Video Game Music

Have we had this before? I don't care!

I don't know what it is, maybe some weird thing from playing video games as a kid, but I fucking love video game music. The Zelda music especially, its so good.
I came across this:

I will have to go when they come to London next to get my video game music fix!

Anyone else have this nerdy addiction?

I may or may not have downloaded the fable soundtrack.

Which is possibly worse than liking harry potter music :doh:

The original mario music - timeless classic.

DER DER DER DER DER DER! BER!

I rather like the F Zero music too. That's power metal at its finest. :lol:

For game music it doesn't get better than Streets of Rage 2. Especially level 2 and 7.

The Golden Axe soundtrack was pretty cool. A metal band actually covered the whole soundtrack, but I can't remember who they were! :doh:

Megadriver! They did a fucking good job too!

Yeah F-Zero has amazing music.
I've covered a couple of tracks from that game.

Battletoads in Battlemaniacs on the SNES had awesome music too.

There's a band called Neskimos that do alot of metal covers of computer game tunes.

100% yes. I do love a OST. Anyone listen to The Black Mages? They are amusing.

I love computer game music. I made some for my Music For New Media assignment last year, for Ratchet & Clank, it was great fun.

The music for the Ice Cap and Lava Reef Zone in Sonic 3 & Knuckles is amazing and makes me very excited. And yes indeed to Streets of Rage 2, that is a mighty game with great musical goodness. And the music for Ryu, Ken and Guile's stages from Street Fighter II are pure brilliance. But of course Final Fantasy VII has the greatest video game soundtrack ever written, unbelievably epic and superb.

megadriver are great fun. i have to agree that streets of rage had the best music by far though. zelda - ocarina of time had some pretty good stuff also

Act 2 of the first Sonic the Hedgehog game.
