searched many time for remixes of this track, some originals cant be beaten

And i HATE drum'n'bass but i love this track!!

 

[cyclonus10]

So many bangers on Nintendo machines back in the day.

But if you had to nailed down, it would be this track.

It was dance music before i even knew it was dance music. Many years clubbing ensued after this

 

[cyclonus10]

From the GOAT FPS, yes,i've played HL1, HL2, countless other fps's

2:13 onwards, best version of Cradle i've heard.

Gotta post his as I always do but yeah one of my fave games from the 90’s end of probs posted it before but whatever man it’s so so good

Great thread!

Going to throw in a few probably forgotten or unknown gems and show my age

The Mega CD was a complete game changer for game music, some of the OSTs, especially by core design were materpieces

Remember that time futuremark made a game?

Was on the community early access and testing for this and personally loved it, shame it failed

Sound track was absolutely phenomenal if you have a good sound system it's all worth a listen!

So many good OST from the past. From games currently in my rotation.

Radiant Silvergun (1998)

Crimzon Clover (2011)

 

[cyclonus10]

I rarely like any mash-ups but this one is fire

 

[cyclonus10]

My fave thing while drunk is finding classical instrumental versions of vgm tracks, had to share this one though, great game, great music

She is great, the level of complexity in these tracks they created "back in the day" is incredible

 

[cyclonus10]

Lets not forget the music "modders", i still prefer the OST version but this remix is fab

 

[cyclonus10]

RYU, Vega and Guile's music, great combo

 

[cyclonus10]

I remember dropping £60 on this JAP import for my US SNES during the europe/US/JAP release nonsense we had to deal with "back in the day".
Wait 6-12 months for a UK release? Nah mate, i got this covered

 

[cyclonus10]

Completely blown away by this game when it first came out, post Goldeneye, Half Life so it wasn't as if it was my fist rodeo with great/good/ half decent FPS games.

People underestimate how important a soundtrack is but Turok 2 is probably the epitome of the music makes the game, much like the music makes the film, ala Conan The Barbarian 1982.

They just wouldn't be as good without the music.

 

[cyclonus10]

The best Turok "suite" out there

That connection between game soundtracks and getting into dance music is interesting. Was it the rhythm or the synth sounds that first grabbed you?

 

[Mobius 1]

Always post this in music threads. But it’s so good I’m doing it again and yes I know it’s a cover.

 

[megalomanic]

Awesome - Asteroids (AMIGA OST)

Really like this, and certainly unknown to me as well as anything not on SNES around that time or from before that

Turok 2 Seeds of Evil - Port of Adia (Orchestrated)

Good pick!, it was certainly something playing this game at launch. I was actually listening to this myself just recently, specifically this version which I really like.

Speaking of opening level themes, another that always comes to mind is Super R-Type... it really goes places

...and on remixes, I really like this one of perhaps my favorite PD track

The new Ace Combat 8 theme. Not sure of it yet. Think I prefer daredevil still.

Shadow of the Beast. I played this on my mates Amiga but discovered this PCE version, which is cleaner.
