Menchise Posted November 4, 2002 Report Posted November 4, 2002 I'm surprised that there hasn't already been a topic on this in the forum. What's your favourite game music?
AllenKG2001 Posted November 4, 2002 Report Posted November 4, 2002 At the moment my brother is recording some tracks he's composed which I will be using in BCM. Very space clasical music and sounds amazing. He'll be doing scores for planetry, combat and just flying about music. They really are great to listen to and currently these are my favourite. This is what my brother hopes to get into is composing music and I think the way he's going, he is well on the way.
Joel Schultz Posted November 4, 2002 Report Posted November 4, 2002 Total Annihilation BCM:Gold (maybe -- it ain't ready yet but what I heard sounds good)
goaliejerry Posted November 4, 2002 Report Posted November 4, 2002 SC3000, smooth jazz! Mario Bros, the orginal that came with nintendo, its the theme song of my youth!
Cmdr Nova Posted November 4, 2002 Report Posted November 4, 2002 I don't really know. I put in my own music half the time I can. I'm a big big music fan. The Sims. The rock music with lyrics in simspeak. That was friggen hilarious. I like the BCM music, although I've been adding my own tunes to the mix. It's ended up with a lot of energy and stuff. More of a combat music compilation or just music that you'd expect an old mercenary to listen to, whilst hanging about Pixan. Here's my list: code:Avril Lavigne - Unwanted Blink 182 - Man Overboard Breaking Benjamin - Polyamorous Disturbed - Prayer Eminem - Lose Yourself Korn (feat. Garbage) - Freak On A Leash [Techno Remix] Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff Linkin Park - 1stp Klosr Linkin Park - By Myself Linkin Park - FOrgotten Linkin Park - Krwlng Linkin Park - Pts.Of.Athrty Linkin Park - Rnw@y Linkin Park - Runaway No Doubt - I'm Just A Girl P.O.D. - Sattelite Trust Company - Downfall Trust Company - Figure 8
Kevin Trotter Posted November 4, 2002 Report Posted November 4, 2002 Madden 2003 has added some rock tracks to the normally repulsive hip hop tracks that have been the norm. I'm an old guy but I really like a few called "Suk It Up" by hed"Just Like you" by Good Charlotte and "Awnaw" by Nappy Roots and POD. My respect for whippersnappers has soared.
Commander Elio Jason Posted November 4, 2002 Report Posted November 4, 2002 BCG music. i heard the combat theme and was blown away.
Menchise Posted November 4, 2002 Author Report Posted November 4, 2002 This is my list of favourite theme music from games (at the moment, anyway): 1. Crusader: No Remorse 2. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 3. Wing Commander 4. Betrayal at Krondor 5. Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness 6. In Pursuit of Greed 7. Deus Ex 8. Castlevania 9. Dune II 10. Rise of the Triad
Guest Grayfox Posted November 5, 2002 Report Posted November 5, 2002 madden 2003 definitely has some good tunage going on. i even d/l them onto my HD for keeps. nhl 2003 has some decent tunes as well. not many new game music has really caught my attention or favor. i like techno, but not while im playing most of the time... some good speed or death metal does just fine. as for older games, the first metroid rocked, as did the first megaman. final fantasy has always had great music, and i was always partial to ninja gaiden tunes as well. good topic idea mench
Kevin Trotter Posted November 5, 2002 Report Posted November 5, 2002 Fox you are a man of great taste, I'll have to check out NHL ASAP or whenever I get tired of UT2003.
AllenKG2001 Posted November 5, 2002 Report Posted November 5, 2002 What speed/death metal you into GrayFox? For some reason I've been listening to my old Strapping Young Lad CD's recently. They rock!
Guest Grayfox Posted November 5, 2002 Report Posted November 5, 2002 napalm death and cannible corpse mostly. sometimes ill go oldschool with some SOD. nothing like some speed metal to get the blood pumpin
Kevin Trotter Posted November 5, 2002 Report Posted November 5, 2002 Would you say XTC is a forerunner to modern speed metal? Sure sounds like it.
Rosko Posted November 6, 2002 Report Posted November 6, 2002 Ultima 9, has really good music, shame it was so Buggy!!
Kenada Posted November 6, 2002 Report Posted November 6, 2002 Final Fantasy III (American), orchastrated... Epsecially the opera scense... only problem is i know very little japanese, but its still great!
AllenKG2001 Posted November 6, 2002 Report Posted November 6, 2002 The only Japanese I know is prenonced in English as "Gang ne!", which means "F*** you!"! In reply to Grayfox, yep, napalm death and cannible corpse rule! I remember me first speed/thrash metal I listened to was Sepultura-Arise! Me fav band though is Tool. Who remembers the theme tune to the first settlers game with the cheesy animation? That was fun to listen to. The most anoying but funny game tune has got to be the one from the Real Internet Simulator!
Gryphon Posted November 6, 2002 Report Posted November 6, 2002 Most of the best soundtracks have already been mentioned above (Total Annihalation) but one of the best IMHO is from a Shareware oldie by the name of "Tyrian" - it had one hell of a catchy tune.
Kartoffel Posted November 6, 2002 Report Posted November 6, 2002 Doubt you guys have ever played it, let alone heard of it, but Ys 4's opening theme is among the best written music I've heard. So is most of the other music in the game. [ 11-06-2002, 06:08 PM: Message edited by: Kartoffel ]
Rosko Posted November 7, 2002 Report Posted November 7, 2002 For funny music....it has got to be original blood!! Multiplayer, in the level with the mad dash towards the shotgun, the music is similar to what you'd find in an elevator!!
Urza Posted November 7, 2002 Report Posted November 7, 2002 These games have some of my favorite tunes (in no particular order). Final Fantasy VI,VII Centurion (an Amiga game from the late '80s) Battlecrusier Millennium Total Annihilation Baldur's Gate I,II [ 11-07-2002, 11:03 AM: Message edited by: Urza ]
Guest Grayfox Posted November 8, 2002 Report Posted November 8, 2002 centurion was definitely my favorite game... the circus maximus events were the best, and the music was very good. as for mood music... resident evil had some really good mood setting music... dark, creepy, definitely got you into the mood of the game. i also thought shogun: total war, and medieval: total war music was extremely well done.
Duncan Idaho Posted November 22, 2002 Report Posted November 22, 2002 Hmm, I've a few favorites: Final Fantasy 7 has AWESOME music, I often playlist its midi files to play other games to. Perfect for Everquest or pretty much any game that has crappy music, or no music at all. Descent (The ORIGINAL Descent, it had Midi techno rock that REALLY rocked my world for a LONG time, if you haven't heard this music, find the Midi's, load up a nice GM patch file if your card supports it, and check it out!) Wing Commander (1) Homeworld (And I'm REALLY surprised no one else listed that one, the ending them, by Yes, truly ROCKED). Road Rash Need for Speed 3 (And I've heard the guy who did this music does music for many modern car advertisements now). Mechwarrior 2 (and it's expansion, as well as Mercenary). Here at the bottom I'll add just one more: An old Shareware gem, the first game I got that could use my then new original Sound Blaster: Jill of the Jungle, a game by Tim Sweeney and his then little known company called 'Epic Megagames', (Yeah, you know them, they did the Unreal games more recently). This 'Jill of the Jungle' game had sweet music that fit the game. Other games have done it better now, but back in the late 80's, Jill of the Jungle did it best and first if you ask me. I liked it so much I actually bought the full non-shareware game. That about does it, I've probably left out a number of others I like, but this lists my most favorite game music. Idaho
Outlaw Posted November 22, 2002 Report Posted November 22, 2002 I always enjoyed the midi music in privateer.
Duncan Idaho Posted November 22, 2002 Report Posted November 22, 2002 Ahh Privateer! You hit upon the one game I always wanted but could NEVER find. We only JUST got our first software store locally this past year, prior to that I either had to take a LONG trip, or see if I could harass an out of state friend to find for me. I'd love to hear the music from that game though, if it's anywhere near as good as the original Wing Commander music. Idaho
Menchise Posted November 23, 2002 Author Report Posted November 23, 2002 quote:I'd love to hear the music from that game though, if it's anywhere near as good as the original Wing Commander music.The music section of the Wing Commander CIC has MP3s of music from most of the Wing Commander games and their spin-offs, including Privateer. The music in Privateer is good, and very different from other Wing Commander games. It primarily sets the darker tone of the game's mood. I wouldn't call it the best of Wing Commander though.
