I read this book, it was... fine? I enjoyed the exploration of life mapped onto an MMO, but there was exhaustive gushing about minute details of various 80s things. My response was either "Yes author, I know, I read that Wikipedia article as well, please continue the plot" or "I've never...

I usually played the fighter. Felt more exciting to be running around hitting stuff than opening a menu and auto-targeting things. Didn't feel like the other two had enough magic points to nuke all the basic enemies and make me redundant, though I do remember insisting that nobody use magic in...

I mean, my thoughts on Secret of Mana are complicated. I too have fantastic memories of playing it with friends decades ago (and yes, I bought a multi-tap for it too), but I'm suspicious that those memories are 75% 3-player co-op and 25% awesome soundtrack. When I look back more critically...

No, they're a different series from Final Fantasy. The first one, however, was brought to the US as Final Fantasy Adventure to piggyback off a more recognized name. I haven't played Golden Sun, but I'd best describe them as RPGs with realtime combat. Somewhat Link to the Past-ish, but with...

I've never even played Metroid Prime, but somehow I knew something from that soundtrack would wind up on the list. Just needed to know the name of the song. Thanks for sharing!

Ah, so you did! I didn't wind up adding your song (I liked it but it was a little too peppy for the trudgery of winter), but you did totally get me watching a playthrough of Tobal. I remember reading about that game in an EGM way back in the day and being quite intrigued. You aren't weird...

Yup. I had four songs on the list when I started this thread, and two of them were Super Meat Boy (the other one being the dark world version). Love me some Danny B.

Well, a large portion of what I'm using has been posted up here by other users, but... sure, why not? You may also be interested in knowing that I did this exact same thing for ice a while back and got a lot of great hits...

Well, Bolero did make the 'list, but I went with this remix. I assume you've heard it already, but just in case... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bshT4Agyd38

It's a great choice, but I'm making a playlist here! If everyone just linked Bolero of Fire it wouldn't be very helpful :P

Your Crisis City video isn't loading for me. What's the song called, so I can search it out myself? Thank you kindly!

I find it ironic that you went for the bowser level music when Mario 64 has a dedicated fire theme. But you're right, that is a DAMN fine song (certainly the best on that soundtrack) and I can definitely see what you're getting at in terms of sounding fiery, whereas I had already considered...

Ha. I skipped over this at first because the cover made it look like ice level music. Glad I gave it a second glance. Awesome share!

It doesn't matter what the title of the song is, if that's what you're asking. Fire-type levels were what I meant, but anything that gives a feeling of heat will work. It doesn't have to be from a video game either; I was just using them as a springboard because "Fire World" is such a...
