Favorite Video Game Music

[Dattebayo 446]

Ah, video game music.

No matter if we're careening down a speedway in the Mushroom Kingdom, flanking some soldiers in space or saving the galaxy from a sentient race of squids, VGMs (or BGMs) are always by our side, breaking up the monotomy of roaring engines or explosions.

Unless of course, you prefer muting the music volume. x)

 

For the rest of y'all, what are some of your favorite VGM/BGMs?

 

Here's some of mine:

 

Koopa Beach from Super Mario Kart SNES:

That funky baseline and cheery tropicalness of the main track always gets me. x)

 

Redial from Bomberman Hero (N64):

I don't know, it's spacy "Muzac" beat always makes me hum along. 

Ah, my childhood. :')

 

Yoshi Rap from Yoshi's Story (N64)

In a game where every BGM in it is the wildly different and unique variant of a single sample of music, it's hard to pick just one favorite BGM of a game so prevalent in my childhood...

But I choose this one.

The second one gives me chills every time, love it. Gotta listen to the whole thing though, there are two distinct parts, the intro and the main theme.

This thread is awesome!

[Jason 1,245]

My votes are for

HALO 1

Chrono Trigger

[Dattebayo 446]

 

Perfect Dark

 

Memories!

Man, I loved the music on Perfect Dark.

My favorite was the credits music, I always had that on when playing Combat SImulator. x)

 

That or, of course, this one:

Here are more of my faves.

 

I only had 2 games for my Gameboy.

One was Pokemon Silver, which in it's own right, has the best BGM of ANY Pokemon game (you can argue and say I'm wrong, but it's just so).

Ahh, the nostalgia is getting to be a bit too much... :')

So warm, soft, gentle...Wake me when this is over...

 

The other was a modest space shooter side-scroller named Solar Striker.

To this day, it's fast drums and futuristic techoporn beeps remain one of my all-time faves.

The main theme to the original Medal of Honor is the first time music from a game really struck me

And there's this too

I tell ya, they don't make BGMs like they used to.

It's all "choirs" and "orchestras" now. GRITTY.

Where's the beef? Where's the attractiveness that makes someone say "ooh, I should listen to that on YouTUbe"?

Me and a friend have had this on repeat all day. Just remembered this thread and had to share.

Good shout Jordie! Oh the memories

[JsinOwl 644]

Speaking of memories.... 

 

[Dattebayo 446]

Yes. Love it.

Probably the loadout song I've heard the most in any current-gen MP game, and that's counting Bo1's! x)

I like most of this guys stuff for video games like LoL and smite, and homework music lol.

 

Music with to many words or to aggressive just distracts me.

[Palle 491]

Some of my favorites, I like most of the soundtrack for this game

I was not at all expecting that style music for a WWII game. 

[Dattebayo 446]

Jumping into the water in Banjo Kazooie's pirate-themed Treasure Trove Cove turned the the cheery tropical BGM into a bicycle of nightmares that rides straight up your a$$ as a shark appears right the f*ck out of nowhere and attacks you.

 

THIS GAME WAS FOR CHILDREN.

AND IT SCARRED ME FOR LIFE.

[Guest Inception.]

I love these games to death.

 

(1:09 gets me every time).

 

 

 

And most recently, this beautiful piece:

Almost a mix of The Bridge of Khazad Dum and Adiago in d Minor.

 

[Dattebayo 446]

 

Ouch, right in the feels.

[J4MES OX4D 10,036]

I quite like the Wave Breaker them on BF4
