Videogame Music
Over the years i have come to realize that most of the nostalgia that i have for the games of my youth is trigged by the music. I sometimes find myself humming melodies that i didnt realize came from a game that i haven't played for a decade, or more. This has also given me the curiousity to discover new(old) videogames, and music for games that was never exposed to.
There are many great sites already out there dedicated to archiving game music; the purpose of this mini-archive is to provide, arguably, a sample of some of the best game music ever scored. This is also selection of what I like and/or grew up with, and what I consider to be the best of what i have been exposed to as a life long video gamer. This game music archive by no means all inclusive, nor definative, and I welcome feedback, suggestions, and submissions of your own, if you would like to contribute.
Many thanks to SNESMusic.org, Zophar.net, and Akumu from theshizz.org for the nsf and spc files that i encoded to mp3. Also thanks to theshizz community for the videogame soundtracks already encoded by them that i have uploaded here as well.
I came accross your site after I googled Thunderforce 4 soundtrack. Excellent work my friend. I dloaded the whole soundtrack from your site. The memories it brought back of me playing this wicked game over and over...priceless. I have this on cart for my Megadrive which still works back when I got it for xmas 1991 ish. Keep up the gr8 work!
