Posted May 24, 2007 I love these posts - anything retro or nastalgic is great with me...however what I also love is music, especially Film and Game music - I have many, many tracks from the titles below (inc remixes and reinterpretations) so here goes.... Classics Robocop Amstrad CPC & Speccy - Themain title screen music had nothing to do with Basil Poledouris classic score from the fim but it was a beautifull and haunting piece of music nonetheless. - Especially true as it was coded and rendered on the 8-bit platform. Sonic2, Streets of Rage 2 & Thunderforce IV Three of the Megadrives greatest peices of gaming music (in my opinion) - Classic. Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 Absolutely fantastic patriaotic, eerie and climactic orchestral music delivered by Hans Zimmers protege; Harry Gregson-Williams. God of War A thunderous and epic soundtrack (as it should be). Final Fantasy X Epic and beautifull (especially "Ending Theme" on disc 4 of the album) Biggest letdowns Chrono TriggerEveryone always raves about Chrono Trigger when talking about great game music - and while I appreciate its all about specific tastes - I just really couldn't enage with the tracks on any level and found them quite annoying. I must admit while having a quick listen to the tracks again prior to writing this post I keep imagining a player options screen when the Chrono Trigger tracks play especially track 4 Guardia Millenial Fair - Very dissapointed. Zelda While I love the games I don't think I can stand to hear that townsville music again. To me the best that Zelda music has ever been was as featured in the Twilight Princess trailer - as Zelda raises the Master Sword out of the ground and the wind is swirling around him... chills man, chills.... now thats EPIC - thats MAJESTY - - otherwise I don;t think thats the Link theme has ever been suitably rendered in as big a way as it should have been - they've all been a bit "hey-ho / so-so" for me.

Peace Marximus Again you said thunderforce iv and therefore i like you. but myself i think sonic and knuckles had slightly better music than sonic 2 but They were all great. I always preferred the music in the first metal gear solid to the other 2. Have you ever played robocop vs terminator for the megadrive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24, 2007 Have you ever played robocop vs terminator for the megadrive? QUOTE] Absolutely - and I have that very version of the game (as much as I'm a Ninty head (kinda) nowadays...that version was the best out there, it kicked all sorts of ass and was bloddy as hell. Sorry SNES purists but your version made Robo look FAT (see image below) See I always back my claims up with evidence (where I can ) "We" as in SEGA Megadrive geeks (like me) had the better looking RoboCop you guys had the better Batman from Batman Returns - that was just the rules back in the good ol' days. I remember I had my mate over for a sleep over with we were about 15/16 or something. I was attempting blast through the game and show him that the final boss (Cyberdyne) was infact a giant T800 head. (He didn't believe me you see) We both did an all nighter just to stay up and see the ending. I remember giving a running commentary right through the game up until the end credits. I looked over at my mate and the fecker was asleep .......doh! Peace Marximus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24, 2007 Ha yes i have played both too. the snes one seems more storybased well...at least it tells you the story but it really isn't that good. i discovered the game was made AFter the megadrive one but it looks and sounds far worse and of course being a nintendo console it had no blood. The megadrive one was a classic:) I never thought i'd have this conversation with someone nobody here has heard of the game or the awesome thunderforce iv:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24, 2007 Absolute Classic games - Although I own these carts any way I do hope they both feature on the VC real soon - that way everone can appreciate how great these are. I also hope for the games below to feature soon: Road Rash Trilogy Flashback and Another World Ranger X That would be class! In the meantime I've included some shots of these two mighty games to let everyone in on these gems - that apparantly only we know about Peace Marximus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2007 ha well i mentioned the 2 games before and got no reaction(or they are ignoring me either way:)) Is there really any chance for the 2 of them though? Technosoft no longer seem to exist. So that may be a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7, 2007 http://www.zreomusic.com/ Absoloutly great, recommende. Quality Zelda musik. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2007 Sorry this isnt as niche as some but I love the music from the Sonic games, even the 360 one! ESPECIALLY any of the Dr.Robotnik songs (Eggman who?) atm Ive been listening to the Boss Music for "Sonic 3D Flickies Island" (Terrible game, great tunes though!) Its been on for about 3 days via the sound test screen, LOVE IT!! Any other Robotnik love? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2007 shadow of the colossus hands down beautifully crafted power and evocative soundtrack, coincides with your emotions of regret and sorrow. kow otani is a genius. final fantasy music cannot go unmentined, kneels to nobou otematsu, he to is a fantastic composer. makes music a big a part of the game as the dialogue. red steel as much as it pains me to say had a exaggerated, but still very entertaining soundtrack.

Posted July 18, 2007 Streets of rage 2, it was wwwwaaayyyy ahead of its time and still good to listen to it now, thunderforce 4, megaman, i forget which one it is, i think its from megaman X.......i could cheat and say DJ max portable 2, but thats a music game....so thats unfair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2007 I think the best music I've ever heard in a game is Golden Sun. For a Game Boy game, the music was amazing ... sometimes I turn it on just to listen to the file select music! And some very honourable mentions for Streets of Rage, Sonic 2 and Super Mario World! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 22, 2007 Streets of rage 2, it was wwwwaaayyyy ahead of its time and still good to listen to it now Ah, always nice to see some Rage lovin'. Revenge of Shinobi has a similar style by the same composer which is also excellent. I'm currently listening to the soundtrack for the original Phoenix Wright on DS. I totally didn't expect such a good soundtrack for this game. With regards to the Chronotrigger comments earlier, I find it really difficult to understand how anybody can't see the absolute genius behind it. I appreciate everyone has different tastes but it's like hearing someone say they dislike chocolate. Playing Chronotrigger was one of the few gaming experiences I've had where I've put the controller down frequently for many hours to just listen to the music. After 30 hours of play, I was still tapping my feet to the combat music, which says something for an RPG. The End of Time music is perfect in its tranquility, the despair and loss of hope is practically tangible in the Ruins and I still get shivers listening to the Zeal tune. Wow.

Posted September 4, 2007 Sonic and the Secret Rings has some great music, even the main theme once it gets going. Some stupid places in the game they've used it though... Evil foundry is my fave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 26, 2007 It is only now, after all those years, that I found out that the (original 8-bit) metroid title theme was actually extremely good. I always just used to skip it and immediately get to the game. I am ashamed of myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
