sigh, just when i thought i had finally escaped square enix fans for good...

lol

hey...they used to make great games

I respect your opinion and politely disagree very strongly.

edit: also, shit guys, stop posting good vgm music. you're ruining the novelty of my forthcoming video game music dj mix, since I have like 4 of the songs in this thread in it.

I'm just going to stick with the really old school shit. There are far too many choices for SNES and beyond.

Zelda I think may be my #1 for original NES, surprised it hasn't already been posted. Maybe too obvious?

Final Fantasy games always have great soundtracks.

TMNT2 music was always good for getting the ol' adrenaline pumping.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hGF83f7gNA

As was the music from Batman.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCA_msAEn8k

And of course it goes without saying that all the NES Mario Bros music was gold.

Those Kirby 3 songs ganus posted are outstanding. Never played that game, but now I want to.

I always thought the "twilight music" in Zelda: Twilight Princess was very eery and surreal - like underwater trombones

Sonic 3/Sonic & Knuckles

Parodius (Most of the music in this game is taken from other sources)

Rayman 1

Bolded because the music in this game is CD quality, made from real-life high quality instruments and composed by musical masterminds.

gonna break the theme of the thread

anyway back on topic

The Genesis really made my childhood. I still love it.

the pilotwings soundtrack just about fills my nostrils with the sweet aroma and excitement of a freshly opened super nintendo console. holy hell it's nice as fuck.

Awepittance, I totally agree about Super Castlevania IV -- I had never played it (!) but Alcofribas turned me on (and turned me onto) the ost, which is superb.

Some next level prog shit right here:

The best orchestral adaptation of VGM:

Edit: Plus any VGM by David Wise, especially the Wizards & Warriors tracks, all three games.

WOW I just remembered how good the Theme Hospital OST was !!!

It even work as an album...It has everything : killer tracks, mellow tracks, EVERYTHING !
