Incline What is best soundtrack of a game?

[Bigg Boss]

You all fought valiantly men, for that much is true, but we all know Mark Morgan didn't shat that wonderful Fallout music out without a little "help", nobody played Arcanum, and JRPG's aren't real games, and all that Atari era beep-boop shit is making my anus bleed, so here is some music that is actually the best video game music of all time - objectively speaking of course.

Nostalgia aside this first one is beautiful.

Sadly this one doesn't count in which case neither does Fallout, eh?

And I guess this made an impression on me as a child.

Of course any soundtrack that has Raining Blood on it kinda wins in my book.

For me there's only one game soundtrack where every single track is memorable and recognizable.

(Even though the soundtrack as a whole sounds like a lunatic asylum.)

No, it is not. Original .mod files FTW.

I decided to pick a tune that's recognizable to most people. As I said, there isn't a bad tune in the entire soundtrack.

Top of the tops, this theme is genius <3

Do remakes count?



There's a link to download the whole album in the video, in both mp3 and lossless if I remember correctly. I think Sign of Evil is my favourite (22:30)

Just a shame it has to be associated with that Brutal Doom bollocks.

The games that were inspired by Earthbound seem to all have conceptually fitting music that's had a lot of effort and thought put into it.

Space Funeral sampled or mashed up a lot of old records, including BBC polyphonic workshops.

This, for example, is somewhat obscure Japanese psychrock, and it was doubly surprising to see it in a game. The whole OST is like that.

OFF utilized spooky ambient (Not Safe) as well as instrumental hip-hop (Pepper Steak).



LISA the Painful had pieces ranging from industrial (Blood for Sex) and general Ambient Of Sadness (Bradley) to almost exclusively upbeat hip-hop and synthpop in LISA the Joyful (I STRONGLY recommend listening to both of these soundtracks in their entirety, for a variety of reasons).



Also, a platformer called Capsized used an entire psybient album by Solar Fields as its soundtrack. I remember being surprised as shit when I heard it in-game: I think a few months earlier I'd given it my first listen, and here it was, in a random video game.

These are extreme examples of something, in my opinion, really outstanding (except for capsized, they just used a nice album, as fitting as it was) in both effort, quality and their value. I bet there are tons of soundtracks that are pleasant to listen to but these ones really take the cake, if you ask me.

EDIT: I simply can't NOT link this:

Just don't stop it in the first minute and a half. You can thank me later.
