A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
NES
Platoon (1988)
Game Over
Naoki Kodaka
I used to sit and listen to this for an hour on repeat back in the day. Even recorded it with a mic and cassette to have it on tape. I wish Anamanaguchi would treat this
Supra darkly Vietnam was a horrible time for our parents
Vietnam war 1957-1975 longest war in history
this are perfect for a ending theme!
I used to die on purpose so I could listen to this while playing with my army men.
What kind of song is this? I would be happy if someone named this song because somebody needs to learn this on piano!
Thats what i said
Awesome! Still waiting for a live version from youtubers.
I just wondered why the Splatoon cover looks so different...
You know you fail at Game Design when your play testers think listening to the Game Over music is better than playing your game.
I imagine everyone chilling on a beach somewhere, not giving a crap about the war. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
My god, this really hammers home the fact that you lost, everyone died, and it's all your fault :(
Couple of months ago I played this on Commodore 64 and I prefer music from that version. This is nice as well, good choice for a list.
Actually sounds similar to the lava levels in dkc2
I remember this game when i was a kid
Why is this Game Over music? Would totally believe this as an ending theme.
In war, game over is your ending.
This is the only ending anyone ever saw in this game
I always love game over screen music! (dk country 3 is my favourite) This would've fit perfect as end credit music btw!
Great movie, okay game. This is my favorite theme in the game, you almost don't want to quit the screen and retry. It seems like Kodaka didn't have the classic Sunsoft instruments yet (mainly the bass) since his later compositions are very unique on the NES, you can usually quickly guess when it's a game composed by him.
Well, I think that might be because this is a port of the Commodore 64 version (or maybe the ZX Spectrum version,) originally by Johnathon Dunn (which does not seem to be on YouTube for some reason, I've looked everywhere.)
How many other Best Picture-winning films have had video game adaptations?
@LinkMarioSamus Rocky for Sega Master System. Another not so great game released the same year as Platoon's NES port
