heres a sweet metal remix of my fave - lower norfair

and my second favorite theme - kraid theme from nes

edit: i cant figure out how to embed these linksā€¦ ok i found youtube versions insteadā€¦

I have entirely too many videogame soundtracks. They really donā€™t get the credit they deserve, especially compared with movie soundtracks (Marvel still learned nothing from that Every Frame A Painting video).


When I played this level I honestly couldnā€™t tell what was music and what was environmental sounds. I kinda hope they donā€™t make another Splinter Cell, I really have no confidence in Ubisoft at this point.

This. A game about piecing together fragmented memories puts fragmented music front and centre. Movies canā€™t do this, neither can TV shows. Videogames do this.

Valve just announced theyā€™re allowing soundtracks to be bought and downloaded without the base game, and they can be available in FLAC, but theyā€™ll be MP3 (probably 160 kbps) by default.

Phew :stuck_out_tongue: Good.

Although not an official soundtrack, this guy does guitar playthroughs of entire games, with Mega Man Series being a common one. Sounds amazing (Mega Man 2 on NES is my all time favorite game).

Heā€™s also on bandcamp.

Theyā€™ve had soundtracks but theyā€™ve only been available as DLC, requiring you to buy and install the game before you can access it. Now theyā€™ll be available as separate products.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City - Wave 103

Portal - Iā€™m Still Alive

Doom Soundtrack

An old one: Flimboā€™s Quest

One of the most addictive songs: Tetris Theme Song

Good sleeping playlist :blush:

I jam the Persona, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and Resident Evil soundtracks a lot.

Shoji Meguro is a god among men he tops himself each soundtrack. Iā€™ll listen to it around my friends and they arenā€™t even aware itā€™s from a video game.

I like :+1:. Added! Lol

Is there somewhere to find the full versions? Just checked Spotify and tidal and only the piano versions. Still good but not that same pop.
