Hello everybody, a post in a different thread made be start this thread. Everybody involved in retro gaming has some favourite tunes out of his/her favourite games. Show us what your favourite retro game soundtrack is! Post single songs or whole games in which the soundtrack captured you especially. I hope this thread gets many replies for I think every retro gamer (especially those with music affinity) knows some musical pearls and jewels. And I think it's worthwhile to list those up ! 8) Let me start with a whole game, whose soundtrack really captivated me intensely: GoldenEye 64 Almost every tune in this game is a banger - I like to listen through the remade Soundtrack that's availlable on youtube in many forms. But even the original soundtrack has a certain spiy feel to it and had us play this shooter for years in a row. Besides many RPG-Soundtracks, I consider the Soundtrack of GoldenEye 64 one of my al time favourites. Now let's go - let us see how many great compositions we're able to round up ! 8) Your's stonedly Bizz |

Apart from rhythm games, the best example for me of a game (and entire series, really) that's so characterized by its music is Katamari Damacy. Its eclectic soundtrack comprised of the shibuya-kei genre's expansive sounds elevates an experience that's already bizarre into something much more memorable. For a lot of players outside of Japan, the series was their introduction to this style of music, so it's left a strong impression on many. Right now where I am, it's a rainy, gray, and altogether dreary day, so I think that's why I started to select tracks to share to reflect that. Choosing "the best" or even a favorite group of song tracks is near impossible for someone like me, but the ones below all stand out to me favorably. Animal Crossing: City Folk - Stale Cupcakes Ape Escape - Time Station Chulip - A Single Guy's Serenade Digimon World - File City (Night) Final Fantasy IX - Frontier Dali Village Gitaroo Man - The Legendary Theme (Acoustic) Kingdom Hearts II - Lazy Afternoons OutRun - Last Wave Tetrisphere - Sappy We Love Katamari - Angel Rain |

Final Fantasy Legend II for me. Besides being the game I cut my teeth on when it came to RPGs, it had an amazing soundtrack that pushed the limits of what a Game Boy could do. I also still consider the boss music to be in my top boss battle music of all time. Struggle to The Death - Final Fantasy Legend II Thinking of other retro boss battle songs I love World Revolution - Chrono Trigger (Also made into an excellent musical song alongside the rest of the OST) End of a Thought - Tales of Symphonia Eternity - Blue Dragon King Dedede's Theme - Kirby Superstar |
