Hey Devs: Old Games & Great Scores ♫ You Like

Games that made a lasting impression on you with their music. A few people will know the first, many more will know the second, though indirectly.

 

 

 

 

So what old game music influences what you make today?

:facepalm: #define TRUE (!FALSE)

I ran across an article where the above statement was found in a release tarball. LOL! Who does something like this? Predictably, this oddity was found when the article's author tried to build said tarball and the compiler promptly went into cardiac arrest. If you're not a developer, imagine telling someone the literal meaning of up is "not down". Such nonsense makes computers, and developers... angry.

Yep, I know the first one alright. Norman was a genius. Game design, artwork, coding, music composition...

 

Back when developers were one man armies. Cosmi still exists as far as I know.

 

Music of Forbidden Forest was awe inspiring.

The second one became popular when the German band Zombie Nation effectively stole the riff and put it in their popular song Kernkraft 400.

tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
