returntothepit >> discuss >> Best video game soundtrack by fleshfries on Mar 16,2008 7:17pm

post by fleshfries at Mar 16,2008 7:17pm

I think my two favorites would be the Chrono Cross soundtrack and the Diablo II soundtrack.

Morrowind or Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or 4

All good choices so far. But my very favorite would have to be Castlevainia: Symphony of the Night

Though Castlevainia 2 on NES was a good track too

Shadow of the Colossus
Thunderforce VI
Chrono Cross
Eternal Sonata is like 4 discs of amazing
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

post by NuclearWinter at Mar 16,2008 9:00pm

Chrono Trigger, Symphony of the Night, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy VI (III).

In all, no video game soundtrack has impressed me as much as that of Chrono Trigger. Frog's theme is probably the most epic and triumphant piece of music ever.

listen to Shadow of the Colossus and Eternal Sonata's OST... they are both brilliant and epic

post by anthny at Mar 16,2008 11:03pm

Dude there is sooooo much amazing VG music.... it's practically impossible to choose.

Contra Hard Corps for Genesis and Turtles in Time for SNES are definitely up there for me.

post by jackenhoff at Mar 16,2008 11:39pm

Chrono Cross is amazing and the music is flawless
Final Fantasy VII and X (Nobuo Uematsu is one of my favorite modern composers)
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 had GREAT music

post by thegreatspaldino

at Mar 17,2008 9:16am

no one needs to mention square games, we know nobuo is amazing.

post by ZenErik

FFVII, FFVIII, FFVI, FFIX
Kingdom Hearts I and II

That's about it. I love the Lunar and older Suikoden games, but neither has a really memorable soundtrack.

post by aril at Mar 17,2008 9:44am

Don't understand why everyone love's Chrono Cross' music so much. It's good, but not Yasunori Mitsuda's best work. I think Chrono Trigger's music and Xenogear's music blew it away!
Hitoshi Sakimoto does awesome music too: specifically FFT and Vagrant Story (Awesome game if you've never checked it out..)
Nobou Uematsu's FF3(6) soundtrack is unbelievable. It's definitely a masterpiece.
Don't forget about Koji Kondo's stuff though.. he's the dude who wrote Mario Bros. (most recognizable VG music of all time) and Zelda's music. My favorite of his work is Zelda: Link's Awakening music.
As far as Sega musics go, I'd have to think about that.
As far as knowing their names and stuff... sorry, I'm a VG music nerd.

i knew i forgot Xenogears! man that music was awesome, im going to download it now.

also, Time's Scar/Scars of Time alone is more than enough to carry the entire Chrono Cross soundtrack. that song is one of the best songs ever written, atleast in my vastly superior opinion it is ;)

post by Yeti at Mar 17,2008 10:33am

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Cruisin' World.

post by thuringwethil at Mar 17,2008 10:34am

Make Trax

post by C.DEAD at Mar 17,2008 10:35am

I think the game was called Chakal, it was for Genesis, but it had an almost noisy EBM kind of thing to it. I would love to hear that shit again.

Oh, also the Motley Crue pinball game for Genesis. It was midi versions of their songs.

post by jackenhoff at Mar 17,2008 11:53am

That was Chakan. Sick game.Awesome music

post by C.DEAD at Mar 17,2008 12:11pm

right right, ChakAN. I remember it was almost like Shinobi style, but that it was also extremely difficult. Great music though.

post by RichHorror

at Mar 17,2008 12:12pm

Final Fantasy 7
Shinobi 2

post by aril at Mar 17,2008 1:10pm

How could I forget Lufia I & II - great catch thegreatspaldino. LufiaII's boss music is awesome. It's melodic-death-sounding.

There was this game for Genesis called "Rocket Knight Adventures" that had awesome music.. can't remember who wrote it.
Also for Genesis: Vectorman
Crusader of Centy
Comix Zone
Sonic 1,2,3 (mostly 2)
Golden Axe II
Altered Beast
Phantasy Star
many more

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has a great soundtrack. I never even played the game and I still sought the soundtrack.

agreed. the music however is nothing short of brilliant.

post by aril at Mar 17,2008 3:47pm

Actually, to tell you the truth, I've always like the music in the Kirby games. Well, the NES and Gameboy ones at least.
Marble Madness did have awesome music though.
Skyshark (NES)
Metroid (NES)
Donkey Kong (Gameboy)
Wild Arms (PS1)
Need for Speed II (PC)

kirby all stars for SNES has all the amazing music from every kirby ever up until that point. its also the best version of all of the music, atleast i think it is.

post by lbprovidence at Mar 17,2008 7:14pm

Scarface. there's everything from howlin wolf to cypress hill to suicidal tendencies to iggy pop to johnny cash. and its a great game.

post by theloadsweblow at Mar 17,2008 7:28pm

Rocket Knight Adventures (Genesis)

Contra III - The Alien Wars (SNES) [I know someone already mentioned that one but it's worth repearing)

X Men 2 - Clone Wars (Genesis)

The Terminator (Genesis) [The main Terminator theme by Brad Fiedel arranged for 16 bit sound is fucking epic as hell, and the original music for the levels is great.]

post by theloadsweblow at Mar 17,2008 7:28pm

I feel I must re-post this.
Nobody seems to want to cover any old songs.

post by aril at Mar 18,2008 9:57am

How could anyone forget Tetris?
Couple other NES games:
Willow
River City Ransom (awesome music!)
Bomberman (just one song, catchy as hell)
