Best versions of video game songs

Post by Erik_Twice »

Often the best version of a song isn't the one contained in the cartridge but some kind of remix or live instrument version. This thread is for those versions that surpass the original.

Bonus for keeping the same spirit!


POKÉMON - SS Anne


This is just lovely. Hearing it launches me into a nostalgia trip.

POKÉMON - Battle against Red


There are many versions of this theme. I think this is the best one. Very energic and very clean.

OUTRUN 2006- Magical Sound Shower (Euromix)


I have to say, all versions of MSS are very, very good, including the original. However I think that the Euromix just brings the emotion to the next level, it's really, really great.

DUKE NUKEM - Grabbagh


Megadeth's cover, of course. It's not only good but the game-like sounds at the beginning and Duke's quotes and grunts really create a narrative. Better than the original.
