I can't be the only one who's subscribed to this thread and pulls it up everyday while doing homework to listen to some sweet tunes.

The one I'm listening to now.

You know an obscure game's song is going to be good when its on this list.

Snake Eater is # 8? Snake Eater?!? I always muted the game when that song came on. And as good as Time's Scar is, I'd put To Zanarkand at #1.

471. Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, Side-Crawler's Dance - http://youtu.be/i2YbwIuhv0E

Well, it's on there at least!

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

How did I not notice this song before?

90% of the top 10 list should be of FFX.

no the guardian legend? the fuck is this.

I'm somewhat surprised that EXEC_CHRONICLE_KEY/ made it and EXEC_PHANTASMAGORIA/ didn't, but ah well...

560. Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Staff Credits - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lH3PRinZn4&hd=1

Christ. Forgot how good this game's music was. I mean, Zelda always has good music, but this game was just wow. Really struck a chord with me.
In fact, I'm remembering just how awesome the game was in general. Toss up between it and LttP as my favorite.

Ctrl+F Xenoblade

Hmm, too low!

Well, it's on there at least!

Dragon's Trap has such f'ing awesome music!

 

[K.Sabot]

No Lost Odyssey?

Fuck that.

 

[TigerUppercut]

Clash on Big Bridge is still number one in my heart.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Disappointed to see nothing for Wario; it's not well-known for its music, but it has some pretty nice tunes.

Nice article, and it looks like all the tracks we voted for in our top 5 made the long list.

65. Monty on the Run, Theme - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmpTIDTERoQ

1 off...

So, i've looked as far as number 50 and see no C64 music at all.

You might have bothered looking a bit further. Personally I think it was cool to see some of the best C64 music in the list at all. Turrican II, Last Ninja. Tracks I'd regard as some of the best in the world, but you can't expect many people to have heard them.

Only disappointing omission is Road Rash.

How are these, Umineko no Naku Koro ni, games? I like the music.

47 - 60 is tied in votes.
61 - 71 is tied in votes.

91 - 100 is tied in votes.
101 - 126 is tied in votes.
127 - 144 is tied in votes.

174 - 217 is tied in votes.

264 - 354 is tied in votes.
355 - 483 is tied in votes.
484 - 675 is tied in votes.
676 - 1000 is tied in votes.

So basically, a song need only 12 more votes than #1,000 to get into the top 50. Okay.

How is this thread-worthy?

Edit: Oh.

How are these, Umineko no Naku Koro ni, games? I like the music.

They're visual novels, but if you don't mind that, they're great. Very engrossing.


Also, the article has multiple versions of each song, if you like a particular variation more than another.

This missed a cut on my list, if that's any consolation.

See all the people grousing that a game's music they cherish ain't ranked? Related phenomena!

So are they like Snatcher or Phoenix Wright?

Also how do I get them in English?

Uh... more like Snatcher. Loosely.

You don't. They were fan translated. Get the originals and patch them.

See the OT for more information. It's basically a multimedia novel, where visuals and especially music enhance the writing. You can purchase DD versions of Umineko from the fan translator's website.
