Favorite game theme?

Post by Gandalf »

For me it has to be the Hell March from Red Alert 2, just because of the beat and speed, and that the video has troops storming New York city.

The Final Fantasy VII main theme. Best ever in a FF game.

Fire up your old Nintendo Entertainment Systems folks, or for you younger kids, go to a museum, and listen to the entire opening of The Legend of Zelda.

The theme from old Amiga shoot-em-up SWIV , which I end up humming every other week.
And NARC! Shitty pseudo-rap theme for a shitty game, but unintentionally hilarious... Just like the game itself.

Yeah, Hell March was a good one. Other than that, I'd say the BF1942 intro music.

Now that it has been mentioned, I would have to say secondary themes would be

Mario Brothers
Mario World's ragtime theme
SMB2's Theme
Sonic's theme in just about every game
Zelda's Gerudo's Valley theme
Metroids theme
Spy Hunter's theme

This one is a stretch. The very last level before King Dede in Kirby's Dreamland on the NES. It was the black and white level. That theme.

Just about any thing from the NES, SNES and N64 versions of Legend Of Zelda. And Frog's Theme from Chrono Trigger and Magus's was pretty cool too.

Frog's theme evoked instant images of "Knight" in my brain.

Magus had such a sweet theme. The final battle music was great, too.

Hell March kicks ass. Whenever I play I put that on loop.

Other than that the Cosmo Canyon song from FFVII, and the Zelda Theme Song, the one it plays in the fields.

Hell March.

Any of the music from GTA1. It was almost all believable pop music. I could imagine tuning in the radio and hearing any of that stuff... especially that hilarious country station that had ONE song :D

Colony Wars has come ass kicking themes. Vendetta however, I always had a problem with thiers. Seemed like even in the midst of battle I'd be treated to a serenat or however you spell that.

Just that? The entire thing is written almost as good as the Star Wars themes.
