What's your favourite video game music?

Couple more that I've come across:

Nice mash-up of the best songs in Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies.

Really enjoyed Dual Destinies actually, more than any other Ace Attorney game I've played. I played it back in 2014 on the iPad and forgot about it haha.

And then, of course, the best song to ever feature in a video game:

Oh, there's too much good game music for me to pick a favourite, but here's an obscure gem I think more people should know about. Obviously inspired by Ennio Morricone and such.

Some of my favourites of all time have gotta be the Ocean tape loaders on the Commodore 64.

 

[amyacker]

Sneaky driver, memories of mother, The awoken.

 

[Stuart Mander]

Mine is the music to the Kingdom Hearts series

 

[Psycho_666]

Bastion

Yes... Oh yes...

DARK SOULS

Much yes. Very yes...

I'm surprised I didn't see Bayonetta mentioned anywhere (unless I missed it, which is entirely possible). Cause that music is amazing...

Going back to Transistor songs, as I've recently been compiling a playlist of songs to listen to as I program.

That kinda goes against it, if it's so forgettable. I mean yeah, it's good. I feel like it's the weakest I've played from the series though. The cases weren't too interesting except the last one. I even bought the DLC and thought it was just fine. I just felt like it didn't bring a lot of new things to the table, and going into 3D animation just kinda set it back in character expressions. YOu just can't translate the over-the-top expressions from the old games to new ones. At least not easily. But yeah, Justice For All is where it's at.

One surprising game with an incredible soundtrack which often slips under the radar (probably because most of the best tracks don't actually feature in the game) is Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I didn't realise it even had a soundtrack while playing it, because 95% of what you hear is ambience, but I stumbled across the official soundtrack on Spotify and there are some absolute gems.
Brennenburg Theme, Lux Tenebras and Theme for Unknown are probably my favourites, but they are all great. Mikko Tarmia who scored the game also did SOMA which came out much more recently, and that also has some beautiful music, albeit with more of a sci-fi flair. In any case, all the tracks make great background music for DnD campaigns as I've discovered!

The very first game that sported music which made me want to play the game more was Snafu on the Intellivision. Back in 1981!

Music from game music composer Chris Huelsbeck I still listen to. Apidya, Turrican,...

Shadowfire's C64 game tune still rocks.
