Top 3 fave video Game tracks

that one track from Donkey Kong Country 2 is objectively the best song ever written

Super Metroid

I like the other Castlevania SOTN track that was already posted better but this is great too

Megaman 2 ending theme

Guardian Legend - password enter screen

Koji Kondo is an amazingly versatile composer... on top of the iconic main themes and leitmotifs he's composed there are some ambient gems lurking in the Zelda games...

Yeah ours came with a bunch of other games (Monster Truck Madness, Earthworm Jim 2, Thinkin' Things, etc) with a Micron PC we had - I actually had no idea our Mechwarrior 2 copy only had a small booklet and not the full manual, making the plot and overall controls more cryptic. I actually beat both campaigns over time though.

My love for that game is deep - like other random games and tv shows, etc. that soundtrack in retrospective was a huge reason I love electronic music. That track in particular was the one that would play automatically after you paused the game. It's surreal how much I feel like I played it yesterday with all the youtube videos you can watch now. I loved the minimal look of the graphics, especially the version we had running on our PC - later ones just didn't seem as unique in that regard.

Good call on Super Metroid. In fact, I'll post another one from that game for starters:

Shit, I missed this one somehow. Something about the Mega Drive sound chip makes me so happy, sounded amazing.

Earthworm 2 had some great music as well. Was the tv series any good? I always felt like the franchise seemed like it'd be a hit but it kind of fizzled out...

i loved the series, though the last time i watched it i was like 6 or 7. so my view might be skewed. though i do remember liking the show more than any derivative stuff of it.
