Your favourite game music?

[BioMotor_Unitron]

One of my all time favourites is the music from Streets of Rage II.

I missed out when Mars Colony Music did their release of this. Once in a while I do a search to try and track down a physical copy, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that iTunes actually carried the various volumes of the Yuzo Koshiro Best Collection for sale. I just finished downloading it and need to copy it over to my phone.

Though I prefer having a hard copy and ripping it myself, so if anyone had an original copy of the the Japanese or American release for sale, let me know.

Probably Border Down. Most G.rev games have a specific synth in them that is awesome. I can't figure out what it is though.

Consign. Also, UnderDefeat!

And I love the Darkstalkers/Cyberbots/fill in the blank w/ your fav x68 jams. It's like the synth in Freestyle/OldSkool dance tunes...like the Bwahnanana naw...nnnnnn-na synth roll heard here:

I have to say NES Ninja Gaiden. The music conveys every emotion so perfectly; it tells an amazing story without spoken words.

 

[SPINMASTER X]

STREETS OF RAGE SERIES, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

 

[Professor Denim]

NES Batman.
Neo Fatal Fury Special
Outzone, Hellfire
Bayonetta

 

[Lemony Vengeance]

Scott Pilgrim VS the World: the game has the best music in a modern game. Ever. Anamanaguchi did some good work.


The best retro games have been the Mega Man series to me.

MUSHA is my audio equivalent of caffeine. And both are very good to me.

 

[Cylotron]

galaga

 

[wataru330]

T's Music. Can't forget T's Music. DownLoad2, Thunder series, RiotZone, Darius II CD...I'm leaving out hella-but yeah.

Changes all the time, but lately I just keep going back to Sapphire.

 

[Takumaji]

OutRun, specially Magical Sound Shower.

And then there's the wonderful soundtrack of Real Bout Fatal Fury Special.

...and hundreds of other tracks.

 

[Tron]

 

[Setherial]

I like the soundtrack of Chrono Trigger and many more games. Too much to name.

 

[Mac91]

Yeah there are really too many great tunes. Castlevania games are a firm favourite, as are Megaman and Sonic the Hedgehog.

 

[ViolentStorm]

Streets of Rage 1 and 2 for sure and you cannot beat the Super Castlevania 4 soundtrack.

Also Streetfighter III third strike had a decent soundtrack aswell especially Gill's "Psych-out" music.

 

[Ajax]

Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, Braid, Castlevania, Ketsui, ESPrade...

Super Metroid has the most impressive, most effective (if that makes any sense), most atmospheric music in any game ever, in my opinion.

 

[LoneSage]

Secret of Mana
Eternal Sonata

Pretty fond of the soundtracks in Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi III. Loads of amazing music in both of those...
