The video game music that dug into your brain...

[OPT1MUS]

The video game music that dug into your brain and stayed there for a looong time?
For me, more than 20 years ago, it was this

Then nothing (for 20 years) but when I finally played the 3rd chapter some time ago... BAM! There it is again, settling in my head and never going away
(Do you know what game is... right?)

So, what's the music that had the same effect on you?

Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts, especially the chorus.

This

It's still inside my head, waiting for the day I use it for my funeral; way better than the other funeral songs out there

 

[Faust03]

this was my ringtone for a while, which didn't help

 

[Elwiwi]

The song that goes " din din dan " from expedition 33 and open your heart from Sonic adventure

 

[Cu-Neo]

After watching Shadow "defeat" Eggman with the help of Omega, the credits came with this great theme

Wow, guys, all great musics... from "vintage" to modern days!
GOOD!

Noone said "Taito" I'm shocked. Basically any of their arcade games have the most memorable themes like Bubble Bobble and Puzzle Bobble.

For me, pretty much every song on the Sonic Adventure 2 and Street Fighter 3 Third Strike soundtracks are still occupying space in my brain, but the biggest one has still gotta be this:

I remember when Black/White first released and me and my brother were lucky to get them on release day. We played them so much we could actually hear music and sound effects from the games play in our head even after we'd put our DS's down. It's something we still joke about sometimes to this day.

For some reason these are the ones that first came to my mind. Must be a reason for that:

[NekketsuFighter]

MAMBO DE CHOCOBO!

 

[Sleepstate]

The Kirby 64 Soundtrack in it's entirety

 

[Glossy Cat]

The Super Mario Bros theme as well as Mega Man 2, Metroid, Metroid Zero Mission, Dead Cells, Minecraft and Retro City Rampage. Those stay with me.

 

[Graves Ruinwalker]

The whole shadowrun soundtrack stucks in my brain from the moment i first played it .
Peak 16-bit soundtrack goodness that underlines everything perfect what i do in my life.

 

[Rox00]

Of all the game tracks out there, Corridors of Time is the one song that has stuck with me the most. Doesn't help I play it a ton whenever it's something calm like drawing or doing a little work lol.

Two kind of weird ones

Hello fellow Shenmue gamer.

One time during a vacation I played so much Gameboy that the music played nonstop in my head exactly like it sounded in the game and nonstop. It was actually kinda scary.

 

[sun0wl]

Just...anything from Hiroki Kikuta, really.

Slight tonal shift: Anything from the the PS2/DS soundtrack of Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side lol.

These songs loop in my head daily...Probably because I also use them and the Persona 3 Portable songs in my alarm clock app

I always knew, but what I did not know was that it was really called Guevara in Japan!

I'd love to see the project when you finish, let me know if there's anything I can do to help!
