Favorite Video Game Theme Song?

[superjudge3]

I like the original Star Fox, it had some of the best in game music I thought. Also, Yoshi's Island had some really great "feel good" music in it.

I always will remember Zelda: A Link to the Past theme and the Hyrule music

 

Cruisin' USA, Ranger X, and Double Dragons were also very good

Rolling Thunder arcade love that wierd music. Double Dragon I and II, and Shinobi as runner-ups.

[Cassidy Nolen]

Best song that could stand up without the game: "Rusted Chain" by Soundgarden on Road Rash (best on 3D0 with videos)

 

Best in game music: Rage Racer (Jap edition and you can actually play the tracks in your CD player)

 

Best old-school arcade: Gyruss, because it gives you culture

 

Best old-school home translation: Moon Patrol on Vic-20; hum it for days after playing a while

 

Best Modern Game overall theme song: SSX Tricky by Run DMC

 

All right, thats it for me. NO way I could pick just one. They're like Doritos.

I was about to say the same thing. Best title music ever.

Can't imagine why they didn't stick with the same tune for the sequel (they used an arrangement) and the PSP spinoff. Such a strong piece of music.

 

 

@ Cassidy Nolen - You have the Japanese version of Rage Racer? Dude, I would LOVE an mp3 of that title theme. It's the only piece of music from that game I don't have. Gotta love Namco intros. Nice to see they've kept up the quality with Ridge Racers 2.

[Inky]

Easy. MOON PATROL!

[Sonic]

Genesis music has really grown on me

 

Have you ever heard of the band MegaDriver? I recently found out abut them and they redo all of the theme songs of games that were on the genesis/mega drive.

 

i say that because my favorite redone game music is now MegaDriver's Sonic theme!
