If this is too close to being the "what are you currently listening to?" thread, then feel free to lock it, but I decided we need a thread for the singular purpose of posting really good video game music! Post what you think are some of the best songs from any game on any console (including PCE/Turbo!) I'll start:
Stage 2 - Crisis Force (Famicom)

Aero Blasters Stage 2 - still one of my favorite chiptunes

chip tunes only or also redbook? :)
or should we even consider to split?

Fine choice, fine choice, I always liked that one too (and the only one out of that game if memory serves). But I'll raise you a Super Star Soldier: Stage 6, another one of my favorites:
http://youtu.be/7OrcgQq3sAo
Actually, no, I'll raise you a stage 2, too! It was
this chip tune that was one of my all time favorites:
http://youtu.be/eAV6wMyCuYo
Nostalgia moment: I tried to master this shooter many many eons ago. I could get to stage 6 with my first guy on the maximum difficulty level (that's after you've unlocked the menu with the secret code). I always loved how everything could go perfect, then the one mistake causes everything to fall apart and turn into a debacle, usually at the boss. Then you can't do nothing but keep dying because you've lost your fully powered up weapons with the first death, so all those free guys you earned mean nothing - no choice but to get completely killed off and use a continue to get another shot, eh, not always, but that was my experience a lot of the times. Fun little gem of a shooter, though!
Speaking of stage 2's I raise you Outzone Stage 2! Uemura 4 lyfe

Nice choice Henry! I like how the music changes when you start zipping through those mazes. It's a great transition and fits really nicely with the mood of the level.
It is so darn tough to choose just one track from one of this game, but I am going with the Cavern theme in Shadow of the Beast. What an amazing composition, especially with the inclusion of wind instruments.

Quote from: ccovell on 04/17/2012, 10:53 AMShadow of the Colossus - Revived Power. Fantastic! http://youtu.be/DggH6CReCNA
That was one of my many PS2 games purchased years ago that had been sitting around doing nothing until a couple of weeks ago when I somehow managed to break my spell of non-game-playing and decided to start with this! I think seeing Adam Sandler's character playing this game in his movie "Reign Over Me" also had me wondering about it, which added to my decision to finally play it! I finished it in a couple of days and while the plot is basically riding around with your horse to fight the next gigantic boss, it's an excellent game and I enjoyed it!
And yet, GoT stage 3 beats 'em all :)

It is, but the arpeggios in the melodies sort of compensate for the few sound channels on the Game Gear, producing a fuller-sounding melody. You see that trick a lot in 8-bit chiptunes (the good ones, anyway :P )

Glad you liked it too geise. :) The whole game has an incredible soundtrack. Follin was a genius at pushing hardware to its limits in terms of sound. The soundtrack for Plok doesn't sound anything like a typical SNES game. It's a great game too BTW, very cool level designs.

The Hybrid Front is a Genesis game that I've never even played, but I listen to its soundtrack all the time. The main composer is Naofumi Hataya, who did stuff like the totally bitchin' Virtua Racing replay track. (https://youtu.be/6mazhW1IvDc) Also, Sonic CD.
Youtube is shockingly short on tracks for it right now, but here's a decent one. (https://youtu.be/8svkaB7mdLU)
No joke, I actually put this stuff on when I work out.
Download the set at http://project2612.org/
While you're there, pick up the soundtrack to Cosmic Carnage. It's a terrible 32X game, but it maybe has the best soundtrack out of all the games on the system. Sample. (https://youtu.be/nDly-1YTZ8c&feature=relmfu)

I won't lie, I'm kind of a Sega junkie.
The Hybrid Front has got to be my favorite sleeper soundtrack. The whole thing is good, and there are plenty of tracks. If you get the set, load up "Rebellion Fight BGM 2" and the next one, "PETO Fight BGM 1".
One more rare one. (http://kiwi6.com/file/65ysa6g8xq) Listen with extra base for Japanese 80's PC game music at it's finest. Never played this one, either.
You know, speaking of game music, if we could make an archive-torrent of all PCE game music, specifically the chip stuff, I would download and seed the shit out of it. I feel like there must be some fantastic stuff that I don't know about, but I'm kind of turned off by the current state of HES rips and players. Even using emulators like Ootake sounds quite a lot more accurate and would be better for making rips.
Anyway, I'll shut up now, but not before posting my favorite track from Legend of Xanadu II (http://kiwi6.com/file/oa95htastn).

(1) I'm loving all these tunes, especially the specific tracks you singled out. Everything is great :pcgs:
(2) A few of us are trying to create ONE massive archive for all TG-16/PCE music. Honestly, I don't even care if it is redundant, I want to create ONE place where EVERYTHING can be found (.hes, mp3, whatever).
(3) My dream is that we will be able to include excellent metadata for everything, plus cover art. This will be the most labor intensive aspect, but we can slowly chop away at it. First, get all the music in one place. Next, fastidiously document/tag everything.
(4) A fellow PCE fan created something that I'll share with everyone tonight. I've been too busy to check it out myself. Hopefully some folks will enjoy it :pcgs:.
Awesome news all around, my friend. :)
You should try to find a couple PCE music junkies and do it with them. If you throw it out there for everyone, it will be too hard to manage, but a couple key people to split the workload with you could make things look a lot more doable.
Hope to see it happen!
Since someone posted a track from Dune 2 I though some Dune tracks are in order. First, the intro (https://youtu.be/6BZXRcwC1UU), this thing not only is really great mood setting music but the visual are absolutely a work of art in and of themselves.
Then there is the travel (https://youtu.be/LWXFX7LpCHA&feature=relmfu) music.
Lastly a track from one of my personal favorites on the NES, Guardian Legend (https://youtu.be/DZi5S6_Vyvs).
Wow! I almost posted some music from Dune on PC... glad someone else did! Excellent music / game that one was.
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!
Burning Force on the Genesis is an average game with some respectable visuals and some good songs. The arcade version is better on each front. This is maybe the best tune in the game, from stage four of the arcade version. Journey back to 1989...
http://youtu.be/EV6-9zlFKyM
As an odd aside, I think the simple image of the collapsed dome on the edge of the scrolling ocean's horizon in stage one of the genesis version is actually really cool. The music goes well with it. Sound effects are too loud, though.

Lots of folks have tried the amazing Gimmick! on the Famicom, if only through emulation. It's an amazing game with a happy soundtrack that compliments the visual atmosphere perfectly. The first stage music is great, but if you ask me, it's the music to the paradise-in-the-clouds last stage (only reachable by collecting hidden items in the other stages) that's the best. Be sure to listen with some bass!
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32377930/Gimmick%20-%20Sophia.mp3
Gimmick used a sound enhancement chip called the FME-07, so even if you find ordinary Famicom music a little on the primitive side, this one might surprise you.
Basically all the music in Metamorphic Force. Such an amazing game! This is from the final boss fight.

I immediately hunted down the complete soundtrack. Awesome pick! The music gets a little drowned out in the game itself, so it's nice to get a straight take of it.
One of my all-time favorite soundtracks is Battle Garegga's. Every track is good, and there's plenty of variety - so much that I hate to pick one track to represent the whole thing. Here's Stage 1, and with a nice bonus - while the track on the CD doesn't really loop at all, I went ahead and manually looped it three times.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32377930/Battle%20Garegga%20%28J%2904.mp3
Funny thing about this track - it sounds good coming out of crappy speakers. Somehow, I think that's how it would sound playing through some crude old radio headphones in a WWII fighter cockpit.

It's samples. The snes is good at samples, but that's about :)
Still plok is the most impressive stuff on the snes to date :)
Plok? PLOK??? The main theme is pretty impressive sounding but that's really the only good tune in the game. And the tune isn't even very good, it just has good sound quality. The impressiveness goes away once the cheesy SNES electric guitars start, though. Also, horrid game. Super Adventure Island impresses me more because I actually want to listen to it.
The Super Aleste (Space Megaforce) OST is pretty impressive, I think. You don't hear electro/dance tracks done quite so well on the SNES very often...but feel free to prove me wrong there.
I love Super Aleste's music! SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE MEGAFOOOOOOOOOOOORCE!

I was put off by it at first, but I've come to absolutely LOVE Zuntata's music. It's like cheese sandwiched between art.
Zuntata is amazing! Check out their live performances. It will blow your MIND!

Quote from: Joe Redifer on 04/26/2013, 01:18 AMPlok? PLOK??? The main theme is pretty impressive sounding but that's really the only good tune in the game. And the tune isn't even very good, it just has good sound quality. The impressiveness goes away once the cheesy SNES electric guitars start, though. Also, horrid game. Super Adventure Island impresses me more because I actually want to listen to it.
Lol, didn't even see this post for over a month. So the main theme is the only one good tune in that game? lol!
Then lissen to the beach:

These are two absolue killer tunez on the SFC/SNES and I consider them something of the best the snes could ever let out acoustically.
Even when Shigeru Miyamoto first heard Plok's theme song, he couldn't believe it was coming out of a regular SNES. I literally blew him out of his socks.
Lol Plok. Now this is where it's at.

Completely incomparable stuff. Plok is class of its own.
Plok is high quality, but it's just not something I really enjoy listening to. It's just technically impressive and nothing more. It's essentially the Lindsey Lohan of the retro world. Sure it's technically amazing how she's managed to keep herself in the public eye. But nobody wants to go down on that thing.
Quote from: SuperDeadite on 06/05/2013, 10:10 PMbut it's just not something I really enjoy listening to.
This point is arguable and in matter of fact, depends on eachs own taste of music.
F.e. You love Pink, and I can't stand it, but that doesn't automatically mean that it's bad music.
Same here, beside the high quality and technically impressive stuff in the front, I also love and very much appreciate Follins compositions behind it.
Yeah Tats those Plok tunes aren't very good. Like Superdeadite said, they're somewhat impressive technically but the music itself is just pure shit. I have all of the Plok tracks to listen to on my SNES at any time and have heard them all. The beach tune takes a minute to even get going. That's a pet peeve of mine, music that takes forever to even start. Have you actually played the game Plok? Damn, it's pure shit and that horrible first level music (which actually plays for the first several levels) doesn't help it at all.
So while it may be impressive technically, without actual good music it's worthless. I'd love to hear good music with this kind of sound quality. I'd rather listen to Super Castlevania 4. Or F-Zero. Or even Donkey Kong Country. Each have much better music with less sound quality. Tom Folin would serve better as a sound engineer than a musician. He's great with sound quality and can write really good sound engines, but as a musician he's hit or miss in my opinion. He's definitely overrated. People go apeshit over his TimeTrax Genesis track like it's the best song/sound quality on the Genesis or something. It's neither, not even close. It's good music but not balls to the wall amazing like the rest of the internet would have you believe.
As I just stated above, music taste is very arguable. For some (inlcuding you and dead) it is plain shit, other like me appreciate it very much. It's nothing to discuss any further.
How about some more gimmick for this thread,well mr.gimmick to be exact :roll: :mrgreen:

I really liked those tunes. Prog-rock-y goodness coming out of a SNES! I've never even heard of the game, though.
I've been playing a lot of Dragon Spirit on PC-Engine and arcade this past week. I really love the music in this game. I have played it many years ago, but coming back to it has been quite nice.
Fravorite track is Area 2 Volcano.

Needless to say, but:

Never got to play it myself, but wanted to eventually get around to it. Eh, didn't much like that track BTW. I should hope there are better ones for a Falcom game than that.

Most of the music in popful mail is rather upbeat but good at least. Though i still stand by that the sega-cd version is the definite one to play.
Sega CD version is great! It's more action/platform and the pc-engine version is an updated pc-98 game that plays totally different. I actually prefer the pc-engine version, plus the music is better in it to me. I think most will like the Sega CD version better since it's a more straight forward game with awesome graphics. The cut scenes in both games are also amazing.
