I'm going to have to vote Billy Hatcher and Blaster Master. I'm not sure if Blaster Master is underrated, but it's not pimped out here all that often. I just played Billy Hatcher the other day and was reminded of all th things I liked about it.

Breath of Fire 3

 

[Amir0x]

Earthbound. Us Earthbound fans are committed, but there's not nearly enough of us.

'sup unquestionably correct answer.

 

[SolidSnakex]

 

[JackFrost2012]

I agree, you Earthbound fans should be committed.

 

[Amir0x]

I agree, you Earthbound fans should be committed.

Even though I shouldn't, I forgive you!

 

[BorkBork]

Sweet, I came into this thread thinking of Earthbound, didn't expect so many to already include it on their list! One of the most memorable soundtracks I can think of.

Where is Mother 3, Nintendo?! Hell, I'd settle for Mother 1+2 GBA over here, but I know that's not happening..

 

[Reilly]

Final Fantasy Tactics was good too.

 

[Sinatar]

Terrible game, absolutely phenomenal soundtrack.

 

[sammy]

-Kirby: Amazing Mirror

-Bad Mojo

-BioForge

-Mario & Luigi

-Metroid Fusion

-Ecco The Dolphin: Defender of the future

-Zelda: Minish Cap


And yea.. Conker: Live and Reloaded, has really blown me away with its music --- absolutely outstanding.

 

[ourumov]

What else has he done? I like the music he's been making for beatmania IIDX recently.

Contra Shattered Soldier (with Yamaoka)
Suikoden (with Yamaoka)
Gungage (with Yamane)
Elder Gate
Rumble Roses

etc.

Most Konami games...

 

[VariableTerry]

Guilty Gear X2 and the Korean #Reload

Donkey Kong for the Game Boy had a few interesting tracks.

 

[Rlan]

I'm gonna go WAAAAY back and suggest:

The game pretty much only had 2 songs in it, but damn, the music IMO was some of the best pushed out by the Game boy at the time.

http://users.tpg.com.au/rlan/bombjack1.mp3

That's the clip for the music that plays during the game.

http://users.tpg.com.au/rlan/beginning.mp3

That's the song from the beginning.

Love it. Wish there was a remix of it

 

[Jive Turkey]

Hehe! It says "BJ" on his chest! Tee hee! /immachoor

I think I liked the music for Mighty Bomb Jack (NES) better...

 

[OmniGamer]

I thought the first Kirby on the Gameboy had pretty good music.

 

[TheTurtleTitan]

Donkey Kong Country 2.

Enchanted Woods and Bramble Music > *

 

[Error]

Valkyrie Profile(yes it's sometime repetitive, but the soundtrack is amazing)
Wild Arms(don't really know if it's underrated)
Earthbound(although it has been mentioned already soundtrack is so good that it deserves to be mentioned a lot)

 

[ram]

BURN:CYCLE (cdi/pc)

just awesome music and i am glad, that i bought the special edition for pc back then, because there is a extra ost in this package.

 

[Mejilan]

Lufia Legends GBC.

 

[Bluemercury]

Blade Runner game, by the way does anyone here have the extreme CD soundtrack, there are 10 original copies and its great, but i only hear it by playing the game. i think they called it the Westwood Edition or something, i would surely like to get it even in mp3 format but i cant find it.

 

[jcjimher]

Ristar for the Genesis

 

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

A lot of N64 games had underrated soundtracks simply because most were in MIDI format, and not "fully orchestrated" and such. I don't think it's necessary to have extremely high "quality" music for it to be good. GoldenEye, Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark (actually the quality was even pretty good on this one), etc. all had kick ass soundtracks and weren't "CD-quality".

 

[AtomicShroom]

Donkey Kong Country 2.

Enchanted Woods and Bramble Music > *

Amen.

 

[Nostrildamus]

I need to add Giga Wing 2 is really, really good too

Giga Wing 2 has an awesome soundtrack!

Also:

Elemental Gimmick Gear
Torneko: The Last Hope
Saga Frontier

 

[SantaC]

I agree with Earthbound also. And don't forget Contra Alien Wars.

 

[G-Fex]

Guilty Gear X2, Castlevania: Harmony of dissonance, Solstice

 

[Kicko]

LITTLE NEMO: THE DREAM MASTER

Mutha lovas!

 

[FightyF]

Oh.. And the original Sonic series are a bit underrated too. I know we all love them, but Sega ignores them. We got a Rockman 1~6 OST (still no 7 & 8 though), X1~6, etc. but Sega has yet to put out a damn soundtrack with Sonic 1-3, both 3D Blasts, etc (at LEAST the original games though).

/rant

That's true! But not suprising. I think it's pretty much common knowledge that SEGA doesn't want to make any money.

 

[LoGradeChili]

Mechwarrior 3.

 

[Ruas]

just thought of another, Nights.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness (by Aubrey Hodges)
A wonderful soundtrack... and it still amazes me to this day how well the songs fit their atmospheres.

Soul Blazer (SNES)- I hear a lot of Yuzo Koshiro ACTRAISER praise, but not nearly as much SoulBlazer OST praise. I can still hum the 'dream' music, 'town' theme, and weird toy factory song.

Donkey Kong for the Game Boy had a few interesting tracks.

For the love of God, post that whole music rip in a .zip or .rar file on YouSendIt.

I freaking love the music from that game. One of the best last boss themes ever. And I love you for mentioning it.

 

[lordmrw]

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter

freaken awesome soundtrack!

don't take this the wrong way, but because of your username i don't know if you're being serious.

Just Trust ME on this one.

Oh yeah. The soundtrack kicked all kinds of ass in the game. The opening them is simply amazing. I'd love to find an mp3 or midi of it.

 

[BobTheFork]

When games were climbing up Mt. Speed techno, one game made a complete 180, with a badass earthy/folk sound trak. The NEVERHOOD

 

[The Faceless Master]

Turok 2

Wizards & Warriors

and to the person who posted the PSO Ep1&2 OST... this is a thread for UNDERrated OST's...

 

[Speevy]

Animal Crossing and Little Nemo: The Dream Master.

 

[Brandon F]

[Jasoco]

Too many.

Kirby games have great soundtracks.

The old DOOM games have kick-ass music I can listen to for hours.

Serious Sam seriously needs a CD soundtrack.

[turok4n64]

don't take this the wrong way, but because of your username i don't know if you're being serious.

im being dead serious. The theme song, level 3, level 4, boss music, last boss stage music, and the underwater theme are all perfect.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Where is the love? Best soundtrack ever!
