Favorite video game music~

Yeah, I wanted to post a silly poll-type topic. Figured this one would be better than "Who has the cutest avatar?" (I vote Triple Lei.)

I'm sure I can't be the only person here who is really into game music. I've managed to amass a fairly sizable VGM CD collection over the past few years that I'm quite happy with. (Although it's nothing compared to my friend Xanadujin, who has something like $2000+ worth of Japanese VGM CDs)
Anyways, out of the albums I own, I can say my favorites are all of the Virtual On soundtracks (VOOM, VOOT, and Force), Seiken Densetsu (Secret of Mana) 2 and 3, Valkyrie Profile, and Sonic Adventure 1 & 2.
Recently I made a CD-R of the Radiant Silvergun soundtrack, which is awesome as well. I wish I could get the original CD for that, but it's insanely rare and in very high demand since the composer has become quite popular. (Maybe I should try to get the actual GAME first.)
I wish there was more music available for old-school stuff, too. Lots of old Konami 16-bit games had killer music that was never released in album form. Even classic 8-bit stuff shouldn't be overlooked... the Megaman games do some incredible stuff with the crappy little NES sound chip.
Any other opinions?

 

Check out the original SMS dungeon music from Phantasy Star .
Awesome stuff .

 

like the VF2 akira stage music and some other stages can't remember. And the VO soundtracks. Lastly Super robot wars music /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

 

Heheh, this thread always pops up on every board. Anyway, here are some of my favorites:

Shenmue I+II, JSR, JSRF, Chrono Trigger, Suikoden I+II, Castlevania series (especially Dracula X RoB), MegaMan 1-3, Panzer Dragoon, FF4&6, Goemon series, Ys I+II.

Of course there's more but I think these are the major ones. I really dig them old Rockman tunes too, my favorite being Snake Man's theme.

 

Favorite soundtrack of all time has to be Lunar 1 on the SegaCD. The dragon's dungeon music was the most inspirational music EVER. LoL The whole soundtrack was just brilliant

Chrono Trigger's music was excellent as well, along with Phantasy Star 4.

Celes' Opera theme music was classic on Final Fantasy 3(US).

 

hmmm never heard of panzer dragoon's music for a long time. It's one of the games with better music in Saturn hehe.

 

Ooh, I really liked the first Grandia's theme!

 

Hehe too many to name:

Soul Edge/Blade, Tekken 2, Every Megaman game I've played, Castlevania 3, Medal of Honor (PC), Street Fighter 2, Actraiser.

I also liked the soundtrack for Giga Wing 2. I was pretty surprised actually. I suggest you check it out if you have a DC.

Peace,

All 3 of the outrun songs. The Space Harrier theme was sweet too!

 

If you can count PC stuff as videogames, I love the OMF 2097, Tyrian, Jazz Jackrabbit, and Total Annihilation soundtracks. VF2 isn't exactly good, but it sure does stay in your head /versus/images/icons/tongue.gif

 

Total annihilation had an awesome soundtrack...what else..
Rocket Ranger on the Amiga
Mechwarrior 2, 3 (thought 4 and mercs was kinda weak)
Lunar - sega CD

 

My favourites:
Stardust / Super Stardust {amiga}
Microcosm {amiga CD32)
Body Blows serie {amiga}
N2O, Wipeout / Wipeout 2097 (XL in US) / Wip3out / Wipeout Fusion (not as good as in previous titles in serie, but still really good), Rez, Frequency, Rollcage, Ghost in the Shell, Ridge Racer Revolution, Rage Racer, Street Fighter III:3rd Strike, N-Gen Racing, Motorhead, Rapid Racer, Soul Blade (Soul Edge in US), Soul Calibur, Suikoden II, FFVII, Chrono Cross... and of course GAMERA 2000 (PSX - Panzer Dragoon like shooter, released only in Japan)

 

Panzer Dragoon had awesome music...
to be honest, however, there is not a lot of video game music I would listen to on its own merit.
