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 links… ok i found youtube versions instead…

I have entirely too many videogame soundtracks. They really don’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 couldn’t tell what was music and what was environmental sounds. I kinda hope they don’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 can’t do this, neither can TV shows. Videogames do this.

Valve just announced they’re allowing soundtracks to be bought and downloaded without the base game, and they can be available in FLAC, but they’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).

He’s also on bandcamp.

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

Grand Theft Auto Vice City - Wave 103

Portal - I’m Still Alive

Doom Soundtrack

An old one: Flimbo’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. I’ll listen to it around my friends and they aren’t even aware it’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.
