Best Game Music?

[dunk]

Modern Age Civ III.

Civ II was good. I couldn't stand that Ghuhatama (sp?) Ponders, so I had to turn off the music. It was too troublesome to change the music every time it came on.

[St Leo]

HoMM2
Total Annihilation
EU2
Civ2 (except for the ear-wrenching Aliens, Mars, and XCOM tracks)

[Tuberski]

A little gane called Vortex, actually more of an interactive story, had some AWESOME music. And a pretty good story.

All LucasArts Adventure games for me, I think. The entire Monkey Island series, especially Escape, are exceleent throughout with many memorable themes. Sam and Max Hit The Road had a brilliant jazzy soundtrack, and Grim Fandango was completely and totally astounding with it's mexican-influenced lounge. Brilliant.

My favourite of all the LucasArts game soundtracks has to be Full Throttle, though, with Biker rock band The Gone Jackals providing the entire contents. Energetic eighties Green River-style proto-grunge hard rock, brilliantly integrated into the game musically.

Fav individual song:

"At Doom's Gate" from Doom

[Juggler]

HOMM3
Doom 2 (there's this insert with rock music which especially impressed me)
Warcraft 2
BG 1
Diablo 1

is that music from Civ2 gold edition? music from the gold really sucked compared with the original Civ2 music.

Same goes to Homm2 gold edition music; it cannot even compare with the original music from Heroes 2.

Add another to my list-- "People Seized With Life" from the Chrono Cross soundtrack. Excellent sad theme.

Regular edition. The Asian piece with all the weird twangy things. Like nails on a chalkboard to me. All of the other pieces were enjoyable.

AoW (especially "march of the halvlings" and "content workforce" and something with mountain but I can't remember the full title at the moment), EU and ANNO 1602 (greensleeves, march of the cavalry) have some of the best one I've ever heard

civ2 of course. with the conflicts in civ add on.

But the problem is I played civ2 far too much and eventually grew bored of the music.

Diablo 1. and to a lesser extent diablo2.

Fallout: OK maybe not fallout, but you gotta love the inkspots. but it really helped immerse you into the game.



Oh and yes the modern age for Civ3. Well I'm kidding of course. But I don't hate it like everyone else does. I find myself tapping along to it every now and then (when I used to play civ3)

Is that the string music? If so, then I must agree with you.

My favorite battle theme is Chrono Trigger's second Boss Battle music (like the battle with Azala & Tyrano, Masamune, etc.). You can really feel the weight of the world on your shoulders when it's playing.

[Traianvs]

BG, AoW (most of them were pretty good)

the songs in Sotrgonhold are pretty cool too...

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Oobir: Yeah. It's the one that plays (Spolier: )

when you fight Miguel and-- if you choose-- Dario

There were some pretty good techno shanties in that game.
