You guys seem to have a pretty good taste in videogaming soundtracks!

I love almost every game/franchise you guys quoted above.

They simply rock.

Turrican are definitelly some of the very best. Chris Huellsbeck is like a magician ! wink

YESSSSSSSS.
Smartest man.
Turrican has amazing, kick ass music.

Other than that, Final Fantasy is probly the most important franchise in terms of soundtracks, to me.

Lagduf · Mar 27, 2003

Panzer Dragoon
Chrono Trigger
Zelda

Those are my favorites.

Final Fantasy destroys everything else. It's the only thing I can actually listen to in my car. But, other than that:

Castlevania
Street Fighter remixes
Turrican
Samurai Showdown
Chrono Trigger
...er, pretty much anything Squaresoft, really...
Zeldas
Quakes
Unreal
Need for Speed series
Gran Turismo
Grand Theft Auto III Vice City

There are a TON of other memorable ones, like Mega Man, and Mario, which capture the mood and style of the game perfectly, but I'm trying to guage what could stand on it's own, and be sold as a CD.

SSS · Mar 27, 2003

Panzer Dragoon series

I managed to download the entire soundtrack to Saga, before they took it offline. I doubt you'll find the Mp3's on kazaa. Two CD's worth of awesome music.

Atro · Mar 27, 2003

Final Fantasy ST's are not my style, but I reckon they fit perfectly in those games.

The "outer world" from FF X is terrific!

But as for RPG's music, I'm more for Phantasy Star IV, brilliant melodies!

So sad nobody mentions this amazing RPG! wink

The True Warrior · Mar 27, 2003

How could you guys forget the Guilty Gear series! I mean, talk about awesome music for a fighting game... drool

Oh, and Xenogears/saga too... mr_t

MegaDrive20XX · Mar 27, 2003

Bare Knuckle II
Gate of Thunder
Winds of Thunder
Macross DYRL (with Minmei singing in last stage)

steveold · Mar 27, 2003

Can't believe no one mentioned SFII (Arcade) or Contra (NES) or Megaman 2 (NES).

Those games have great soundtracks IMO.

Same for ThunderForce III on Genesis. Wowzers. eek!

Atro · Mar 27, 2003

Steve:

I did. SF II CE = Street Fighter II Champion Edition. wink

Buro Destruct · Mar 28, 2003

Sonic the Hedgehog (namely Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic 3)
Streets of Rage series (SOR2 being the best)
Wipeout series
Xenogears/Xenosaga
Final Fantasy
Silent Hill
Contra
Castlevania
Halo (technically a 'franchise')

Robert · Mar 28, 2003

Turrican 2 (still listening the intro of turrican 2 for countless hours)
King of fighters
Sonic on DC
Blood money (those who remember this game are my new friends)
Blazing star
SF3:3S
Xenon 2 (the moment you enter the shop and the seller stop his walkman with the game intro theme is for ever in my memories)
Souledge
bobble bubble
Cannon fodder ("War never been so much fuuun!")

Kid Aphex · Mar 28, 2003

Oh, How could I forget?

The absolute best soundtrack ever is Sonic CD...the US version. NOt that bullshit, trashy Jap garbage.

Spencer Nilsen went to town for the US version; its a time capsule that serves as a look back to the early 90's. Such amazing music, I can't believe no one has mentioned it.

EssenceK · Mar 28, 2003

The Mr Driller Series (Drill Land for GC in particular) has some of my favorite music to date... it's a beautiful fusion of classical and electronic instruments...

BEST PUZZLE-GAME MUSIC EVER!

ray_7 · Mar 28, 2003

Zelda
Mario
Sonic
Street Fighter

twalden · Mar 28, 2003

Castlevania
Last Blade - the games do have quite a few ambient tracks but the music that's there is great.
Fatal Fury
Sonic R - yeah, it's cheesy, but I like it for some reason.
Shinobi
Jet Set Radio
