Gaming Soundtracks

[Miggs]

I dunno if one would put this in the general Video Game topics but uh... I figured to make one of Sound Tracks.

So, what's yalls favorite game sound tracks? Any particular full sound tracks, or just a few songs that you guys like?

Personally I enjoy a lot of the Legend of Zelda songs, mainly form Majora's Mask, along with just a bunch of Nintendo songs in general.

But because I'm a fanboy nerd of the Souls series, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs from a game.

Hmm, the Undertale soundtrack in general is amazing. I'm personally a fan of Undyne's battle theme.

The Elder Scrolls games have good soundtracks.  Marrowind especially. 

Grand Theft Auto Vice City may have the best sound track of all time.

Descent 1 & 2.  There were both midi and cd-audio OSTs which were awesome in their own ways (the midi versions' awesomeness varied on your soundcard quality, of course).  They've been part of my playlist for ages.

Super Meat Boy has some good tracks in it too, though the 8-bit ones grate on me after a while.

Being an old fart, I remember when arcade games first started appearing in pizza joints and such, and their sounds were largely limited to various bleeps for weapons firing or object collisions.  Pong, Breakout, Space Invaders, those old relics.  And sure, Pac Man had some short tunes between levels, but gameplay was still just sound effects.  So imagine the first time hearing this:

Freakin amazing.  At the time, anyway.

^ From the parts I listened to on those links, those are some pretty good tracks.  I'm impressed with the Super Meat Boy one.

Distant Worlds is great if you like Final Fantay games.
Also a huge fan of the Xenogears soundtrack (and in the same vein, Chrono Trigger, very similar melodies).

The Ace Combat series surprisingly has some impressive background music too.  Especially 4, 5, and 0.

Probably go out on a lamb and say the Zelda soundtracks are great :3 Super Mario series as well, particularly Super Mario Land as well. If I had to pick stuff that I'd listen to for awhile uninterrupted, it'd probably be--

- Metal Gear music
- Castlevania

And Earthbound (Mother 1, 2, 3). :3

Oh ye, HUlk I forgot about the Meat Boy soundtrack. Never actually played the game, but i remember the music being awesome.

I agree, Patri, the castlevania music is noice.

[Kyrl]

Hell, I forgot about Castlevania.  And Megaman series too.

[RainySunshine]

Red Dead Redemption.

I think SMB was Danny's second soundtrack ever.  He did a darned good job, IMO.  And I haven't played it either, just liked the soundtrack.

And so far, I'm not familiar with any of the other soundtracks in this thread, other than what I might've heard from Powerglove or CarboHydroM.

Red Dead Redemption.

This game.

There'll never be a finer western game quite like this. Rockstar is teh best.

[MasterXtreme]

Red Dead Redemption.

I will jump onto that wagon.  Truly one of the greatest video games of all time.  Rockstar always puts their full heart and soul into a game, and the soundtrack was unique blending some modern twists with classic country.  It was a fascinating game overall.

Sorry for the necro-bump, but..

Do movie soundtracks count? 'cause I got a ton of them I like.

[Wolfwood]

Sure, go for it.
