Your top five VGM tracks of all time...

[J0e Musashi]

This is the best piece of video game music in history.

[chojin]

I was going to go for Ryu's stage as a personal favourite!!...


No. 5: Legend Of The Mystical Ninja - Odeo Travel Agency, which I'm pretty sure Beyonce used in her song "Love On Top"

Noi 4: Starfox - Meteor

N0 3: Everyone's A Wally that Spectrum classic..

No 2: Akumajo Dracula X - Blood Relations Of Heaven & Earth

No 1: Super Hang-On - Outride A Crisis

[Sam The Man]

Getting my list down to 5 is going to be really tough.

[Cepp]

This is too difficult but here's my top 5 as of right now (in no particular order).

Ninja Gaiden - Unbreakable Determination

C&C Red Alert 2 - Hell March

Journey to Silius - Stage 1

Streets of Rage 2 - Title Theme

Epic Pinball - Super Android

Been trying to choose for the last few nights and my short-list is just getting longer the more I ponder. All of them are stone cold classics in my eyes and I need to stop thinking about which are best and move on with my life. I also need to find time to organise my vgm collection too - a real mess of folders and poorly tagged mp3's.

[Colin]

These are the tunes that fill me with joy. Most of them are first stage tracks, they're ingrained in to my brain through decades of play -

R-Type



Dracula-X



Bubble Bobble -



Garou Mark of the Wolves - Sunrise on the train



And of course, for me, Soldier Blade

[Leon Retro]

Both great tunes. The SMW track, especially, fills me with nostalgia.

Rainbow Road from Super Mario Kart

Love it!

Bubble Bobble -

Suits the game perfectly. Although it drives me mad in the end.. it's really hypnotic.

[acidbearboy]

I'm glad somebody else posted Devil Crash. Awesome tune. Jaki Crush on SFC also has some wicked music.

[Colin]

Devil Crash is a belter.

[samanosuke]

I'm glad somebody else posted Devil Crash. Awesome tune. Jaki Crush on SFC also has some wicked music.

The PCE version is one of those "forever burnt in my mind" tracks. Love it!

[speedlolita]

The entire Third Strike soundtrack is brilliant in my opinion, but this is my favourite piece.

I also adore the Vib Ribbon soundtrack, the 2nd track in particular.

Guilty pleasure from Sonic Adventure 2.

Really enjoyed the field music in Nier too. That game is ridiculously overlooked, the soundtrack is easily on the level of a Final Fantasy one.

And finally I guess I'll leave this tune from Thunder Force IV. I'm not the biggest fan of the TF series but damn did Technosoft know how to compose!

[chojin]

Thunder Force IV was on my list... Need to pick this up for the MD.

[speedlolita]

On a Super Famicom bender right now but I'd definitely like to pick up a nice JP launch MD again, if only for the sound capability of the hardware. So very nice.

[Mayhem]

It's probably fair to say that I could throw up C64 SID tracks until the cows come home, it was THE memorable music videogame platform of the 80s. Yes, more than the NES or Amiga. Couple of left field tracks, somewhat, they are just moments of bizarre genius...
