Fave Game OST!

[DazzleHP]

GTA Vice City

One of my favorites of all time, not coz of the gameplay so much, but coz of the soundtrack! GTA hasn't improved much since GTA III, it's been the same since in my opinion (mostly). One thing it has over other franchises is the OST! Every release has an outstanding soundtrack and Vice City is no exception!

Check it: i would honeslty foward it to 32:00!

"Internet killed every star"

Post your fave game OST's!

Soundtrack was so good I got all the songs together and burned a few CDs for my friend and I to play in the car.

Rage Against the Machine though, man bravo.

Wipeout 3 for me:

One of my favorite games from the Original XBox - Advent Rising.

Am I weird for buying the 3 disc set of Final Fantasy VI (III) OST imported from Japan?

THPS always had amazing music. GTA:VC was great as well. I remember the commercial with Flock of Seagulls.

Guitar Hero Metallica - The tracks on here from Death Magnetic are prior to the final engineering that resulted in the compressed crap mix that made it to CD. (yeah I know, but still, it is a game)

Total Annihilation - Epic orchestrated music score that signified the beginning of a great battle, followed by a sort of ebb and flow of violins during the gathering or resources and building phases. Really made the game seem to come to life for me.

I actually love all the Final Fantasy music. Nobuo Uematsu is a god. But I also yearn to listen to some of the music from the Star Wars games..

[ClassicGMR]

Guitar Hero (ANY)

Can you really say a Guitar Hero game HAS a soundtrack per se? That's all it IS.

Yes. I too love Final Fantasy compositions. I forgot about those. Excellent mood music too.

[DazzleHP]

Yeah i realised shortly after my post that because i'm in PAL region we might well have had slightly different soundtracks - which kinda sucks when you think about it!

YES YES YES! As you already know i am a massive TA freak - and rightly so. When that music finally calms down, you wipe the sweat and relax, before thinking "OMG I GOTS TO GET READY FOR THE NEXT ONE AHHHH"

[DazzleHP]

DiRT 2! Particullarly these two:

Ignore their youthful good looks an listen:

And this one: if you don't dig this you got no soul!

[stigzler]

Believe it or not dazzle, the ARE people who dont like elbow! I know, wierd right? Think it gets a bit too close to the darker aspects of the soul for some, especially the early stuff.

Of course! But i do And you're right, but that's probs why i like 'em

Pffft. You kids and your licensed music soundtracks. Behold the grandeur of chiptune OSTs.

(j/k) If I had to pick a favorite licensed music soundtrack it would have to be GTA: San Andreas

GTA:VC was great as well. I remember the commercial with Flock of Seagulls.

I loved that one right along with the GTA:SA commercial with Welcome to the Jungle!

[stigzler]

Dammit - getting progressive more obscure in my old age. I think Elbow rock. Just to be clear.

HA! Told you so

I think most gamers when asked about game OST's will choose one of the GTA's - they just so damn good! I actually like GTA III best but was "feeling" VC when i posted There are so many "unheard of's" in that game (GTA III) and they are all iconic. When i hear them i am instantly thrown back 15 years, or however long it has been

[nullPointer]

I almost forgot one of my favorites. Holy bat crap is this track heavy! I don't know that I've heard such a bass heavy track on the NES. Fun fact: if you tremolo pick this tune on a guitar, congratulations ... you're playing black metal. Hell, if you play it at the intended speed, you're playing doom metal.

Whoa - Null's opened the chipset music voting! Basically, anything by Rob Hubbard. Good example being this:

17 minutes long! In a computer with 64K RAM (and that's leaving room for the game and graphics)! Null's gamertag above is 184K

Really dunno how this fallacy of "bigger is better" prevails.

[stigzler]

Spooky stuff going on- 1st post disappeared mysteriously - second time - i left it playing cos was enjoying the nostaligia, and the music really picked up around 10.40 + my PC blue screened for the first time in about 2 years!

SID blew Intel.

[DazzleHP]

Seeing as we are going this route, i would like to share something. What happens when you combine SID with real instruments?

I present to you Machinae Supremacy from the game Jets 'n' Guns:

And the game theme song which doesn't have much SID, but i think is frikkin awesome anyway:

Machinae Supremacy everyone \m/

[Draco1962]

Another favorite intro from my Atari 8-bit days... DRACONUS!

And yet another favorite Atari 8-bit Into... Alternate Reality: The Dungeon

Both of these still cause a bit of excitement when I hear them. I spent hours playing both.

[stigzler]

I remember draconus on the c64 too! The guy also did a version on the SID:

[Draco1962]

Love the SID and SAP (Atari music format using the POKEY chip on the Atari 8-bit systems).

Man, perfection for retro ambiance!
