First thing that came to mind when seeing the post!
Same! Usually have to scroll way too far to find Red Alert. Guess that's a sign that the Fediverse is full of us old folks....
Dude also, the RA3 menu theme goes SO HARD
I don't know what the actual lyrics are, and I never want to know. to me they will forever be "we will stand, wake.. UP"
Dun nun nuhnuhnuh. FEE FII FUUMM
I have this as an alarm :D
DuckTales moon theme
Mega man 2
Doom
All bangers.
In the unlikely event you're unaware, half the songs in Doom are MIDI knockoffs of thrash metal hits. Particularly egregious examples: Slayer's "South of Heaven" and "Behind The Crooked Cross," Alice In Chains's's' "Them Bones," the quiet bits of Pantera's "This Love."
Also that moon level was hard as balls.
Subnautica
VICE CITY. First, nostalgia for all the 80s music, then nostalgia for playing Vice City. Double whammy
My mates Dad has a song in that game!
Jet Set Radio
StarCraft and God Hand
Total Annihilation, Rome Total War, Morrowind…
Morrowind still has the best version of that recurring theme. Understated and spacious.
Shame I can't hear it in my head without inserting the inventory's weirdly sharp sound effects. blicK blicK schlorp shVING blblorbl blicK chkuu
Ninja Gaiden (original). I'm looking at you!
Armored Core 3
Wipeout Pure
GTA Vice City
Gravity rush & Kingdom hearts
Had this recently with starcraft brood war. What an absolutely slammin soundtrack.
Radio free zerg
I played it pirated and ripped. Never knew it had music until muuuuuch later
Playing F-Zero lately and so happy they kept those bangers
Perhaps composed with this...

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.
I felt personally attacked calling Shogun 2 old! (implies I'm getting old too lol)
But seriously, that's probably my favourite total war game. It is not broken like most TW games and well balanced. There are a lot more variety and flair to it as a game with the avatar system and grooming the generals. The graphics are also beautiful and you could still run it easy enough on a crappy or low spec computer.
Agreed! I still periodically start up Shogun 2 campaigns. The music plays a part in that
Final Fantasy 6. I listened to the 3+ hours soundtrack so many times...
When the ring loads…
