The OW Archive of Great Videogame Music Thread
« on: Friday, May 16, 2014, 10:57:26 PM »
Felt like a good thread to make since we can embed youtube vids, so let's do this.

Ducktales - The Moon Theme

Chrono Trigger - Gato's Theme

Starfox - Space Armada Stage

Super Mario Galaxy - Battlerock Galaxy

Shadow of the Colossus - The Opened Way

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team - Welcome to Pi'illo Blimport

And I'll put this here ironically.

X-Men Arcade - Junk Factory

No actually, it really is the best of the bunch.

That's a pretty scattered bunch of music but thats the point. Put in anything you really like that's been in a video game.

I love this thread and it's awesome, but I'm also sad, because I can never view it again. My computer chokes to fucking death on threads with more than a couple embedded videos. Even typing this reply took like 35 seconds of waiting for them to pop up in the previous posts area.

It's very chuggy here too.  It's a shame we lost the old spoiler code.  That would be the place to embed the videos, with a simple link above each one (outside of the spoiler tags).  Maybe we can put together a "lite" companion thread with just links?  I really like the idea of a game-music thread, but to continue adding embedded videos to the current one may not be practical.

Yea... damn. It's fine for me but Im sure as people will keep adding it will probably get bad. Probably the best thing we can do is hyperlink text. Just be sure to title it so its easy to organize.

The good thing about using links instead of embedding is that the individual tracks in full OSTs are generally available in links within the descriptions from the uploaders.

Here's a couple more:

Super Mario RPG Soundtrack
(There's a flub at 1:08, in the very first track--the best one.  Kind of unforgivable, but I can't find a better overall compilation.)

Crystalis (NES) Soundtrack

Heh. The Narshe Mines music. I've made sure that Mabel's already heard that.

Forgot a favorite from when I was little.

I recommend everyone bookmarking this.

That's a pretty great site. I found it pretty funny when I clicked on the Windows 3.1 area and of course all they have is canyon.mid.

And you reminded me of this thread.  I've been playing Guacamelee STCE.  It's a great, fairly hardcore 2D platformer, and has an awesome soundtrack.  The tracks are all linked individually in the description.  7, 11, 13 and 15 are probably my faves, but there is too much catchy music here to be sure.

LUFTRAUSERS!

The whole soundtrack is on there, or really all the variations of that one song, but the one that should load is my personal fav.

Sy posted a good song from Mass Effect. I've been playing ME3 finally and man does it really make me miss Bioware of old. Anyway hearing the Galaxy Map song again hits me directly in the feels, just so good.

Mass Effect - Galaxy Map Theme
