I use the music from the impossible game when running. It's got a great beat and I like to pretend that I'm the little square jumping over the triangles

[Nero Cain]

Civ V soundtrack is really good.

[Alduskkel]

I'm just going to dump all my posts from the previous thread here.

I won't post it all, but American McGee's Alice (the first version in 2000) has a wonderful soundtrack by Chris Vrenna.

Spoiler: Creepy/sad victorian goodness

I will say that the videos posted by Athrix255 are the way to go if you want to hear more, since he posted the stuff ripped straight from the game as opposed to the official OST, which unfortunately was marred by some fool thinking it was a good idea to insert quotes from the game into the otherwise instrumental music.

Bastion: Home Sweet Home/Build That Wall

Yeah, Bastion's soundtrack was phenomenal. Great game, too.

Also, is music that was used in videogames but not originally made for them appropriate for this thread? Because the music for Braid and Triachnid was also great.

Screw it I am just going to dump some great music here. VG music has always been some of my favorite stuff.

Spoiler: Heroes of Might and Magic 3 music by Paul Romero

Spoiler: Civilization 3 Conquests music

Spoiler: Select Nightmare Ned music

Spoiler: Sam & Max music -- sadly it tends to get pulled off of youtube

Spoiler: Fantasy Explorer Nitroid (Gensou Tansaku Nitroid) (Touhou fangame)

Spoiler: Diablo 2

Spoiler: World of Goo

Spoiler: Age of Mythology

Spoiler: Miscellaneous

Within A Deep Forest:

I won't post the obvious Portal 2 stuff, since I'm sure people know about it already, but this is good too:

Okay, I'm done.

For now.

Bump for great

justice

music.

Also the entire soundtrack to Bastion.

A thought: The more links you have in your post, the less likely people are to click any of them.

Continuing my campaign to bring upbeat to this thread...

So many themes in this game boil down to generic allegedly-awesome guitar; have one that doesn't.

Their loss... I wouldn't be able to bring myself to remove any of the links anyway.

By the way, the soundtrack to Closure is also really good.

[quadz08]

Gotta throw this in here, as the first (only?) piece of music composed for a video game to win a Grammy:

You don't necessarily remove them; you post one, wait for a few more people to post, and then post another one. I'm not going to spend an hour listening to your whole playlist, but I will take three minutes to hear one window out. It's all in how you present it!

That's how I can keep pulling out stuff like this Very Definitely Last Dungeon theme.

It's very definitely not the last dungeon. Although I'm pretty sure they started the sequel in the place where this plays specifically so that you could hear this again.

That would take too long. If I posted 1 video at a time it would take 38 posts, not including the soundtracks to Bastion or Closure.

[Vi]

That's because you don't understand how to present it. This is not GP2, people can get the point without suggesting they drink from a fire hose.

Perhaps something from the cutest game ever made* could soothe this tension.

If you're in the mood for more of the same, the entire (however poorly-cut) soundtrack can be found here. Decent elevator music if you just want something unobtrusive playing in the background while you grade papers or something.

*"moe" is not cute.

[Om of the Nom]

I don't think I ever showed my appreciation for the songs from Super Paper Mario and TTYD in the other thread.


The most satisfying thing about this song is the fact that each section lasts 15 seconds pretty much to the dot making this an extremely great loop.


This song makes me really happy and the instruments in the chorus really come together to create a great sound.

[Uite]

Basically, Motoi Sakuraba is a video game music god.

Also nice:



Totally different:



Just one more, so as not to overload you all:

[GuyInFreezer]

Someone spoiler all those videos :<

Spoiler: Princess Maker 2 Battle Theme (Warning: Not a good example of midi soundboard)

Spoiler: Metal Slug 3 - Midnight Wandering

Spoiler: Riviera - The Angels Foretell Their Demise

Spoiler: Yggdra Union - Elena Sortie

Spoiler: AW1 - Strum's Theme

Spoiler: KoF XIII - Wild Street

Okay, so it's not a video game. It's a computer game. But I've been running, daily, through a playlist of this:

Spoiler: Menu Music

Spoiler: Quest Music

Spoiler: Game Music

Spoiler: I don't remember what this music is for

...But it's still awesome.

Spoiler: Endgame music

For the nostalgia trip, mainly. Majesty was and still is an absolutely epic game. (In fact, I recently decided to begin re-playing it, without cheats. I've managed to, fairly!, beat every level except Legendary Heroes, and by extension, the Master quests it unlocks. The best part of playing the game again, though, is knowing about the easter eggs which you access with the shift-quotation mark button. Some are intelligible, some are kinda 'meh', some are entertaining, but some are absolutely drop-dead*

hilarious

, such as those from the Elven Lounge [especially if you read the subtext and know what the luxuries are] and Gambling Hall [if you've played pretty much any dang level fairly].) The music's up to par.

*I swear, Krypta. No pun intended.

[Hanasawa]

Strum

Also, I didn't like his theme... I much preferred...who...? Maybe...

Colin. Power of Money.

Spoiler: Colin's Theme - Advance Wars: Black Hole Rising

[Vi]

It's not Lash, Sasha, or Jess, so you're both wrong.

But really, you should be picking out of a different generation.

Spoiler: Tabitha's Theme - Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (Larissa, Dark Conflict)

[Hanasawa]

Jess is a

very close second

though I've used Colin way too many times.

Days of Ruin wasn't my thing though. I couldn't play it and the realism turn really killed it for me. I might pick it up once again and give it another chance though... Umm...

Have a blast from my past.

Spoiler: Kirby's Air Ride - Metal Theme

Spoiler: Kirby's Air Ride - City Trial

[Vi]

Needs more

Spoiler: Kirby Air Ride - Menu Theme

Kirby Air Ride tried hard, but... I don't think it had any real standout tracks other than the menu theme. :/ I really wanted to like Light because I'm a massive sucker for glass and glow, but etc..

[Uite]

Such a great take on an old classic:



Bonus music:



Usually these kinds of tracks get boring quickly, but this one just stays hypnotic no matter how much I listen to it.

[Uite]

[Vi]

(Repost) Thank you for posting Cammy's theme.

Surprise twist: Bemani (best known for Dance Dance Revolution) actually put out good music.
This is the song that explains why I know more about obscure rhythm games than I should probably admit.

Spoiler: Pop'n Music 10 - Anthem Trance "Votum Stellarum"

I recommend turning your sound up.

[Uite]

(I'm hoping the lost posts will be back soon. Damn tigers.)

[Hanasawa]

It's like I'm fighting Vi eternally for the completely different tastes in VG music that we have... Bemani... Mmm...

Only song I can think of is Evans for Jubeat without thinking of the DDR games itself but that's so overused... But I just can not help but to post this...

Spoiler: Captain Jack - Dream a Dream

For non-American songs... Try... Oh! I lied about Evans being the only I can think of. This is a really nice song!

Spoiler: DJ Yoshikata - ALBIDA
