Yeah that was cool. IIRC you could take the quake disk and play it in a regular CD player to listen to the main theme too.

Here's the symphonic version of "To Far Away Times" from Chrono Trigger. It's a fan version, but here's the original. If you want the full soundtrack, I recommend getting an SPC plugin for Foobar or another media player and downloading the SPCs from Zophar's domain. A lot of the SNES RPGs have fantastic music, especially considering the limitations of the console.

Final Fantasy VIII:

Vocal version of Terra's Song from FFVI:

Tales of Phantasia (they managed to get vocals into their intro on SNES!):

Here's the full Total Annihilation soundtrack (Jeremy Soule is the composer). And yes, it's epic.

Morrowind's (also Jeremy Soule):

and forgot to mention System Shock 2:

Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars:

Red Alert 2:

Unreal Tournament III (which I didn't like much versus 2004, but still had a great OST):

and lastly, Beyond Good & Evil, which has a very quirky but fun soundtrack:

EDIT: Honorable Mention: Crusaders of Might & Magic (which wasn't very popular, but was one of the first games I ever got on PC):

I've always loved tunes that have had a bit of a patriotic undertone to them, so Metal Gear Solid 4 (and 2) always get me.

From the same game (movie?). I remember being so excited when I first started this game up, and when this theme came on at the opening credits I thought I was going to piss myself:

Xenogears
FF7
JSRF

Does the music from the Initial D games count since its largely the same as the anime? I remember blasting that on my drives from SF to LA at 3AM to keep me awake.

All Battlefield and Command and Conquer soundtracks for me. Some of the tracks in CnC Generals and Zero Hour are play in some TV shows and movies.

I've only played Battlefield 4, but I like the intro "Stutter" a lot, as well as a few of the other tracks. Love all the Command and Conquer soundtracks, too.

I'd bet you'll like Medal of Honor: Warfighter's soundtrack, it's fantastic. Never actually played the game - looking at the review score now, it's good I didn't - but I'm a fan of Ramin Djawadi (Prison Break, Iron Man, System Shock 2, Medal of Honor, Game of Thrones, and The Strain, to name a few other soundtracks he's responsible for or worked on with others) and Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park/Fort Minor). The intro starts with a Linkin Park track ("Castle of Glass") before proceeding to the score. I'm betting most Hans Zimmer and Bear McCreary fans will like it, too.

Burnout Paradise

Hm. It's my favorite racing game, but the soundtrack was basically a small set of rotated songs.

The best was the title song which stayed enjoyable a long time but wasn't really great, and the others were a mix, some of which became 'not that again, skip'.

Some seemed not that great for the game and the list seemed pretty limited.

I used to take PS2 games and pop them in the CD player to see if I could hear music and I could! Even the demos I found in magazines.

John Connor · Oct 1, 2014

This was a damn hard game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB-BrebrIK4

I bring that up because of amdhunter mentioning Tomb Raider. I played like 15 minutes of it and could never figure it out. LOL! It was like when I played Zelda for the first time on Nintendo. Could never figure it out. All I knew was I had to go to houses and collect shit. Never touched a Zelda game after that. LOL. The only RPG I liked was Resident Evil. And yes, it is a RPG becuae you chose the outcome based on the character picked and the path you chose in the game.

I played that game so much I may have learned to like all the songs. I did turn off some of the tracks...I remember at the time being able to do that was a big deal on the PS3.

Mega Man 2
Contra
FF6 and 7

kage69 · Oct 1, 2014

Hrmmm. Not sure I've got a favorite, but games that I recall having nice sound were Icewind Dale and Total Annihilation.

Anubis · Oct 1, 2014

The Halo soundtracks win hands down for me. there is basically no real contest

next on the list would be Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger but they are in a distant 2nd and 3rd

Halo 1 and Reach are my favorites of the series. "Winter Contingency" might be the single track I like the most:

"Tip of the Spear" and "Exodus" are good, too, as is the main title theme of the series.

drebo · Oct 1, 2014

Ultima Online had some great MIDI themes... Skara Brae was one of my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMq-CX9_qyU

Breath of Fire and Secret of Mana both had awesome music. Chrono Trigger, too.

is in near the top for me, the track is great and the first time you hear it in the game is just an amazing scene

I do like Medal of Honor soundtrack too. Especially "Heroes Abroad" in the 2010 game.
