Game Music

[deepndark]

Some really cool music has been produced for the games - so if you know a track that you like - then post it for us to hear.
This game was a big thing back then: "Rainbow Six"
I love sad music, makes me almost cry!

Not so much individual songs, but I really liked the atmosphere created in Diablo...
The first time when I felt I was completely submersed in a game...

Two of my all time favorite pieces of video game music:

There's two versions in this video, I can't seem to embed a link that starts with the FM version at 1:38, but you can jump there yourself. The square wave version at the start is also good though.

The I love the how the song picks up with the arpeggio at 0:30, but that part isn't even used normally. This is the title screen music, and it screen fades out after 30 seconds. The only place you can hear the full song is in the music test.

Ah, yes! Before I forget... Mind in a Box's R.E.T.R.O. album...
Riffing on some game music classics...

I loved the dark techno/trance soundtrack for Lifefore Tenka back on the PS1. Haha, must be decades since I last heard it!!! Thanks for making me seek it out...

I think the entire soundtrack for Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) is a great work of art. It's hard to pick one track but it's versatile enough to have it playing in the background while you clean your house.

Total Annihilation had a great Soundtrack
Here's the playlist on Youtube :

unfortunately the player doesn't change to next Title, so heres the URL so you can listen to it on youtube :

A long long time ago I played Dune 2. The awesome soundtrack really added to the atmosphere of the game.

Amazing what they could do back then given that the sounds were synthesized on the spot and not delivered with the installation files as complete mp3s as they do right now...

I really dig the soundtrack of the original unreal tournament. Not only was it made by a very skilful tracker musician (those umx files are simply XM modules, that originally used seamless loops), but it's also a great atmospheric work that gets you into the flow:

Also the Command & Conquer series had some quite memorable soundtrack music:

p.s.: And yes, the Diablo soundtracks are also masterpieces.

Another one I love is Hitman.

Hoho I missed this thread!

Yes, yes, yes!!

I love the ambiance of Starcraft 1 Zerg themes.

Love the HALO soundtrack. Here's an interesting version of it.

[mcatalao]

Uncharted's soundtrack is great.

Amon Tobin's soundtrack for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is greatness.

The year was 1997, and the moment I heard this - I was hooked (was the very reason I bought a first-gen Playstation):

awesome dark john carpenter vibes.

been a while i've been totally into a game, but last summer a first-person puzzlegame, called "The Talos Principle" got me hooked,. Better than portal for me...

Since it's a puzzlegame (basically you need to find a sigil in each level, wich you can use in puzzles to unlock later levels) the music is very relaxing, it just adds to the atmosphere (think religion, god & Sci-Fi), the game does get quite hard after a few hours ....
& besides that it has a well written story & LOTS of hidden secrets/Easter Eggs

a well deserved recommendation to all first-person gamers or puzzle gamers...

Enjoy the great screenshots too

Nice!
Now I really have to check out that game.

I played "Everybodys Gone To The Rapture"(PS4) when it was released recently, and the music you link reminds me of that. It's not a game really, more like an interactive story, made by the same guys who created "Dear Esther" which I liked even more.

i don't know the games you mentioned (yet, i also don't have a PlayStation) , but if you're a puzzler & First-Person fan i guarantee that "The Talos Principle" won't let you down
