Game Music

[Pouso-G]

This thread is for the discussion or posting of your favourite titles of game music. I've searched the forum before, but there was nothing with this topic. As I'm a head to toe Commodore 64 freak I'll post my favourite top 10 8-BIT-SID-HITS here. I have to mention that I like whaky noise and sounds! That's the list:

01. Koji Kondo - Super Mario Bros. (Overworld) (NES) (Nobody can top this classic)
02. Rob Hubbard - Commando (Subtune 1 - C64 - 1985)
03. Matthew Kane - Zak McKracken (Subtune 1 - C64 - 1988)
04. Mark Cooksey - Ghosts 'n' Goblins (Subtune 2 - C64 - 1986)
05. Edwin van Santen (R.I.P. † 24.05.2006) - Airwolf Mix (C64 - 1988)
06. Rob Hubbard - The Last V8 (Subtune 1 - C64 - 1985)
07. Chris Hülsbeck & Ramiro Vaca - R-Type (Subtune 4 - C64 - 1988) (Original: Irem Sound Team - Battle Theme (Stage 1))
08. Criss Grigg & David Lawrence - Maniac Mansion (Subtune 1 - C64 - 1987)
09. Rob Hubbard - Ninja (C64 - 1986)
10. Dwayne Bakewell & Glenn Rune Gallefoss - Chaos 2000 (C64 - 2000)

You can look here (http://www.coolrom.com/forums/showthread.php?p=84924#post84924) for another post in "Favourite Song?" with music I did. It's not doing any promotion for myself, really! It's because there was no thread. You could even ask for music editing issues, if want to do any remixes, own music or other audio related problems like converting.

As promised and nearly forgotten there are some links here posted in the thread.

I have to agree with you on the Quake 2 soundtrack. I had the game for playstation and I loved the music I even recorded it on tape from playstation, Sonic Mayhem did a great job of putting that soundtrack together. Would you happen to know if and where I could get my hands on that soundtrack? I know that the part of the soundtrack is on the PC disk but the playstation version was the best it had more tracks to listen to. :)

If I like the game there usually a few themes in it I'd like listening to just cause it reminds me of the games, but there are alot of theme I just like cause they sounds kick ***, not to mention there some some really awesome mixes of them out there

[Darth Gazak]

Can't beat the part in Snake Eater where You climb THAT ladder, and the theme tune gradually fades in...poignant.

The music in Doom is excellent, matches the mood of the game brilliantly.
