my favorite from deus ex is UNATCO or hong kong theme. hong kong is one of the best levels in any game, ever.

Yeah, I might the UNATCO and Hong Kong tracks are very good, too. It's amazing how atmospheric that game was for the time (same for System Shock 2). Deus Ex has more than a few excellent tracks.

I [heart] Sonic Mayhem. Ever hear their contribution to 007 Tomorrow Never Dies on Playstation? The rest of the tracks were Tommy Tallarico, who they definitely out-shined:

I'm guessing they took inspiration from the "Goldeneye 007" musical talent at Rareware but they knocked it out of the park. It's excessively distorted but that was the style then.

That's pretty cool. Definitely has a Goldeneye-meets-Quake vibe to it.

Music in older games was just better. Even though a new CoD, or similarly high-budget scripted action game, may have music that is technically well-done...e.g. they actually paid someone to write and record original pieces with a fair-sized orchestra...nothing has that catchiness that 90's games had.

And in the case of 90's shooters, it was a 'fuck yeah let's gib some mofos' kind of catchiness...even when it was a little generic, it was still just some good rock/metal, often with heavy industrial or prog influences.

I'm going with Stones from Ultima.

Quake 2 will always be the best.

The one that still gets stuck in my head 30+ years later is the theme from M.U.L.E.

Unfortunately my NIN phase and my Quake phase were a good 10 years apart.

 

[phucheneh]

Definitely a pretty widely-know thing, but I can see forgetting it. I knew he did it, but it took that link to make me remember how awesome it was (I'm not a big NIN fan; don't hate it, but don't love it either).

Quake2 lacked the same dark atmosphere, but those songs are just my fucking jams, bruh. That game was my first formidable PC gaming experience...I played Quake1 much less, and only ever played it online AFTER Quake2 was out, generally just with people who I'd met because of the latter game. Also, there was no Quake2 TF and TFC wasn't out yet.

Memories...

I doubt anyone will remember this, but in the old days...we were all very very eagerly anticipating the release of Quake 2. And I believe this actually happened on or right near April fools day, but someone in ID released a set of fake sound effects that were supposedly from the upcoming game. And they were so goddamn hilarious. Like when you were shot the sound was "ergggg" and they had a really good one for the "last boss dying sound" which was just some guy saying "arggggggggggggh" into a microphone. So good.

If you remember this, you grew up in the greatest era of gaming ever to exist.

Paper Mario: Gusty Gulch Adventure

I'm a big fan of Nintendo music in general, but I'm not hearing anything redeeming there. Just aimless meandering.

That's the reason I didn't like anything from Zelda OoT/MM except the Gerudo Valley theme in OoT.
