justinj212 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hey all. I host and produce a weekly radio show at the University of Maryland's radio station WMUC. The show (8-Bit Radio) is dedicated to playing video game music. What I'm asking for are games to feature on my show. What are your favorite video game soundtracks? They can be mainstream or obscure, as long as they have good music! Just let me know what some of your favorite game soundtracks are and, if I find them and play them, I'll give you a shout out on the air. Please help me out by giving me the names of some games to play music from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 If you're limiting it to 8-bit, then the only soundtracks I can come up with are: Mega Man 2 Mega Man 3 Zelda II (game wasn't great, but the Temple theme was) Cheetahmen II If you're expanding it to anything, then I have a few other ideas: Albert Odyssey (Saturn) - really great; all live instruments Lunar: The Silver Star (Sega CD) - mostly short themes, all good Lunar: Eternal Blue (Sega CD, preferably) - favorite soundtrack in general Tales of Phantasia (Super Famicom, Playstation, GBA) Sonic CD (Sega CD, of course) A few that a lot of other folks will probably mention anyway: Chrono Trigger Radical Dreamers Final Fantasy X Xenogears Wild Arms 1-3 KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinj212 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Thanks for the response, and no, I'm not limiting it to 8-bit-era music. It can be any music from any game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coop Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Some games I haven't seen mentioned yet... Master of Monsters (Genesis) Alisia Dragoon (Genesis) Thunder Force IV (Genesis) Thunder Force III (Genesis) Phantasy Star IV (Genesis) Gauntlet IV (Genesis) Castlevania: Bloodlines (Genesis) Streets of Rage (Genesis) The Revenge of Shinobi (Genesis) Stellar Fire (Sega CD) Soul Star (Sega CD) Lords of Thunder (Sega CD) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Saturn or PS1) I could name a bunch of other soundtracks that have some great tunes in them, but those are the ones that came immediately to mind where most of the soundtrack is a great listen from start to finish.

Burn7 Toast Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hey, Doom had some pretty nice tunes for the time. The original Warcraft had some good ones too, but personally I think that the best 8-bits are from Zelda. Just hearing the overworld theme brings back memories, and even if you didnt play the game you know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olarin Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Ultima VII (PC) (also Ultima VII Part II: Serpent Isle) - lots of memorable tracks Ultima IX (PC) - this was recorded by a 50-piece orchestra Solstice (NES) - opening theme Warcraft II (PC) Myst (PC) - but a lot of it might be too ambient for your radio show, I don't know what you're going for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizyr Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 It occurs to me that no one yet has mentioned: Ecco the Dolphin (both Genesis and Sega CD--different soundtracks) Ecco 2: Tides of Time (both Genesis and Sega CD--again, different soundtracks) To me, these two games had the best soundtrack of any Sega CD game. It's all incredibly great ambient music that really got you into the scenery of each of the levels. And yeah, the Genesis and Sega CD soundtracks are completely different, since they were really trying to take advantage of the SCD's sound capabilities when they released it.

mr.wholesome Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Omega Five and any of its arranged versions. Metal Slug 2 and 3 Gradius 5 Eternal Sonata has some nice songs in there too. Kirbys Dreamland 3 and Superstar. Super Smash Bros Brawl. ( really large amount of songs from a broad selection of games in many genres. Bound to be something recognisable to most people listening, and if not they just plain rock) Sonic1~Adventure, include Sonic Rush (1st one, second was gash music wise) Deus Ex Marvel Vs Capcom 2 Other than that things in Coops list cos he mentioned Thunder Force 4,Castlevania: Bloodlines and Shinobi 3. So the rest is bound to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
