Was playing some old 8 bit nes last night and thought it was scary how many of the songs were embedded in my head. Now I have and always have been a
huge music lover, so naturally this got me thinking about not only the evoultion of Video game music which can be read
Here but also simply about how many of those songs were just damn good. Not only as
insturments of the game but for just rocking. It made me think of a few games and more so songs that till this day I just love and can not get enough
of.
So from songs to soundtracks, composer, Video game cover band or what not if you fell like I do then please take the time to share. I figured I'd
start us off with a few ......................
We all know this.
and here's another version
Bionic commando (My favorite NES game. Music from the old and reamke covered in the video.)
Final Fantasy VIII - Balamb garden (I know I spent way to much time on this game especialyl in the school looking for the card players.)
Castlevania symphony of the Night. (I remember just hiding in this game at multiple points just to chill and listen to the music. This track however
was my favorite.) AFTERTHOUGHT: You could and still can find Special editions of this for the PSX with a Bonus CD but I haven't seen one on e-bay for
awhile. Have not checked either but they were going a year or so ago for $100 + which is understood as the regular game I have seen in collector type
stores for around $50
Finally MEGA Ran. Not covers or anything but this dude has a deal with Capcom which lets him make Mega Man specific tunes. He is also performing at
the Pittsburgh Tekkoshocon tomorrow night and YES I will be there.
That's all for now but I'm sure I'll be posting more. Get back to me and thanks for listening.
That is all

Thank you and Star for the Doom theme. All I did was sit in the back of my typing class in 9th grade and play that. I regret it now. Was thinking and
def have to put some Wolfenstein tunes in here but Am gonna chill on posting 'em till later gotta make diner for the missus.
Metroid. Nice Loved that game it got played last night too. The music was killer especially that track you added. I'll never forget when I finally
beat that game fast enough to get the ending where it revealed Samus was a woman. Awesome.
Yeah the nostalgia I get from hearing all these songs is overwhelming sometimes. I spent a lot of time playing Video games. I never bought though
owned a ps2, never had an X box or PS3 just stopped basically after PSX. I was a loner child and the 8bit NES was no doubt and by far my best friend.
It was just simpler and funner times I suppose
Sorry for the Double posting. bad forum etiqutte.
