List Your Favorite Game Soundtrack
<div class="IPBDescription">Music For No Lives and Sad People</div> I think the all time classic game soundtrack, I'm sure most people will agree upon is the N64's <i>Zelda: The Ocarina of Time</i>. All the tunes were really catchy, and you can't help humming them throughout the day and at school. A musical delight, a delectable audio feast for even the most demanding of ears... Like fine wine and elegant ladies dressed in posh frocks. Or maybe not (ahem).
Anyway, lets talk about games, and their soundtracks, which ones you like, and which ones you used to like but now hate (because some idiot spammed the mic channel with it while you were playing NS).
Has anyone heard of a game called Hardwars? It had a fantastic techno soundtrack, infact, I'm playing it (the music not the game) in my cd-drive. Banging.

Apidya - Excellent side-scrolling shooter on the Amiga, with a fab technoish soundtrack
Monkey Island 1 & 2 - Nuff said
StarCraft - the terran and protoss music anyway. Brood War's music sounds good too, but I've not gotten far enough in the game to have heard much of it
Imperium Galactica II - Fluffing excellent game, and with a nice atmospheric "ruling the cosmos" kind of soundtrack
Not Half-Life... Tha hacking game.
final fantasy 3 (whatever it is, the one with moogles that are playable and espers <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ) and final fantasy 7 were pretty enjoyable.
Also got 3 cds of Chrono Trigger music
The opening song to Full Throttle is The Gone Jackels - Legacy
Basically if it's symphonic I enjoy it. All of the Final Fantasy Symphonic OST's are godlike, they do Nobou Uematsu the justice he deserves.

ARrrrrrrgggghhhh, those tunes to me, are like kryptonite to superman.
I feared that someone would mention super mario. Brilliant tunes, but start to do your head in after a while.
I could list many games, but I'll only list the few that stick in my head:
Bubble Bobble
Turrican (1 or 2)
Quake (amospheear)
<edit> Oh, and Xenon 2 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Booya my freind! I love em both so much! I can't count the number of wasted hours I've spent just standing around in my room, listening to Humming the Bassline on an endless loop, perfecting my imitations of all the character's dances. Yes I have no life.
I'll also have to go with Super Mario Bros 3, because of the music for the chalenges, I have ectually made up severall sets of lyrics to go along with the tune, and they all have the word "cats" in them over and over at some point(don't ask)
we have it installed in the CS lab at myschool, upon map switch you see everyone with headphones start drumming along with it (fn love that musick <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
its especialy great after a resounding victory <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
One of my friends was listening to Megaman music, and I could easily identify both the number and the stages. How sad my life is.

When you lose its like resident evil... Whens its loading up its cool to.
For awhile, I was heavy addicted to the music from MDK2; opening track to Planescape and Sam & Max stick out as well.
Favourite track is probably is probably from Crusader: No Remorse; MODs rule:

-then there's also a segment in the Space board theme for Pinball Dreams (Pinball 2000 for PC version), that's never left my mind
-AND THE MUSIC OF IN RUBACAVA IN GRIM FANDANGO!!!
-also liked the Fox and Falcon theme for Smash Bros.
