Some of you know I'm a big retro gamer, and some of you know I'm highly keen on video game music. So I came up with this.

Post soundtracks that make you travel back in time to the good old days!

I'll kick off with a timeless classic that will bring back many fond memories to many:



To clarify: vintage is subjective of course, but a good guideline could be things you played in your childhood.

Commodore SIXTY FOOOOOOOOOOOUR


Two absolute classics from my RTS history:

Good going boys!

The soundtrack that kicked off FPS gaming as we know it; the level music to Doom's E1L1: Hangar:



(also check out the excellent metal remake Sonic Clang made for the Doom 3 Classic mod:)

Pretty much the only FPS I played for 5 years, still not much has come near it on the greatness scale.

Here is a selection of Timesplitters tracks. I tried to pick out a few, but it's quite hard because I like them all :P

Quote

As long as the dark foundation of our nature, grim in its all-encompassing egoism, mad in its drive to make that egoism into reality, to devour everything and to define everything by itself, as long as that foundation is visible, as long as this truly original sin exists within us, we have no business here and there is no logical answer to our existence.
Imagine a group of people who are all blind, deaf and slightly demented and suddenly someone in the crowd asks, "What are we to do?"... The only possible answer is, "Look for a cure". Until you are cured, there is nothing you can do.
And since you don't believe you are sick, there can be no cure.

Here's another one; the massively popular PC equivalent to Sonic the Hedgehog, well-known for its acid jazz soundtrack:

^Personally I found all the USA themes crap, but the other ones are definite favourites, yeah. How did we forget those, indeed? :xD:
