Post your favorite video game music!

...not sure if this one should have gone in the music section or this one, but it's a trivial affair for a mod, right?

That seems like a good starter. Hors d'oeuvres to get things going!

Alright, first off great topic, but I think to avoid lag it would be best just to include links with the song name. I only say this because I've made similar topics with LOADS of pictures and youtube links and it really bogged down my own computer even. Sorry if it seems like I'm being a topic tyrant, I'm not, you don't even have to do this, just a friendly suggestion! Also good job beating me to posting Diablo 2 Harem music, that's my favorite theme from the game too!

Anyways, I LOVE tons of video game music, this doesn't even scratch the surface but here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiGiiL3BOwI Ultima 6 intro theme.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID_4UPladqQ Earthbound Buzzbuzz's prophecy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D20dF5Ao1mE Earthbound Kraken of the sea theme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzlhLX-4AW4 Earthbound Snowman.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9gW3FS_ ... re=related Earthbound Pokey Means' Business (15 minute extended version)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghKpsiv-scQ Secret of Mana Eternal Recurrence

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLK8IrYrZxA Secret of Mana A Wish. The most painfully beautiful snowy field theme music ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6Lr7nRjvEk Final Fantasy 6. The Fierce Battle (extended version). I love this boss theme, its so epic and reminds me of a demented circus with the instruments at :28.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDP-zQUh ... ults_video Saga Frontier battle #3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hGAEujN ... re=related Saga Frontier battle #4, still sounds chills down my spine. Once used this for battle music in a D&D game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cUANeTM ... re=related Saga Frontier battle #5, extended to last 16 minutes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFnaRI0q ... ure=relmfu Saga Frontier last boss theme for Emelia. I LOVE how this one builds up at the start!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCpk7HIryK0 Planescape: Torment Anna's theme extended to over 5 minutes. Set this to my main menu music for Guild Wars 2. So pretty.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZOuy4YM ... ure=relmfu Planescape: Torment Deionarra's Theme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gQKNflg ... re=related Planescape: Torment Nameless One's theme!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g-qVAZ01Dw Heroes of Might and Magic 2: Necromancer Town Theme. Simply spectacular music for one of my favorite factions! Seriously, those vocals give me epic chills, man.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNlAqMjkB08 Legend of Mana City of Flickering Destruction. Tragic and beautiful, all of Legend of Mana's soundtrack is very stellar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaOJkkWNL1k Legend of Mana Wanderer's path.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aNcqCYCJKk Legend of Mana The Darkness Nova. Most badass boss theme ever award goes to....this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INvn92KVfxE Ace Combat 4 Emancipation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfYywF-3 ... re=related Ace Combat 4 Megalith Agnus Dei

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh_13BJTxTU Ace Combat 5 White Noise

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbcpIYnRruA Ace Combat 5 Desert Lightning

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRXfFemc6Oo Ace Combat 5 White Bird Part II

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxfYCKRLICA Ace Combat 5 Ghosts of Razgriz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRXfFemc6Oo Ace Combat 5 The Last Battle. Seriously, if I'm going to post Ace Combat music its a crime not to post this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PomX6iTT39I Warcraft 3 Doomhammer's Legacy. I KEEL FOR YOU!! LOK'TAR OGAR!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlncEGrM130 Warcraft 3 Arcane Echoes. I loved the undead campaign so much in both WC3 games. Seriously, Arthas was so badass in Warcraft 3, Kel'thuzad..and ANUB'ARAK THE TRAITOR KING!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9eIvzP1 ... re=related World of Warcraft Druids of the Flame. Easily my favorite piece of battle music to ever come out of World of Warcraft, I remember hairs on my neck standing up as this played during the Firelands trailer. Must of us mute WoW's music during raids but damn if this theme doesn't make me want to kick fiery molten butt or start a war or something inside a volcano.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GG323s_CaQ World of Warcraft Ulduar Antechamber. The theme so great it was recycled a bajllion times in Cataclysm. Still the best. Da da da dun dun..da da da dun dun dun..DA DA DA DA DUN DUN DUN DA DA DA DUN DUN DUUUUN!! ! I want this played at my funeral to celebrate my ascent to Valhala.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvGia_S3 ... re=related World of Warcraft Pit of Saron. Alas, brave, brave adventurers, your meddling has reached its end. Do you hear the clatter of bone and steel coming up the tunnel behind you? That is the sound of your impending demise. POWEEEEEER...OVERWHELMING.....! !!


I have a lot more I'll share in another post.

Ah, my misspent teen years with my Roland MT-32!

And this one will either make your day.... or ruin it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv2OJmbo ... plpp_video Doom HellKeep. Hey guys its Pantera

Now did she mean ME or "The Fat Man" who wrote the tune...

Here's a little eargasm for you then. >>> http://www.fatman.com/

Oh, I forgot... somebody must post this. I take the responsibility:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CezOHqlXAFY[/youtube]

OhhhhyyyyYYYEAHHH!

You raise a good point. I can't really be bothered editing the original post, but I can imagine it would help even from an internet standpoint as well, so I'll do subsequent videos using the URL tags.



I didn't wanna steal ALL the thunder! I left some for you guys, just don't you go posting [edit] YOU POSTED DEIONARRA'S THEME DAMN YOU! Fine, looks like I'll have to settle for...

Planescape: Torment, Bar Theme


And now for some other stuff that's been sorely missing as well!

Diddy Kong Racing, Jungle Falls

Super Mario RPG, Booster's Tower

Civilization 4, Baba Yetu

Starcraft 2, Terran Themes 1

Super Mario Galaxy, Ghostly Galaxy

I've still got much more. And I'm only picking 1 per video game!



This guy Charlie does some pretty wicked sick covers of games, including Grab Bag:

Speaking of Mario Galaxy...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsAFpdAgh6A Buoy base was my favorite theme. Its so damn heroic and kickass.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk-yc1BH2kA The underwater version is one of my underwater themes for Guild Wars 2, hahaha. The music editor makes the game 200X times more enjoyable for me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PlgfJQ0RS4 Seiken Densetsu 3 Sacrafice Part II - This plays for the first phase of each character's final boss. Here's some neato trivia: the song is actually a more tribal remix of this famous song from its prequel, Secret of Mana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCUdhcRQMC4 (hint: its the dark lich theme)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZYbNlujoEc Heroes of Might and Magic 2 field theme.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67zWnRcNaNc Xenogears Knight of Fire. One of my all time favorite boss themes, you ALWAYs felt like s**t was going to go down when this theme started playing. Especially if you were about to fight Ramsus and Miang!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEilQOiuE_g Secret of Mana Prophecy, one of the overworld themes, I think it played at the end of the game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2FYCiJJpAc Doom II Shawn Got The Shotgun. Can you hear that? An unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time, unsuspecting victims no warnings, no signs...Judgment day the second coming arrives...BEFORE YOU SEE THE LIGHT YOU MUST DIE!! !! *kills a s**t load of mancubi*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnvZ6Dqv7Ws FF3/6 Searching for Friends.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f49JZ9v79iM Final Fantasy Tactics Battle on The Bridge. VICTORY CONDITION: Defeat Dycedarg's elder brother!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6uKHqiIOJA Tactics Ogre Limitation. Brilliant game that's FFT's older brother, literally. The psp remake is amazing and highly recommended.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrbN2y5r-vU Starcraft 1 Zerg theme 1. Best zerg theme, if you disagree you get INFESTED! !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZNwWRP3hOY Star Wars: Dark Forces Detention Center. This music use to freak me out when I was little and playing this game. Our old computer's soundcard made lots of music sound pretty tense to be honest.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg0Tmydj29M Definitely.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT2GEVqsomQ << 10 examples of amazing musicians who used the 3-voice Commodore 64's SID chip to the utmost! (Well, the Bubble Bobble example doesn't belong in the top 10, but the others do.)

Some of those C64 tunes were SO classic, the "C64 Orchestra" has taken to remaking them, as seen here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EeArqKNKgg

The music from Donkey Kong Country for the SNES was always my favorite. I remember when it was released in '94 and putting the code in to the game that would allow the player to select each individual song track and play it in its entirety. I grabbed my tape cassette recorder and recorded every track and played it to death! lol Still to this day I'll sometimes bust out some DKC music on the guitar.
