The worst video game music..ever!

[rkotm]

What is some bad examples of game music (namely old school)?

Example:

Are you kidding, that's an awesome song, that's one of the best parts of the Rush series.

Ask for horrible music...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GflY6rsGTu8

Seriously, with all the instruments the Chinese could have used on the NES, WTF?!

I just came across this: Tagin' Dragon (NES) title screen

Of course, there's always the Winter Games (NES) speed skating intro "music":

That's a mad sick ringtone bro

I've always been partial to the pornotastic music in Wolfenstein 3D SNES http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NM01Jy8di0
Might not be HORRIBLE, but it's still horribly inappropriate

I just heard that for the first time and literally laughed out loud at how horrible it is.

It's amazing to me that Nintendo, Konami, Capcom, Sunsoft, Tecmo, and a couple other developers could create such beautiful music on the NES, yet so many other developers could only muster up this putrid audio vomit.

... Yeah, I disagree with this one. I like the minimalist approach used here. It's very... I dunno, ambient, and simple. Sometimes it's not about what the music is, but what it's meant to be. Check out this version being played through an actual musical instrument:

I'm sure people will post music from Terminator 2 (NES) since everyone seems to hate the game's music, but I loved that soundtrack.

I can't really think of any truly bad music right now.

The Hunt for Red October on the NES. Give it a minute to get to the gameplay music.

This one is pretty freakin' bad. Garbage music to compliment a garbage game.

Here's another one, it just keeps looping throughout the entire game.

I love this comment:
The fact that the music makes you think that Indiana Jones is driving an ice cream truck is bad enough to not warrant playing it even once.

[SpaceHarrier]

Not bad at all in and of itself.. but this version is wretched.

The Imps Song
Doom

It actually sounds like intermittent diarrhea

[Damaramu]

Saw the title of this thread and I immediately thought of the music for the first 9 levels of Fatal Labyrinth. Funny enough though, I really like this game.

I dunno why I love this game so much, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

you're all doing it wrong:

terminator and hydlide's music is a symphony compared to this:

This is a tad unfair. The music sounds a lot like a C64 tune, so it's not... exactly "nice" to those of us who didn't grow up with the system. It's decent. :P

I agree. There are moments in that intro that don't sound like and Nes game at all and the game itself contains a pretty decent soundtrack.

To the member who posted The Hunt For Red October, I found a complete copy of that game over the summer for 2 bucks and I had to turn the volume down. I've hardly ever done that before. Could have been an interesting submarine schmup.

The only game I've ever actually muted is Rocky and Bullwinkle for the Nes, so that gets my vote. I also found the boss music in Bio Hazard Battle (Genesis) to be really out of place.
