Anyone who's brought up any Frank Klepacki songs is a true bro .

Gothic 3 had some great music, helped make the exploration even better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMonS1ka2F4&feature=channel

As much as I hate to admit it, I really like the Katamari Damacy theme:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekOqgknkVN4

Did anyone ever play Jet Set Radio? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDXL1BR4AnM

And while not technically music from in game, this was probably the best thing to have come from that terrible game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_2Jduxc2P8

(The entire RR soundtrack is amazing)

and I always liked Battlefield 1942's main theme, too.

Yeah, good one

this was probably the best thing to have come from that terrible game

Well, I would apply such words here too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb133m_AEnY

I honestly can't see why people go apeshit over Halo's soundtrack.

 

[Grunker]

The one in Blood Bowl is awesome. Very "Navy Seal/Sub"-movieish.

Holy shit, what a ripoff of Battlefield's theme.

 

[DraQ]

No particular order:

Drakan, Witcher, Homeworld, PS:T, Unreal/Deus Ex, Anachronox, LoK:SR.
Of older games I think Diablo, Dune 2 (or anything by Klepacki, really) and Daggerfall.

And Huelsbeck

Of Turrican fame? *applauds*

No way you cannot get psyched up for the game after this glorious piece.

Likewise with Road Rash 2's opening theme

No fucking heart in game soundtracks anymore, these are actual fucking *music* not just some shit to occupy your ears to distract you from the blandness of it all whilst you shoot bollocks.

Road Rash 1 main theme

 

[Zed]

Warcraft II Orc music

in DOS:

Best tune Blizzard has ever put in a game.

Hell yeah! And here's some more SNES goodness - Doom Troopers : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtfHthJY ... re=related

Yeah, and I think they lost much of their unique aesthetic with the clear, CD-quality sound.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Goddamn Doom Troopers. That was one shitty game, but I loved the boss music. Still is awesome.

Fuck yeah.

PC version here.

Wish I could find a remix of the Dragon Warrior 2 final boss fight music. I can imagine real samples used instead of the original 8 bit midi would sound pretty badass.

[Zed]

Age of Wonders had brilliant music:

[MasterSmithFandango]

Megaman 2 had great midi music. Dr. Wily's theme was jawesome.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

I'll be damned, I didn't remember any of Gothic 3's music but that's not bad. Is it easily extractable in the game somewhere? Might reinstall Gothic 3 if I can rip the music out easily.

 

[Reject_666_6]

On my recent playthrough of Gothic 3 I actually noticed that music and loved it, but after I quit I completely forgot about it...

This thread must not die.

I find your lack of Soul Reaver disturbing:

Fuck yes again

Man oh man I love this game

 

[Destroid]

That Thief music is mighty fine. Pity I never played the game.

While I was in the car yesterday I came up with a good idea for this thread but I forgot it. It's from an older game and should have been mentioned but I felt that it most likely has not been. I think it was from a strategy game, but since I know Total Annihilation, Hell March, and Soviet March have probably been mentioned I'm not sure what it could've been. Not Starcraft, i saw Warcraft 2 already mentioned, so I really can't think of what it might've been if it was a strategy game.
