I'll start off with Raiden II's Repeated Tragedy.

A local restaurant had this game, and every time we went, I'd beg my parents for money so that I could play it. I wasn't very good at the game, so I never got past the first stage, and so I heard this song a lot. Really gives me nostalgia.

Also got to shout out Streets, from Timesplitters too. I put a lot of time into this game as a kid, and this song is what got me into futurepop (love me some VNV Nation).

for burned into brain it's definitely chiptune music from NES games I played as a kid like:

Big Nose the Caveman - Level 2

Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy - Pirate Ship

The Jetsons - Cogswells Caper! Level 1

also I guess the Quake 3 Rocket Arena 3 theme from back in the day

when parts of this or this come on while playing ESO in the Morrowind region it feels special

There's also a lot of game music I like but from games I never played so I won't list any of those

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 8 points 13 hours ago

The ambient music from Mass Effect 2 that plays while you're probing for resources. I know lots of people hated that mini-game, but I found it extremely soothing and spent hours and hours doing it.

The galaxy map song from that game is what got me into ambient music and changed my life for the better. It just hits my brain perfectly

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 10 points 14 hours ago

I probably spent so much time during my formative years (and some of my adulthood) playing Age of Empires II and Age of Mythology that these were the only ones I could remember off the top of my head. Many others I can remember if I think about the game, but not as easy.

Also, Asylum Demon, Firelink Shrine, Ornstein and Smough and Gwyn Lord of Cinder from Dark Souls 1. I've probably beat that game dozens, if not hundreds of times, and have used a ton of playthroughs as background noise before going to bed.

The Whirling in Rags theme and Martinaise theme (the one with the distorted horn) from Disco Elysium.

Every boss theme from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

About half of the character themes from Guilty Gear: Strive (and I haven't even played the game!).

FTL: Faster Than Light

MechWarrior 2

Total Annihilation

Hotline Miami

[-] principalkohoutek@hexbear.net 7 points 17 hours ago

FTL soundtrack is great

A friend of mine plays video games on speakers and has the Hotline Miami soundtrack playing in the background of all games, so whenever he mics in, I hear that playing in the background

Risk of Rain 2 menu theme, I will get this song stuck on a loop inside my head for hours at a time.

On Christmas Day of 1999, I was gifted a copy of Homeworld. A few days later I was treated to a very groovy credits track by Yes, a band I had never heard of... but now wanted to hear more of. So I decided to give this new thing called Napster a try, and my first search was Homeworld Yes. The rest is history - in a real sense, I discovered music that day.

[-] RedDawn@hexbear.net 8 points 17 hours ago

Lots of songs from the Zelda games. Gerudo Valley and Lost Woods from Ocarina of Time come to mind.

Okay, the songs that are belovedly burned into my brain are coming from FF7 Original, Disco Elysium, Civ 4, and so on. They're great songs from great games.

But this is permanently burned into my brain because it's just so fucking weird.

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 17 hours ago

Ah, video game songs that are just plain weird are one of my guilty pleasures. Here's one that lives rent-free in my head.

IMO Pyre is criminally underrated. The story is leftist and emotional as fuck and it kills me that it nobody has played it. I am also a huge sucker for Ashley Barrett and Darren Korb harmonizing.

Also bonus Undertale

It's hard to sell nerds on magic basketball

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 12 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

I never played Pyre, but the two of them have definitely done some great songs. Zulf and Zia's songs in Bastion were great.

EDIT: the scene at the end where you

spoilerSave Zulf while his song plays

brought a tear to my eye the first time through.

I liked Pyre but I've still played it the least of Supergiant's offerings. Transistor is probably my favorite OST.

Street Fighter 3 Third Strike - Character Select theme I don't have nostalgia since I don't really play it, but it's probably one of my fav character select theme for some reason

C&C Tiberian Sun - Lone Trooper All C&C games have bangers but I particularly like the Tiberian Sun soundtrack

Guilty Gear Strive - Requiem [I-No's theme] I just love the character and I just wished they added her boss theme from the Korean OST of GGXX

The entire ULTRAKILL soundtrack. great mix of metal and breakbeat.

Hard to pick one track so might as well begin at the start:

Into the Fire

Terraria. Just the normal daytime outside theme. I can perfectly hear it in my mind.

Mickey Rourke's voice lines in the atrociously bad game Rogue Warrior, spliced by the Devs into a rap for the end credits: https://youtu.be/OVoyGUcXepc I would do it for karaoke if anywhere had it as a track.

GoldenEye pause music. Press pause, Bond flicks his wrist to look at his watch. This plays: https://youtu.be/qoWCB8AUiP4 Insanely hard beat.

Bonus mention to Zerg Free Radio in Starcraft, a parody of Radio Free propaganda channels: https://youtu.be/o7XV9fRAhu0

BF2's MEC (Middle East) theme goes pretty hard: https://youtu.be/S0aXAm0jqd0

Battlefield Play4Free's loading theme: https://youtu.be/5lcQntE4JuY

DOTA 2 had some bangers. Patches The Pirate theme from Hearthstone (the WoW pirate theme). Really I could go on for days.

[-] ItsPequod@hexbear.net 3 points 13 hours ago

I found this remix of the China theme from BF2, so good. Also, now everyone remembers Battlefield Heroes existed. You're welcome!

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Ha, I played Heroes too. I think it's theme was an Easter Egg in BFV or BF1. Pretty fun game actually.

It had space battles, Luchadores vs Cowboys (https://youtu.be/59-qyN6wM_s), funny little self aware trailers (https://youtu.be/cvmwcU9jQ3M)... Honestly, pretty ahead of its time.

The China theme rules too.
