One of the most important parts of a game, in my opinion, is the music. So I ask you, what is your favorite video game music of all time? whether it be 8 bit or some of the crap coming out now. Also if your favorites are things like Mario or Zelda do you like the 8 bit or the more recent renditions?

Thief II had some pretty cool music.

Kindof hard, industrial... fit the ominous steampunk medieval game pretty well.

Dave Mirra BMX had good tracks, but not 'video game music'

Elephent rave had awesome music for a flash game.

Anything Jeremy Soule has written kicks all ass.

The PS1 game Beyond Good and Evil had music in some areas that was so good I would simply sit my character in those areas so I could listen to it while reading or doing the dishes. I still have save points for different tracks.

I later discovered you can download or buy the soundtracks to games, but I find it loses a little something not having to jump your hovercraft boat over a secret rock so you can listen to track 4 on repeat.

Anything from Sonic. Especially the classics and Unleashed.

The Metal Gear Series also had some pretty kick ass soundtracks to them.

Ace Combat 4 soundtrack, and pokemon yellow's champion theme

BG&E and Chrono Trigger are my favorite video game soundtracks ever. The music that plays when you go to the kingdom of Zeal is a permenant memory.

Final Fantasy 7 had a pretty kick ass soundtrack too. Especially if you listen to the version that is played by orchestra instead of synthesized instruments.

Corridors of Time is an amazing track

Lufia 2 had a pretty sick OST
Chrono Cross had some awesome songs
Xenogears (+other Yasunori Mitsuda work)
Most of Nobuo Uematsu's work
Ace Attorney Series ofc

I think this thread has been created before

Is it? Oh well. I'm trying my best to make the forum more active.

Time for the list of a fan boy :P

FFVII (Most FF but VII is the best)
Mario - 8 bit
Metriod (series)
CSOTN
FZero (series)
Mega Man 2 (nothing get me more energized then all the redos and remixes and even the org 8 -bit period)

Mass Effect also has a really good soundtrack, Red Alert 3 has some good stuff un there. Little known game Arcanum was pretty good as well.
