Favorite Video Game Music

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
