I love the music from Cave Story (a shareware RPG/adventure game in an 8-bit style released a few years ago):

The music from Pocky and Rocky 2 for SNES was also really good.

I love you guys, im so sad... why does life change so much? I want to be a little boy again sitting in the comfort of my home with the blinds down the sun glaring in... oh the beauty... it was a dream the summer days back when we were young.. it was a dream playing this game with no care in the world thinking everything is forever it was a dream... and I am 21 and everything feels like a chore, the summer weather doesn't have the same effect .... LIFE is something, thank you donkey kong.

Wow! I'd never heard of that. Probably hard as hell to find.

Also, just wanted to post this because it is awesome.

Hirokazu Ando who did the music for this game also worked on Earthbound IIRC.

1st gen pokemon themes were great, my favourite is Bike Ride:

Poke Center is a nice hook too:

though IMO they sound better on Gameboy hardware and speakers

...damn, I can feel the nostalgia kicking in

V79, Sunday, 15 August 2010 14:54 (2 years ago) Permalink

I never played any of the Pokemon games. Maybe I should download an emulator.

Always thought Shadowrun for the SNES had pretty bitchin' music.

That second one is badass — reminds me of the music from Darius Twin:

The music for Super R-Type was great:

I was disappointed when I found out Keiichi Suzuki wasn't doing the music for Mother 3, but Shogo Sakai did a good job.

I'd love to hear the music for a lagoon level on Super Mario 64, but I'm damned if I know what it's called, I just remember rushing around in knee high water.

i'm trying to find more music (game or non-game) in a similar style to the Machinarium soundtrack, this has to be my favorite game soundtrack of the past several years. it's all a bit eno-esque i guess but more lush and structured

my 2 favorites:

Not dissimilar to the new Bonobo album actually, which I've been praising on ILM this very weekend.

that level is called dire dire docks. the music is posted upthread.

what video game music does this remind me of?

fennel cartwright, Monday, 27 September 2010 08:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

The music in this game sounded like something produced by Trevor Horn. I'd forgotten about it until just now.

There's no way near enough Rob Hubbard on this thread.

His metallic percussion sounds are genius and he always had a way with textures but with a hummable tune:

^ love this one

playing through this for the first time was a magical experience

teledyldonix, Saturday, 2 October 2010 19:51 (2 years ago) Permalink

I love this 'song' (even though it repeats itself over and over in the game)
A rapper should sample it

I feel like autistic peeps would like that song too
