Mel81x 2,259 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Historically, video games have produced some of the most catchy sound bites, whether its the iconic Super Mario Bros. opening level track or the far more subtle 8-bit running phrase for Tetris on the original Gameboy, then there's the arcade classics like the original Pac-Man, etc. Over time and with the removal of the 8-bit hindrance we we've literally had the two industries, music and gaming, join to give us games which have had superb soundtracks or level tracks to accompany great gaming experiences. What are some of your favorite music pieces from video games? I'll list a few of mine to get started. Daisuke Ishiwatari's original score for Guilty Gear - XX is superb and his followup into XRD was very good too. Even the level tracks for this 1V1 fighting track are metal-pumped and very apt for the game itself. Probably one of the most popular 1V1 fighting level tracks coupled with the ones from Ryu and Guile. This one keeps the sense of urgency running as you gun down imp demons and fight your way through the first level. This game brings back good memories post the Wolf 3D introduction by ID as this game felt more grungier and definitely a lot more polished. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nudge 8,671 Posted January 31, 2019 Tropico (the original first one in the series) had the best soundtrack for me; hands down. So fitting and immersive. This one from Civilization IV is amazing: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IgnisExcubitor 671 Posted January 31, 2019 I liked the entire album of Duex Ex Human evolution, but Icarus is my personal favourite. Shadow of Colossus had some good music. The Epilogue was my favourite Halo had many fast paced numbers, especially the Warthog run, but I love Under Cover of Night. It plays when you fly the banshee for the first time around the mountains. It is perfect for that flight. From the Hitman I have to choose Exploration. Going slightly old school, Contra's tune never gets old for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That opening in the jungle and even the tracks they put on Super Contra as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoshBRFC 748 Posted January 11 (edited) Arguably the best soundtrack/game combo of all time. If you’re on a long drive stick this on. You won’t be disappointed! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
