Perhaps Some of the Best NES Music...

[bladerunner]

I just busted out my old copy of Robocop 3 for the NES the other day. I still don't care for the game, but man do I LOVE the title screen and its music.



I mean the girl is holding an uzi. Come on!

The music is some of the best. Anyone got any other awesome NES tunes?

I didn't know that you could make a sandwich with an uzi.

[quote=[/quote] is a classic of course. Sounds almost baroque. Apparently it got sampled by some rapper.

I had never played this game or heard any of it's music... but I have to say that title opening is pretty darn good. One of my favorite openings of all time is Mega Man 3; I can't really say why, but it is really catchy to me and I can't hear it enough!

Good call on Robocop. First time I've heard it, and you're right it really rocks. Reminds me a lot of how Commodore 64 tracks sound. There's so much great NES music I don't know where to begin. Here are some of my favorite games that also have great music, overall:

SunSoft
Batman
Blaster Master
Journey to Silius
Mr. Gimmick

Obvious Ones
Bionic Commando
Castlevania III (JP version)
Contra
Duck Tales
Life Force
Mega Man 2
Super Mario Bros. 3

Not So Obvious
Goonies II
Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu
Just Breed
Ys II

Some other NES games with great soundtracks:

Tecmo World Cup Soccer
Goonies II
Double Dragon II
Ys (JP)
Shadowgate
Faxanadu
Zelda
Castlevania I-III (I agree, III in JP)


..and this thread wouldn't be complete without the quintessential NES theme song:

Two games come to mind
Batman
and
XEXYZ

Listen to The Blue Marlin's OST, it's as good as the game's dialogue:

"The reel is smoking, what do you do?"

Listen to some muzak, that's what!

I like Gremlins II - The New Batch music and Captain Tsubasa Vol 2.

I am not sure about the guy involved in Gremlins II - The New Batch music, but I can feel a lil bit tango there?.
I think both are sound-music masterpieces.

Megami Tensei I
Megami Tensei II
King's Quest V
Startropics
Startropics 2
Castlevania
Castlevania 2
Zelda II

OK, I'd better stop now. There are way too many to list. Heh.

Most of Megami Tensei II's music is reused from Megami Tensei I, but it does have some new songs which are pretty good.
