Video Game Music Thread Ver. Once More With FEELING!

A tribute to da bassline

Don’t know if people have done this before, and if so I apologize.

But, post up some your favorite bass lines in old school VG history
Here are some of mine:

Spring Yard Zone, right at the beginning:

Rolling Thunder 2, music starts at 1:00, bass goodness starts at 1:57

This entire game has wonderful music, by the way.

Never approach a crouching Lee brother:

And of course, the classic:

Gotta love those melodic bass lines!

Carlton!?

Thanks man. I COMPLETELY forgot about how much I loved that tune. Here’s one of my favorite bass line themes.

KOF 98 OST “Diet/Theme of Yuri”

http://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlEMWZPK3hqY3AzZUE9PQ

Great track. OC Remix has a cool remix called “Live at the Spring Yard.” Go check it out.

Some of the comments on YouTube are funny. One of the posters said this track reminded him of Straight Up by Paula Abdul…you know what, he’s right. :lol:

Thanks for the link. Whenever, I heard her theme I always felt like hitting the streets and yelling “Mortal Kombat”. Never knew it was called “Diet”, though. Kinda makes sense with her AOF2 stage…

Downloading…

Yeah, it definitely has that late 80’s/early 90’s vibe to it. Try Bobby Brown’s “Every Little Step”:

Creepy.

You must be seeing things…I didn’t see any Carlton. Nope.

yo oh let’s go soniiiiiicc…Doctor Robotnik noooooooo

Anyway I checked the front page and realize a site needed to be put up there

www.MetroidMetal.com

This group called stemage reinterpreted tracks from Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime 3 into Metal. If you haven’t listened or heard this stuff before then I HIGHLY recommend it. This has so much :rock::rock::rock::rock::rock::rock::rock: it doesn’t make any sense.

Personal favorites:

Metroid: Brinstar, Kraid’s Theme, Tourian/Mother Brain
Super Metroid: Everything they did
Metroid Prime: Space Pirates (love what they did with this), Title/Menu Theme
Metroid Prime 3: Theme/Bryyo (Up there with Space Pirates for me)

Also they tend to continually update with new tracks every so often but it’s random…but I tend to visit the page every so often to make sure if anything came out so if something does show up I’ll post it if there is interest.

You can really hear it around 00:28. Good stuff as always.

Another memory filled bassline…

Shinobi III - Japonesque

Yeah, I remember renting it once YEARS ago, and not surprisingly, that song was the thing I remembered most.

Shinobi games in general, were out of control with their music:

[media=youtube]z9KNtAeXfQo[/media]

Yuzo Koshiro is beast
http://sega-16.com/feature_page.php?id=136&title=Interview:%20Yuzo%20Koshiro
Don’t think he did Shinobi 3, though…

Ugh. I’m so lazy. I’ll try to catch up and contribute substantially to the thread when I get back.

For right now, [media=youtube]hV2oq50pMM8&feature=related]I forgot what good music *Star Ocean 2[/i[/media]

I really need to finish it…

I lvoe this version of Rena’s theme: [media=youtube]j5NMakAUE_0[/media]

Demon Sword stage 1 - I NEED an ocremix of this song. Seriously. [media=youtube]HKaPqSy8RhU[/media]

Shinobi music and Yuzo are too nice :rock:

I was just on some randomness on YouTube and came across one of my favorite video game songs [media=youtube]N3DbqWl3-II[/media]. I might have to run and snatch this up somehow.

Oh wow I remember playing a demo of the game when I was 10 and this song was playing, good find :tup:

This is what I want to hear when I start a JRPG: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=miee0cwDgto

(Lunar: Eternal Blue)

Crap…how could I forget this one…

Speaking of songs with great bass lines:
[media=youtube]Ct6hFpgU0Y0[/media]

No joke, this song single-handedly made me buy Nights on eBay about 8 years after playing the game at my friend’s house.

Of course, that was before I discovered Galbadia Hotel…

Excellent stuff! I just got to listen to this today and I must say I’m impressed. Good find. I’d rep you but I can’t rep you anymore lol…

Been gone for a week but its nice to see people are keeping the VGM love alive.

Since I’m on a major 8-bit music kick, I’ll post up a few NES soundtrack recommendations.

Mitsume Ga Tooru
http://www.hotdogstorm.com/bucky/explod/NES/explod_MitsumeGaTooru.zip

One of those Famicom games that never came to the states. Music is pretty catchy.

Gimmick!

http://www.housethegrate.com/upload/Gimmick%20(NES)/Gimmick.zip

Another Famicom game that never came out in the states. Excellent music. I get a bit of a Kirby vibe when I hear these tunes.

Oh if anyone knows where I could get mp3s of the NES version of Double Dragon II, much appreciated. I’ve checked but haven’t been able to come up with anything.

Moving on to non NES music…

Verytex http://www.hotdogstorm.com/bucky/explod/SMD/explod_Verytex.zip

Music from a Mega Drive shoot 'em up that stayed in Japan. The music owns hard.

Thai Guy
http://www.oneupstudios.com/ep_05.php

From Bad Dudes, this album contains nothing but Sagat remixes, and dang, are they sexy! Includes Sagat’s Moonbike, and Sly Thai Guy! Simply amazing stuff!

I’m playing through Super Metroid now and comparing the original source with their interpretation and I can’t help but be blown away with what they did when I listen to the Super Metroid tracks they did over again.

Remix albums.

Bad Dudes - Super Dodge Ball - No Balls, No Glory

Bad Dudes - Zombies Rocked My Neighbors!
