Your Favorite Video Game Soundtrack?

[GENESISNES]

What is your favorite soundtrack in a game?

I would have to say Jet Grind Radio. I downloaded like half of the songs in the game, and it is one of my favorite games of all time. Hey, im listening to 'bout the city now! Anyway, favorite soundtrack?

[Bratwurst]

Magical Chase, no doubt.

[WiseSalesman]

Sorry, can't pick just one!
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Grandia 2
Final Fantasy Tactics

[Kroogah]

Non-Bemani: Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike, hands down.

Bemani: Pretty much any Style of Beatmania IIDX, along with Beatmania Gottamix and DDR Extreme (a cop-out, I know)

Any of the Samurai Shodown soundtracks.

I've always been a fan of videogame music. As a kid, I remember rocking out to the tunes in Atari 2600 Reactor, Wizard of Wor and even Journey Escape. Yes, my tastes are rather bizarre.

May favorite would have to be a Castlevania soundtrack... but choosing which game is difficult. It's probably a toss-up between Symphony of the Night and Super Castlevania IV, although Castlevania III's also blew me away. Who knew such complicated arrangements were possible on an 8-bit machine?

I also think rather highly of the music in Super Metroid and SNES Gradius III. The soundtrack for Space Megaforce has a high "catchiness" factor.

I also recall being quite impressed by the PC speaker(!) soundtrack to King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella. I played it on a Tandy 1000 that has a built-in speaker capable of two-channel sound.

My Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger cd sets just came in the mail, so I'm pretty fond of them right now. I also like The Secret of Mana quite a bit, too. But there are a lot, so my favorites change every few months.

Almost forgot, PC's Baldur's Gate is also a long time favorite.

Guitar Freaks 6th Mix! I can't wait until the local arcade upgrades Drummania to 5th Mix to match it... Mmm...

[EnemyZero]

fav soundtracks...hmm Final Fantasy VII and Fatal Fury

I dig on the FFVI OST, Space Channel 5, and I don't know if this counts, but Mad Maestro has the fly classical tracks, althought I don't own (or even know if there exists) an OST for this.

Don't have one single favourite, because I have a wide musical taste. Highlights would be:

Jet Force Gemini - Nintendo 64 (Best orchestral music EVER!)

Sega Rally - Sega Saturn (The default Mountain music is the best piece of music I've ever heard!)

Stunt Race FX - Super NES (Unbelievable funky music!)

Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing - Super NES (There's not much musical variety, but what's there is brilliant!)

Top Gear 3000 - Super NES (While the majority of music is average, there are one or two tracks which are fantastic!)

Lylat Wars/StarFox 64 - Nintendo 64 (Some of the most epic music I've ever heard - plus the end credits music is just superb!)

Mario Kart 64 - Nintendo 64 (Again, the music during the credits! Heard it once - loved it forever!)

I'm sure there are many more, but I can't be bothered listing them!
