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
Magic Johnson's Fast Break (1990)
Title Theme
Tim Follin
Magic Johnson's Fast HIV Breakout
Shitty game but great soundtrack.
Tim Follin seems to have a habit of making awesome themes to horrible games, you should all check out the Puzznic theme.
Classic Follin. Gotta love those arps
"Slammin' Jammin' Basketball ACTION"
Part of it sounds like the music from the Crash Dummies Game Boy game.
The High Score theme is even better!
Damn, this sounds like it came straight from a Keygen. Kudos!
If only Tim Follins had been hired by a more competent video game company..
Software Creations has made some good games like Solstice and Plok, but they made some really bad ones too, their licensed games were usually terrible, with a few exceptions like Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage and Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball. At least you could always count on the Follin bros to deliver an amazing soundtrack though.
I'm surprised you didn't pick the "High Score" music theme from this game. It's easily more dynamic and memorable.
ティムフォリン節炸裂！ まさに職人の技ですな～
This theme by Tim Follin was easily the best thing about this game. Probably the worst basketball game I played, I still remember the big Pepsi ad right in the middle of the court. Because of that, I used to call it the Pepsi basketball game.
Tim Follin is a genius when it comes to making music on limited hardware. One of my personal favorite composers on limited hardware. The stuff he could do is absolutely mind blowing.
@Eric C. And his soundtrack for Gauntlet 3 on the C64, fantastic. His brother Geoff was amazing too; I still listen to the C64 music for Sly Spy Secret Agent with awe.
Talent wasted on a crappy game again :<
