Drowned in Sound - Community - Music forum

Otherwise, Zelda, Mario; I don't know if it's just one person, but Nintendo have churned out some great music over the years. I had the Miller's Theme as my ringtone for a while. Happy days indeed...

WINNAR :D

I had all the tapes but I never managed to get that feckin boombox from the raffles. Just had to use Tom's whenever I was passing the hotdog stand.

Did you win both Sega Saturn discs? I did.

Good Times.

Civilization IV

Just for Christopher Tin's composition 'Baba Yetu', which is ace.

To the person who mentioned Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap

I'm really pleased someone else remembers that game.

As for best music: Final Fantasy 8 or 9 (hell any of the soundtracks from FF6 to FF9)

It was great wasn't it!

I saw it once in Gamestation for £9.99 and thought "ten quid? for a master system game? i don't think so!", but have regretted it ever since.

splitterwill | 26 Mar '08, 18:17 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Definitely

One of the best Master System games ever.

Rob Hubbard

cheers for the link - sweet!

Gorkys_Forever | 26 Mar '08, 18:21 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Indeed...

Rob Hubbard, Tim Follin, Martin Galway etc were the best back in the day.

More recently, the end theme from Portal is great.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1/2/3

I listened to them again about a year ago, these songs are basically the soundtrack of my childhood, unbeatable!

DangerousSnails | 26 Mar '08, 18:20 | Send note | Report this | Reply

For original music created for a videogame

I would go with Rome: Total War, its amazing!

Secret of Mana

gets my vote. Still haunting, even in 8-bit grainy mp3 rips from the original audio.

Tony Hawk's

Purely for Superman by Goldfinger...brings a nostalgic tear to the eye to this day when I hear it.

Not only did this game give us some of the greatest engrish ever (All your base are belong to us) but it gave us one of the best soundtracks ever! It's like The Fucking Champs done on a Mega Drive sound chip, it's so A+ that I've uploaded it:

Rob Hubbard was indeed a don!

But I like the Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andreas soundtracks. Saints Row is pretty cool as well, got meinto old 80's Hairmetal bands like Slaughter and Bang Tango. There is a cool hip hop track from Bathgate called Everythings A Go which i am having a mare tracking down.
