Vidgy Game Soundtracks

The sweaty-palm memories of my low level naked mage tap-tap-tapping his way around dark corners to this music will never die.

 

 

Now I have to dig my old cd out and play this, tremendous atmosphere.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

 

Tea for the teapot!

Metal Gear Solid 1-3 & Peace Walker

 

Metal Gear Solid 2 probably had the most solid soundtrack out of them all next to 3

It generally consisted of neat blues, jazzy tunes that neat fit with that eerie atmosphere of the Big Shell.

Silent Hill Series, specifically 1-4 (Akira Yamaoka) -- Yamaoka is a master and he made the soundtrack as great as it was

Persona series - Shoji Meguro is one of a kind; Blending everything from rock to jazz, hip-hop tunes, blues and even J-pop and still manages

to capture almost any raw emotion of the youthful spirit that is series -- Ultimately resulting in an excellent soundtrack. Always.

The Longest Journey & Dreamfall -- Simon Poole & other composers created the themes for these great adventure games

Hitman series -- Jesper Kyd is excellent and I remember his tracks for Blood Money the most

Psychonauts -- Peter McConnell's blues-sounding guitar accords of Camp Whispering Rock was sold me

Along with anything else about this game. At times, it reminded me a bit of the Sly Cooper soundtrack which was neat.

________________________________________________________________________

Knights of the Old Republic 2 -- It was one of the first western-RPGs I got into at the time since I was a fan of Star Wars

It felt so unlike John Williams, so unlike Star Wars, there was a neat atmosphere to it, and yet.. it still sounded like Star Wars

Here's a list of my favorite video game music.

 

1983

Spyhunter (0:20)

Those were great days to be a gamer thumbsup.gif

 

To be fair, the SPYHUNTER music is an electronic version of Henry Mancini's PETER GUNN theme so in somewhat of a different place in terms of game music than others, I'd think.

 

 

For catchy classic video game themes, I really liked Moon Patrol:

For more recent music, I really like the main theme for Resident Evil: Outbreak

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
