If someone told me you could finish that game by only sliding, I would believe them.

It was the era of the oontz, oontz, oontz beat, but no complaints here. The ost does its job.

Crafting / farm games don't usually have a reason to do much more than have chill bgm, but this is great

 

The Frontiers ost, and esp. the cyberspace stages are amazing as-is, but yeah, I can get down with this.

Indeedy. It was during the same concert of that year. Apparently, this is a thing they continue to do ala Video Games Live.

Official site

 

Themes from Mega Man 1 - 3 are here, including a couple of Wily Castles.

 

A turn-based rpg about travel and discovery in a very shonen kind of way. Now that I think about it, Skies takes a page or two from Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Anyway, one of the early lands has some of the most memorable music.

The ost was released physically by Wayo Records here. If you care enough about the soundtrack as a whole, it's a beautiful recording and a neat cd collection to own, despite missing a few tracks here and there.

OC Remix also has a remix album here

Prodeus might have been the first time in a while that I had a great time in an fps.

Spent Fuel is a downbeat industrial metal track that symbolizes the game's "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum" attitude.

 

The long, brooding original by Moraski is given a similarly dark and insidious treatment with heavy synths and punchy bass.

Check out the rest of his Portal 2 remixes here

Terraport and Reclamation are my faves from each of these games. Good stuff

Bit Brigade just performed live in Louisville, KY recently. They played a double-header of Ninja Gaiden and Double Dragon. Great show.

I do like me a good sawtooth wave.

 

Most seem to prefer "Vitality" from the same album, but I rather enjoy the darker, more intense rhythms here.

Helltaker is a slide puzzle akin to Slayaway Camp mixed with a waifu collector visual novel, and the ost has no business going this hard. I haven't played the game even once, but I've listened to this album for hours.

You can support Mittsies on Bandcamp but just be aware the artwork can be a bit....saucy.

I would be remiss to mention SayMaxwell did very popular remixes to most of the tracks as well, including this one.

 

David Wise needs no introduction, and to an extent neither does Banjo Guy Ollie and his folksy covers of game music. Here, he teams up with Game Brass for a band cover of a classic.

You didn't even know you wanted a synth cover of Doom music, did you?

 

Raptor comes from a specific era of MS-DOS shmups that also includes Tyrian/2000, Overkill and others. These were the days before Bullet Hell took over which focused on enemy patterns instead of sprays of bullet patterns.

A Raptor Remake is in progress by Scott Host, one of the devs on the original project. You can find the Patreon here

Pinball didn't need to be this weird, but the Crush series is among the most inspirational.

 

Ah, yes. The DnB days of the N64. XG2 already had a solid ost, but Mellow Sonic brings it up to a whole other level. Canous is my fave of the bunch, but if you're into it, the other tracks are well worth a listen

Support them on Bandcamp here:

Furniss replaced Forden's "The Bridge" theme, and I'm glad he did.

8-beats VGM shows how different a track can sound just by selectively muting channels.

"ABACABB" by Alby Odum is a megamix worth checking out, too

Great game, and a cool ost

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Gotta love that iconic 90s rap. It's still not as cheesey as it could be. Another fighting game that has a rap for no reason is "Gorge!" on the Primal Rage ost.

Cliché, I know, but I'm all about Esaka. Especially since they've redone it so many times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Good stuff! I also enjoyed "Brutal Battle" and the MM5 Charge Man arrangement.

I'm excited for Industrial Annihilation coming soon, too. It sounds like it's going to be pretty different.

PvZ came out of nowhere and was such a great take on the genre.

Have you seen the guzheng live cover?

Redout 1's ost is great. Lots of good fun.

I'm partial to the Cairo tracks, myself (Sand Warriors, and Desert Druids).

Not to pile on, but print ads from the 90's are wild to look at. Sonic 3 launched at $70. You know, games that require a couple of hours to complete casually. Stuff got replayed a LOT.
