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
Asterix
Rome
Reminds me a ton of VVVVVV!
Overlord Laharl Alberto José Gonzáles is a great composer. :) For the past half year, I've been arranging and practising his Lucky Luke (GB/GBC) soundtrack on piano.
i used to see this guy in my french textbooks.
song reminds me of the star level from Mario 6 Golden Coins...
It's made by bouncing the sound up and back down an octave really quickly. Because the more you know...
Strange, this sounds familiar, was this song ever used in some sort of flash loop?
when in rome do as the romans do *takes out axe and pitchfork*
ah dude this is 80s dope
too cliche
@VGKing You mean the "SID chip chords"? I'll have to disagree, that sound, to me, IS old timey gaming in musical form.
@SupraDarky @VGKing Another game that makes heavy use of that effect in it's soundtracks is Dizzy for the NES. Every track has that noise in it..
sounds like a kickass keygen tune
Funny... I thought most of the license stuff is horrible. The music in this game certainly isn't. Can't judge a book by its cover, I guess.
I fuckin love Asterix, I'm 25 & still have all the books, fuck selling them, I'm guna read them to my future kids- Obilix: "Hunt those bore Dogmatix, I'm hungry as a mother fucker"
Never played this game before, never heard this song before; already love it
This reminds me of a credits theme... i like it
This song is just pure awesomenessezzzzzeesx
Dude you even got Asterix. Wow this game was good enough for me and yeah, I remember this song.
And I was so certain it was Luigi after some hair dye and a new hat!
So catchy!
I think the NES Micro Machines game used that rubbery music effect, too. It was the opposite of Indiana Jones -- great game with some really irritating music.
The version here is a step too high and a step too fast. The credits theme, however, is at the correct pitch and speed.
It's my mistake then.
hmm.. my mistake, I wanted to post my comment as a reply to nintendork1's comment.. here it doesn't seem to make that much sense ^^
Thanks, Captain Obvious!
just to make sure you know. that guy on the title is Asterix! ;)
If I'm not mistaken!
First time I hear that theme but I already like it! Surprisingly, this game was made by Infogrames.
There was some really crappy game that used it but had amazing music.... Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on the NES. The Taito one, not the Ubisoft one. That game may be one of the worst games ever made, but had some of the best music on an 8-bit system.
I guess we'll be looking forward to that one later then :P
This kicks buttix!
I actually love that sound. It reminds me of my Atari ST, which used it to excess. :P This track's really good, as was VGM 219, are there any other gems in this game?
lol the guy on the title scrren looks a like luigi if he was a viking XD
I thought I was the only one who hated that arpeggio effect. Maybe because I always associate it to LJN and they made terrible games. Effect aside, this tune is pretty cool.
Groovy
