DooMer 4ever Posted October 18, 2002 What do you think is the best game music, or do you like it at all. I like castlevania (all of them, well not castlevania64) music most, it's exellent. Other games that have great music are: Wanderers from ys III Megaman (especially II and some of the tracks in III) Final Fantasies (VI has the best music) Sonic 1 and 2 A couple of songs in Alundra Doom1 A few songs in Donkey Kong series on SNES Monkey Island title Shadow of the beast III (Amiga) And many other games I cannot remember now, most on nes. As you can see, there aren't many new games in my list: that's because they have boring music or not music at all. I really miss the old days when games had good music. Nowadays they often have ambient sounds. BORING... 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted October 18, 2002 I thought Unreal and Half-Life both had excellent music (also the add-ons/follow-ups to these games). Deus Ex had some good stuff too. I sometimes listen to the music from these games even when not playing them. 0 Share this post Link to post

Disorder Posted October 18, 2002 The soundtrack for American McGee's Alice is superb! Amazon.com Chris Vrenna's soundtrack to the American McGee's Alice video game is fittingly twisted. Sounds created with toy instruments and percussion, music boxes, clocks, doors, and sampled female voices (including Jack Off Jill singer Jessicka) are manipulated into nightmarish soundscapes. A harpsichord and a clock ticking over a bed of rhythmic effects invoke a sense of Victorian horror, while also playing off of modern motifs. Fans of the game and connoisseurs of dark and spooky music will be delighted by Vrenna's surreal score. --Bryan Reesman This quote is the best way to describe the music. Twisted, spooky and ambient. It's lovely. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted October 18, 2002 This first list is for just down right awesome music Wipeout Wipeout 2097 (or Wipeout XL to you Americans) Wip3out Medal of honour Medal of honour: Underground Medal of honour: Allied Assault Alien Vs Predator Alien Vs Predator 2 Jedi Knight (it's like the "best of" Star Wars music) System shock 2 Thief: The dark project Thief: The metal age Deus Ex. And this list is just for good seen setting music: Doom PSX Doom 64 Quake Silent hill Resident evil and this is just for catchy tunes Wolfenstein 3D Wolfenstein: Spear of Desteny Goldeneye The Ultimate Doom Doom II Final Doom The Secret of Monkey Island Monkey Island 2: Le Chucks Revenge The Curse of Monkey Island Escape from Monkey Island Perfect Dark Super Mario World that's all I could think of for now. P.S. There is nothing wrong with ambient sounds; badly timed music can sometimes make a complete mess of the atmosphere, where your better of with silence, or well used ambient sounds 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMer 4ever Posted October 18, 2002 I never got to listen much of alice's music. I bought the game but my computer couldn't handle the craphics even on lowest settings :( playing it was pain and suffering. Even Max Payne worked better and the minimum system requirements are smaller in Alice. Ambient sounds CAN be good and atmosfearic, but I think that they are overused. And I wish they would include music more often in games, you can always turn the music off if you don't like it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ichor Posted October 19, 2002 Actraiser Castlevania 4 Ogre Battle Super Metriod (especially Lower Norfair) Final Fantasy II (4) Final Fantasy 5 Final Fantasy III (6) Chrono Trigger Surprisingly, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest has a few decent ones, although some are too short, making them too repetitive. Lufia (namely the Fortress of Doom music) Then there's Doom, Doom 2, Heretic, and Hexen of course. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lizardcommando Posted October 19, 2002 I like some video game music, namely from the Doom, Megaman, and Final Fantasy series (6,7,some of 8 and 9) But I really like Quake2's music. EDIT: Oh, I forgot one more game series that has good music, METAL SLUG!!! 0 Share this post Link to post

A couple of them showed up at the CGC, drawn in by the promise of a DDR tourney and prizes provided by NVIDIA and Bawls. They were prety easy to point out; skinny guys with bad hair among a group of overweight/bespectacled/Chinese guys. That, and the fact that they kicked the asses of all challengers. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
