BD retro VGM Playlist - Post ONE retro game music track!

[prinnysquad]

What’s the most recent gen to be considered retro?

[Colin]

All these years later I still play this game through every couple of weeks, and this first stage music still gives me a buzz every time I hear it.



As a kid I would take the bus to a nearby seaside town just to play R-Type, and nothing but R-Type. When I bought my first PC-Engine and got my hands on a copy of the game, it was one of the greatest gaming moments of my life!

360/PS 3 must be Retro now IMO

[hudson]

I wanna say chip music. So, pre-93/94?

[dataDave]

Anything before video game music became regular music. So before the dawn of CD audio. Midi audio should still count.

[hudson]

Yeah, that's fine, so you could technically have Final Fantasy vii and the like. I don't want no red book audio with whaling guitars lol.

Although there are some great wailing (whaling?) guitars from the 16- bit era.

Or Prodigy’s Firestarter from Wipeout 2097. What a choon but doesn’t belong here IMO.

Talking of R-Type, for me Chris Huelsbeck’s intro on the Amiga is surely one of the greatest video game tunes ever composed?

Used to like this on C64.

That's a really nice, jolly tune. I like how it sounds pretty clean with a nice amount of oomph. SID...

[samanosuke]

Yessss! This playlist was desperately missing a SID track!!

Always thought it was a cracker - really catchy and memorable.

Gotta be:

Surprised this hadn't been posted yet!
