Best game soundtracks ever

[Lord_Santa]

International Karate (C-64)



Ron Hubbard makes fantastic music in general, but this surely stands out as the greatest

Quake 1 (PC)

NiN + Fast-paced-action = WIN!

and of course:

Chimera (C-64)



Ron Hubbard (again)

:edit

do note that they sound differently on a C-64 due to the computer's SID-chip

Final Fantasy VII. Without. A. Doubt.

Shatter (just beat the game and had to buy the soundtrack because I can't get enough)
Katamari Damacy
Pretty much anything Shoji Meguro does the soundtrack for (Shin Megami Tensei games mostly)
Tetrisphere
Zone of the Enders 2
Metroid (I love the original NES music)

Well since everyone who has played Scott Pilgrim agrees that the soundtrack kicks ass, it's bout time it got mentioned in this thread. Some of my fave tracks:

Damnit why no PC or DS versions of Scott Pilgrim



Alan Wake's soundtrack is pretty good.

Metroid (I love the original NES music)

I've actually thrown Metroid in my NES while I'm working at home just to hear the opening theme.

Please excuse my language, but that music sets the motherfucking tone for the entire fucking game.

Some of my favourite video game soundtracks are:
Metal Gear Solid
Devil May Cry
Demon's Souls
Halo
Final Fantasy

EDIT: Also Shadow of the Colossus has an amazing soundtrack.

Bumping this topic... I have to add Ristar for Genesis.. Probably fine tuning that sound chip at the end of the console's life!!!

One of my favorite sound tracks is from Guilty Gear. Lucky for us, the creator of the game/composer/all-around badass also performs live versions of these songs with his band A.S.H.

If you haven't heard this music, do yourself a favor and take a listen.

One of the reasons I think this sound track is so awesome is that I love it so much, and I've never even played the game.

Are you talking about the whole series or just the first game on PS1?
