I wasn't totally sure where to put this thread so.. Yeah. Anyways, does anybody have any videogame music tracks that make them feel really nostalgic?

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas


Dreamcast Boot Up


There's more but I can't be bothered looking right now. These are all nostalgic as fuck for me when I hear them. The Ice Cube song I just liked before San Andreas but now I just like it for another reason. Also Dreamcast baby!

Edit - I cut out like 5 songs because there's a cap on how many Youtube videos you can post.. & it's only 2!?

Argh, it won't even let me post two through my phone...

The first two that came to mind for me are http://www.youtube.c...?v=uz4BGXqnNY4'>Cyan's Theme and http://www.youtube.c...?v=UXvyGNOqlZk'>Hard Man's Stage.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about Illusion of Gaia, the game and music, and the ending track in particular. For some reason until this thread I kinda forgot I could probably youtube the music. And I was able to. Thanks for the thought.



Yeah... wow... definitely nostalgic...

When I was a little kid I had a SNES and my father played it a lot. Specifically stuff like Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, and Illusion of Gaia. I was really too young to understand how to play any of the games, but watching my father play them always made me so excited. I don't remember ever getting too far in any of those games when I was five. I couldn't get pass Onett in Earthbound because I didn't know what to do, I wouldn't leave the carnival in Chrono Trigger because I was too scared, but VI I remember at least getting to South Figaro when I was young, which was an accomplishment in itself.
Anyways, VI's music always inspires all this nostalgic feeling of when I was younger watching my dad play these games and really wishing I could too.

Wind Waker has my favorite Zelda soundtrack by far. My only wish is that it was recorded by a live orchestra. Zelda music deserves this much. I haven't played Skyward Sword, but that's one of the things that excited me about that game. But I don't think Koji Kondo was involved.

I mean...compare the score to another game of that generation that uses a full orchestra (which also makes me feel pretty nostalgic)


Of course, I don't know, old MIDI and 8 bit sounds and what not can make me feel just as nostalgic. A friend and I were just bumping some mad Megaman 3 jams the other day.


Edit: Whoa, this remixes a few themes from Beyond Good and Evil and what sounds like something from Chrono Trigger. That would do it.

Ironically that Wind Waker song makes me nostalgic for http://www.youtube.c...?v=shovuvHhFDc'>A Link to the Last. :p

This always makes me super nostalgic. And I just learned this game turned 10 years old at the beginning of this month.

I've listened to every song in this thread now. It is my current favorite thread on the forum.

I suspect I'll be alone with this next one, but Ultima 6 is the first PC RPG I've ever played, though I suppose I technically did play the SNES version (I was rather lacking in a PC back then). It had all of the features that would later define what I look for in a game: character building, an interesting setting, and most of all, exploration. I loved this game.

[Monkeydog]

I don't know if you know who he is (I know Toys does) but Spoony started doing an Ultima Retrospective covering just about every game in the series, and it made me really wish I had grown up actually playing it. I remember hearing it all the time, but I never actually played it.

Yay for Naoki in general and B4U in particular.

God Mass Effect was so good until final moments of ME3. So so good...

It has to be the most memorable music in all of videogames.
