The DEFINITE Video Game Music Awesomeness Thread
Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 2:59 am
Now, I'm gonna go a tad close here. I love music. That's a given. As I play the guitar, I love to hear its chords screaming loudly. But besides regular music, I absolutely respect music that was made for video games.
That's why I created this thread. The DEFINITE Video Game Music Awesomeness Thread (DVGMAT) is the place to share your personal selections of the best scores in Gaming history, even if it was composed by legends like Koji Kondo (Mario Bros; Legend of Zelda series) or Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy series). Even if the game's unknown or an indie game, feel free to post them! We're all ears. =)
I'm gonna start with a few:
