What video game music is stuck in your head today?

[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.

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!

I been working on same game projects and will share updates here. Currently I am focused on creating 3D game assets in Blender, Here is some samples of recent work. The truck will be used in a shmup game Im working on. The spaceship was a study on hard surface modeling techniques in 3D.

Here is the link! Been putting a ton of work into the 3d art lately.

In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
What's left of me what's left of me now

That stupid song from Hong Kong '97 has been forever etched into my neural pathways ever since I was 13 or whatever watching old game reviews.

But if we mention more recent stuff, "Move Me" from Ridge Racer Type 4 has been stuck in my head, the ethereal almost dream-like composition and the fast paced drums make you feel like you're drifting in Heaven.

[Burzuru]

Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts, especially the chorus.

i really can't decide if i like sanctuary or simple and clean more. they are both great.

 

[Tom88]

In my opinion, Gravity Rush has one of the best soundtrack ever made.
