Mr Azar Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I just heard the Overworld theme of Super Mario Brothers 2 being played from an ice cream truck. How about you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Con Carnage Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I actually heard a number of OCRemixes playing at a laser tag arena in Baton Rouge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Azar Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 I actually heard a number of OCRemixes playing at a laser tag arena in Baton Rouge. Now this would be great for laser tag. Edit: I heard another ice cream truck play Dragon Warrior music. I wonder if it's the same one I heard earlier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperWalrus Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'm playing the fallout 3 theme (I don't wana set the world on fire) at a jazz fest this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moguta Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'm playing the fallout 3 theme (I don't wana set the world on fire) at a jazz fest this summer I don't mean to nitpick... but I'm not sure a song that existed nearly 80 years before Fallout 3 really counts as video game music. Though I have to say, it would be pretty sweet to hear that performance! Edit: I heard another ice cream truck play Dragon Warrior music. I wonder if it's the same one I heard earlier... Where do you live, sir? At the very heart of VGM itself?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drop Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Where do you live, sir? At the very heart of VGM itself?!? Evidently, man. I want to hear some Super Mario Bros. on an ice cream truck in my neighborhood. But then, there aren't any ice cream trucks anywhere near my neighborhood, so I guess that's pretty unlikely from the get-go, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Azar Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Where do you live, sir? At the very heart of VGM itself?!? I doubt Portland (Oregon) is the nexus of the VGMiverse . I only recognized the tune because it's very iconic to the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Chocobo Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Like Chili, I heard OC Remixes at the laser tag place. Probably cause we went there the same night (and kicked copious amounts of ass). There's also a theater near my aunt's house that plays video game remixes in the before-movie ads and trivia questions and whatnot. I've heard Metroid Prime (Phendrana Drifts, specifically), Chrono Trigger, and Super Mario 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The most I can say I heard was a 1-UP sound effect as someone's text message ringtone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The only place I can recall hearing vgm publicly is at the Nintendo World store in the Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinus Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Several ringtones. I don't think I heard anyone (except me) actually playing video game music in public though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halt Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Moonlight Bowling, Friday night. like 11pm they were playing the ending song of Portal. before it was stuff off the jukebox. This song just randomly came on. O_o CAKE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaineegee Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I heard 'monstrous turtles' at a computer store here in Tucson. Upon closer inspection, I saw that there was an entire OC Remix playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Escape Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 God I wish... I've only once in my life has someone even recognized my video game music. Just sitting in my car in a GameCrazy parking lot, listening to a Wily Theme cover I did for reference, and some random tough ass looking black dude walked by. :-x"HEY!" 8OI got ready to be killed. "THAT'S MEGA MAN!". I giggled like a school girl. The End. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brycepops Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Its Music that's in a videogame therefore it is videogame music I disagree. If it wasn't an original composition for a game, I wouldn't call it VGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noTuX Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I actually heard a number of OCRemixes playing at a laser tag arena in Baton Rouge. Where do you go to play laser tag in Baton Rouge? I heard quite a few OC Remixes (including some of mine) playing on the demo computers at a Office Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 A friend of mine has "Monstrous Turtles!" as a ringtone. This remix rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I heard someones ringtone, which was the music when you fight a Wily boss in Mega Man 3 Wait that was me, I have a VGMless life outside of my own tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I just heard the Overworld theme of Super Mario Brothers 2 being played from an ice cream truck. How about you guys?

Ga:Ma Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I heard a hip hop remix of Final Fantasy VII's battle music on a late radio station. After some searching, turns out it's by Cool G. Rap & Prinz. It's a very interesting listen if you havn't already heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyXIII Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The most I can say I heard was a 1-UP sound effect as someone's text message ringtone. Ha! I have that, too! With the Zelda "Get Treasure Fanfare" set as the alert when an email comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
