Sad game music?

Post Reply New Topic

Does any music from video games make you kind of sad? One for me is this one:

both those songs are in a minor key - signifying melancholy, malevolent, or mischievious. you're just picking up on the intent of the composer.

The last one brings back memories. Final Fantasy IX is the best game in the series.


Anyway, I think we really need a sticky video game music topic. This must be the sixth topic like this that I saw on WP.

Nice one. The DK themes that do that to me, are the following, from DKC2 and DKC3 respectively:

Chrono Cross deserves a prize for being the game with the saddest songs ever:

- Prisoners of Fate;

- The Girl Who Stole the Stars;

- Frozen Flame;

- Reminiscing;

- Ephemeral Memory;

- On the Beach of Dreams;

- Lost Fragments;

- Life ~ A Distant Promise;

- Departed Souls.

Now excuse me while I attempt to kill myself.

Here's one from the golden age of point-and-click adventure games.

Although this was not the exact recording used in the game (the actual game had a MIDI-type version), the general tune was used throughout the game and in full at the end during the epilogue.

Yeah, I really liked the music in this game lol

Though I never played Earthbound but I feel this music made me feel sad and disappointed at times when I get a game over because I was so close to completing it.

How do you make a youtube video show up on the post like that?

But it is not such a good idea to go crazy with it. Too many embedded videos in the same page can lag your machine pretty bad. this topic is already almost crashing my browser.

Path of Borealis/Triage at Dawn, from Half-Life 2. I'd post a link, but I haven't had an account here very long.
