Otakatt Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Big yes to Ys being underrated. JDK = super awesome As far as music I think is underrated.. well.. just about anything from the Wizardry series. Especially anything from Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land (Wizardry Busin, in the japanese version). Quote
Animae Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Both soundtracks from the Jazz Jackrabbit games have gotten far to little acclaim. Quote
K.B. Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Spider sounds like it has a sweet soundtrack. Also, the first track posted smacks of Robert Smith. Jazz Jackrabbit was also awesome. Good finds in this thread. Ys' soundtrack, however, might be widely unknown to the casual gamer but it surely isn't underrated. Kind of like Vagrant Story's (shameless plug for my remix request). Silver Surfer, indeed. Follins take the underrated crown. In that vein: Sky Shark EDIT: Man, four tracks on that soundtrack and they left off the best one. Quote

Red9 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 At work so I can't access youtube but I find the soundtrack for Vandle Hearts (psx) very excellent indeed. Quote
The Derrit Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Both soundtracks from the Jazz Jackrabbit games have gotten far to little acclaim. Quoted for emphasis. Also does anyone know where you can get Jazz Jackrabbit? I tried once but couldn't find a working version for the life of me. I really really want to play it so anyone who knows where to find a compatible version let me know. Quote
Cerrax Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Wow. These are all freaking great. I love this thread. Also: Ys FTW Quote
Brycepops Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 At work so I can't access youtube but I find the soundtrack for Vandal Hearts (psx) very excellent indeed. Fixed. I never played the first one, but I have the second one. The music is kinda nice :3 Quote
Vurez Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 One of the first remixes I ever downloaded from here was "Feena Flow" from Ys... and all these years later it's still the only Ys remix on here. Ys, for crying out loud! Well, you can't say some of us haven't tried. It was a while ago though. Actually, I should do another soon. Anyway, Dungeon Explorer II (5:20 and onward) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REyUz8Ul2rk Shadow of the Beast - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67S0m7PAY9A and Lords of Thunder - Quote
Scaredsim Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Wow. These are all freaking great. I love this thread. Also:Ys FTW Oh...yes, YES ! Quote
Vurez Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 And let's throw some more Ys out there. Ys III Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OCGZ8Rh44s&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYHoaGE8DWI&feature=related Quote
Sole Signal Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Because of this thread (specifically, those great Ys tracks), I discovered S.S.H. Awesome. Quote

Brushfire Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 This is prolly underrated cause no one but me played this game, but I think that Afro Samurai had one of the best soundtracks in a long time. Track # 11 - Afro Fight Groove 4 is my favorite from the games stellar music line up. Sorry all I have is a Pirate Bay torrent link. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4698935/Afro_Samurai_Game_Soundtrack Quote
WillRock Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Here's a track off battle arena toshinden 2. Any one remember that? Think of a cross between soul calibur and Street fighter. The soundtrack was much better than the game itself in my opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lSzW1F5iG8 Quote
The Coop Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 A few more, this time from the Sega CD. Underrated in part because hardly anyone played the games... Soul Star- A good synth-orchestral soundtrack. Stellar Fire- Not sure where to classify it, but the music is quite cool. Robo Aleste- A rock/disco/electronica/symphonic conglomeration that's enjoyable. Android Assault- 80s Anime rock. Lords of Thunder- Great Metal soundtrack. Ecco the Dolphin- Atmospheric and rhythmic. If you're familiar with Pink Floydd's "Momentary Lapse of Reason" CD, you'll get a similar vibe at times. Amazing Spiderman- A rather unexpected soundtrack given the game. 80s glam rock/hair metal from start to finish, and you might even recognize the singer on the opening track Quote
WillRock Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Amazing Spiderman80s glam rock/hair metal from start to finish, and you might even recognize the singer on the opening track I'm checking that one out... Quote
TheLeviathan Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Didn't read through the rest of the thread, so I don't know if somebody else mentioned this yet. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for N64 (as well as pretty much any game from that series) has a pretty amazing soundtrack. The Castle themes are where the soundtrack shines IMO. I love how the songs start off simple and then start to build after you begin to progress through the castle. These are probably three of my favorites from it: (this one shows the progression of the song through a stage) Quote
Neloms Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Perfect Dark Zero is a game that was quickly forgotten about after its release. The game was OK, the soundtrack was fantastic though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26sqnOCDYqU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXrQrmjbEU8 Quote
Ferret Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 While we're still on the topic of Perfect Dark, here's Maian Tears. Yes I am having a love affair with this track. Turn your volume up so you can hear the bass better. Quote
CC Ricers Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2. Epic and chill musics, all at once. (announcer voices aside) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9ngBNbh-JI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GXHjHs75XU Quote
lazygecko Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Outlaws, true Morricone-style soundtrack from the same guy who did Monkey Island. It has been played in some VGM concerts, but other than that it has recieved little recognition. Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 THIS -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzZSQDa7tfo&feature=related no not really, (but awesome album nonetheless), most already voiced similar thoughts for me such as Mega Man 4, Ys ect. If there has to be one that was not mentioned but I feel is underrated, it'd have to be Super Ghouls & Ghosts on the SNES. I'm probably the only one that liked it enough to want to hear some remixes from it. Quote
