Well, after a few casual exchanges with Niddy over MSN involving various VG theme tunes, I thought we could do with a thread on that subject - all of the music that you know/used to know from those games that you play!
To start, here are a few from the N64 era - you will probably recognise some of them!

Goldeneye - Frigate:
http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDzPKctYAjE

Banjo Kazooie - Spiral Mountain:
http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzIZ4zezRTQ

If this gets going, I'll pin it up.

I really like the metroid music. On this website, there are a number of metal remixes of the better tracks - while not strictly video game music I thought it would be worth a mention. "Theme/Bryyo", "Torvus Bog", and several others are particularly good.

Metroid you say? Prime's music is some of the most evocative there is:

Phendrana Drifts:


Magmoor Caverns:

And, for the epic funniness that it was at the time:

The DK Rap:

Timesplitters 2: Nightclub.


Timesplitters 2: Anaconda
http://www.youtube.c...h?v=sSkgdBGRvOw

Also one of my favorite tracks is "Zeppelin" from TS3, its a rather nice track but i couldn't find it on Youtube.

Have a ponder through Norgate's Site, plenty of video game music wonders.

I'm pretty fond of the music from the C&C and Half-life series. I've actually got some of the tracks from Frank Klepacki as the songs in Half-life 2. :P

Some epic choices there Doc :D

This one is from a game very few people have played, and I still reckon it's one of the best ones I have ever played:

Metal Arms - Glitch In The System:


PilotWings:
http://www.youtube.c...h?v=1JEueGdQ5yQ

And Jet Force Gemini:
http://www.youtube.c...h?v=gt8v1jV5uMQ

And I purposefully left C&C stuff out so other could add it hobbesy :P

Awe game - should have been a sequel, it was even planned, and then nobody bought the game. Was such a shame.

Anyways, time for some Zelda:

Title theme:


Gerudo Valley:

And the Ocarina itself:

also another one :

C&C3 Scrin Intro Theme

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=8tCwu3TyEEg

though its poor in quality but still have a glimpse, its a lot better to listen with its video.

A lot of the Ape Escape themes were great.
Some of the drum machines just made me instantly think with portals drum and bass.

I have ripped hundreds of game music tracks so this is just the topic for me :D . So many to choose from admittedly that I'll just throw out a few random ones from many completely different genres. The freshly ripped versions sound much better since they have much clearer sound and more powerful bass but whatever Posted Image . I'm gonna skip the C&C music 'cause I'd post a dozen and most of us know them all already anyway :P .

http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=92Z75Bcima4

Half-life 2 episode 2 - VLVX_song24 (admittedly I didn't rip this, I don't even have the game - Stinger pointed it out to me)

http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0TUruIEz7k

Many of the C&C soundtracks as well as HL2 soundtracks are pretty great.

This song is pretty good too. The game is also quite entertaining

Mirror's Edge also has a good soundtrack despite the short gameplay
