As my post about game intros is very successful I thought it would be interesting to start a topic about the

best game music ever composed

To get a better overview you have to post a screenshot or packshot of the game and then the music (MP3 / Youtube or streaming link).
You can post more than one music track.

Please post only the BEST game music, not anything that is just good.


When we have enough game music collected we could start a poll to choose the real best track ever produced.

-----------------------------------------

So here comes my highscore list:

1) Unreal (PC - 1998)

"this music just brings back so many memories, the aura created by this game trapped you in it. Awesome stuff"

RazorbackV13, Youtube



Main Theme:
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD6QbntbYPw

Best tracks:
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4z6elrcCnU&feature=related
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NApbb_uE1Ck&feature=related
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glnpnifV4Fk&feature=related

-----------------------------------------

2) Mafia (PC - 2002)

"so many memories.. this theme makes me cry.. i love mafia"

luckybastard1930, Youtube



Main Theme:

Best tracks:

-----------------------------------------

3) Tunnel B1 (PC - 1996 - Chris Hülsbeck)

"great soundtrack, great Huelsbeck"

Outlander999, Youtube

Only the NWN theme, I am not allowed post the first one because I can't find the composer.

my taste in music is more classical.

for example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VFHoo_kNL8

or like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kq1wosv-6k

Well again I cannot give a "Top Ten List" as there exists so much great music which you can hardly compare or even think of all at once...




Yeah - not a game but a company. Still you pretty much can blindfolded pick a title of theirs getting one with great music. Often because of Nubuo Uematsu which to my mind is a genius and probably one of the best composers of our time...

Here for example scenes from the great Symphonic Fantasies concert in Germany (was there - hooray wink ):

Final Fantasy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qexlgKjN8Z8
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=...p;v=MzVJPgDuoVk

Chrono Trigger:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=...p;v=abUlWFUjt-k
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=...p;v=iSKtZf-CUYU

With Tour de Japon there of course also are Japanese concerts:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAzQERH7BjY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7486oDsg04
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSxrh0_khfU

There exist tons of remixes of songs from those games - doing a good list is hardly possible...




All two games of the Freespace series had great music:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moXY_8eVy-A
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohKLy59aDVw&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noSZa7glFc4&feature=related




Fantastic soundtrack by Jeremy Soule...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_SvjZElgno&feature=channel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WulGs5aDCb4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qlZEYIS0qg&feature=related

Still there are so many games with good music. I for example really enjoyed the music in the Megaman (X) games but there also are many many more which I won't list now...
