Unreal engine soundtracks are something else. That Ahoy video on tracker music played three seconds of the song from Unreal Tournament's Facing Worlds, and apparently I had a neuron that'd been hoarding the good chemicals for a while.

Contemporary-ish titles Quake 2 and 3 were far more butt-rock, but they're good stupid fun that fit the gameplay perfectly.

Also I would absolutely restart Katamari Damacy levels to get "Lonely Rolling Star."

I remember buying a jewel-box Unreal Anthology with a soundtrack cd. Never played these games before and wow, after hearing these bangers in-game I was listening to them that much I think I put this disk to scratches.

A soundtrack CD for Unreal is kinda funny, since I think the files would fit on a couple floppies.

Hah, I get what you mean. But I I've found a rip of it. 'A History of Unreal Music', 137mb total in 256kb\s mp3. It actually features tracks from Unreal+UT+UT2004.

The disk art from it is a real head spinner: https://archive.org/details/unreal-anthology

Putting music in the UT menu was ingenious. It would feel like you launched an operating system by mistake, if not for that low tension cranking away from the get-go.
