music, T.H.U.G 2 was the best of them IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Stevens Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 For me it has to be The main theme from the first link game on the NES. It made you feel like a hero lol.

MojoPogo Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Another game i loved the music in is Bubble Bobble, even now that theme, haunts my dreams!!!!

Christof Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Burnout 3 has some great music. Though I don't know if that's classed as a soundtrack now days. If so I pick Super Mario Bros 3 for the NES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Gringo Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Any of the Mega Drive Sonic games really..... That was pure genuis and the music for when you faced Robotnick was awesome... and when you faced Metal Sonic? Pure tension cos he was a bugger to defeat... Also the score for the Zelda game on the SNES was wonderfull.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.C. Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Thought of a couple more: Manic Miner (this is a refrain from Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain-King"... over and over again) Pyjamerama (this was the "Popcorn" tune... over and over again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
