What is your favorite old video game music?

[darklink259]

I don't know quite why, but whenever I hear the old pokemon battle themes (from red and blue versions), I get nostalgic. Surely others have felt the same way about a particular game's music?



Edit: Now that I think about it, this seems to happen alot with RPGs

 

[Trendkill6]

The music from FFVII and MGS are my favorite, they remind me of a much simpler time in gaming...

ahhhhh memories

 

[Mr Sunday Night]

The theme from Worms was the bestest. That and the Metal Gear Solid alert music.

Oh and the battle theme from Final Fantasy X.

 

[HardRockSamurai]

The Pokemon Red/Blue songs + the Tetris themes

 

[Scarecrow38]

Goldeneye 64 had awesome music.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Anything from Banjo Kazooie or Banjo Tooie.

 

[haruvister]

Turrican 2. The Chaos Engine (in fact, any Bitmap Brothers game). Hired Guns. Shadow of the Beast 2. Zelda: OoT.

 

[Boxmeister]

the Tetris theme

A thousand points for this man's epic choice. I am in full agreement.

That and the background music from Diddy Kong Racing (N64) or Pokemon Yellow (gameboy)

 

[EnderWigginDA]

The Legend of Zelda.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Chrono Cross's music was incredible. And it reminds me of a good period of my childhood, in difference to the parts of my earlier life that make me groan from lack of comprehension of my stupidity. Hindsight is 20/20!

Chrono Trigger's nice as well, but I don't get particularly nostalgic when I hear it, as it was about a year ago that I had first played it, long after I first played Chrono Cross.

[TaborMallory]

Goldeneye 64 had awesome music.

I second this.

Also, I'm partial to 8-bit remixes.

 

[ddq5]

Definitely Super Metroid, that's some great stuff there. The Norfair theme is still one of my favorites.

 

[saxist01]

Megaman X, but I'll go with Spark Mandrill

 

[DarkSplinter82]

Shining Force from the Sega.

And the Streets Of Rage Music was pretty cool.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Starfox/Starwing on the SNES, level 1...

BAM!!! de de de de de de de de DANANANA BAM!!! denene BAM...

 

[MarsProbe]

Numerous tracks from the Megadrive era Sonic games: Starlight Zone, Scrap Brain Zone, Aquatic Ruin, Ice Cap, Flying Battery...and so on.

Basically every track from the original NiGHTS into Dreams.

The Open Ocean music from Ecco the Dolphin.
