Favorite PC Game Soundtracks of All Time

[Gusington]

Looks like this thread was needed more than we thought.

Actually listening to this right now.

Civ IV

[Father Ted]

Okay, so some things I DIDN'T turn off:

Elite II  (not really a soundtrack to be fair, just a lot of rocking classical music)
Sim City 2000 - just loved that noodly little synthy lift music
Medieval Total War - had appropriate monkish singing interspersed with bird song
Rome Total War - similarly evocative of the period somehow. But thinking about it, what was Roman music?

Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3...

...and of course:

Either the original Shogun Total War or the original Medieval Total War soundtrack are my favorite of all time.

Can't go wrong with Crazybus.

Darkest Dungeon has my favorite moody, atmospheric hub theme:

Oh, and of course, can't have one of these threads without the Diablo 1 Tristram theme:

^Ah Diablo...yes!

Frontier-Elite II Intro sound was great.
MOO2 music was/is about the only one I don't turn off while playing. Provides ambience.
CMSF/SF2 isn't too bad.

I usually turn the sound off and listen to my own music, but No One Lives Forever is an exception:

I SHALL WRITE A TOME!!!  :D :bd:

Not only do I rip game music and listen to it while driving (and occasionally at the computer working, including at actual work), and spend hours editing other people's game rips, I even have outright SPENT REAL MONEY buying game soundtracks. I own physical copies of all the Final Fantasy games up through FF9, for example, on disc. I set the Beatitudes and some other Gospel sermon material to the main Final Fantasy theme as found in FF8. And performed it at church one Sunday. I set the lyrics to a couple of verses of "Once to Every Man and Nation" to the menu theme song of Shadow of the Horned Rat! -- and performed that at church!

The trick is to right-click on the middle of the video while it's playing (or paused), choose "copy video url", and then in the composition window left-click the youtube button (or type the code tags manually) pasting in the middle of the tags.

Some of my favorite music is from games. Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind all come to mind. I was working today while listening to the original Shogun too.

25 yrs later, this is stuck in my mind.
