Fave Famicom Soundtracks
Wow, I haven't written in a looooooooooooongggggggg time.
My name is Al. I am a workaholic.
Anyways, here are my Top 10 Fave Famicom Soundtracks:
(10) SQOON - There's something enchanting about the song. It fits the dreamlike backdrop of the game.
(9) TRANSFORMERS - It may seem repetitive as the game is one of the more difficult ones of that era (so you hear the song over and over and over again when stuck at a particular point), but the songs seem adventurous and inspiring. Especially when you hear that trademark Transformers logo-changing hymn at the beginning of the game.
(8) SUPER MARIO BROS. 3 - The songs of each world complements their respective themes.
(7) JUMPING JACK 3d - Running involuntarily across chessboard plains and listening to that music, I always felt pressured to finish each stage (I never did finish the game, tho).
(6) CASTLEVANIA - Ahhhhhhhh. I like EVERY song in Castlevania. And a couple in Simon's Quest. Fave's: Wicked Child (Stage 3), Vampire Killer (Stage 1) and Bloody Tears (my ringtone for a year now) and Silence of Daylight from Castlevania 2.
(5) TWIN BEE - If you don't get the powered bells and listen to the song 'till the very end, you'll realize that it's perfect for long leisurely drives!
(4) GRADIUS - Everytime I played this game, I really felt as if I was flying VIC VIPER across space! I like how the song starts out slow and then suddenly speeds up when you enter the caverns.
(3) RYGAR (called LET'S FIGHT by BROCHIERE) - The first song you hear, sounds as if the hero has just started this journey. Additionally, you have a beautiful picture of a rising sun. I also like the forest theme and the desert (top view) theme.
(2) MEGAMAN/ROCKMAN - Any volume! Megaman music is very addictive! Even 'till today, me and my buddy hum Megaman tunes (blending hehe). The songs also almost always fit the stages. Bubbleman's theme is very relaxing, Flashman's theme, distracting, Airman's theme, grating, and Woodman's theme, overbearing! My fave? Magnetman's theme, preceded by Protoman's brief whistle.
(1) KONAMI WORLD (WAI WAI WORLD) - A mix of the best themes Konami has to offer. King Kong's city theme, Goemon's chinese theme, Konami Man's heroic theme, Simon's famous theme, Moai's funny theme, Fuuma's (from Moonwind) travelling theme... all in one game! The villain themes are kewl as well.
Honorable Mention:
Not a famicom game, but SUPER MARIO RPG: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN STARS (Super NES) has GREAT MUSIC all around!
A lot of these songs can be downloaded at www.vgmusic.com.
What's your TOP TEN? :)
