music What is your favorite 8-16 bit music/tracks. And what game is it from?

[Techite Sparkle 354]

What it your favorite 8 or 16 bit soundtrack?

Well I have played all the classics

Mario,Zelda,Mega man, ect.

About a year ago... (Nvm 3-4 years xD) I completely 100% Finished the Final Fantasy III DS remake. And the Crystal Tower theme still deemed to be my favorite.

At the time I didn't know the game was based off a NES remake. So I played through (the english translated) and I got to the NES crystal tower. For a NES I still think it is the most peaceful and meaningful NES theme to this day.

 

So. What's yours?

 

^-^

 

Edit: I guess I should add a reference... xD...

I dunno. I found the final boss music from both Double Dragon II & III, the title screen music from Friday the 13th, and the ending theme from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest to be pretty rad. And speaking of Final Fantasy, I also loved the remastered track of I & II on the GBA. Original NES theme for the overworld in II was awesome as well.

The mega man games had some kick-ass music.

 

Especially Mega man 2.

 

It's between this.

 

and

 

this

[Avatar tag: shipping 299]

I have two:

 

The first is the Jungle Infiltration Theme from Snake's Revenge. You know, the MGS game that no one talks about? All if the music in that game is great but this one in particular is really awesome. It starts at 01:09 in the video:

 

 

The other one is the Stage 1 Theme from Rush'n Attack. It's really simple but catchy.

 

[Celtore 2,769]

 

Ninja Gaiden (NES) act 4-2. It's just too bad the stage is so short!

 

 

 

Wow. My brain really wasn't functioning right. Just how the heck did I forget about the moon theme from Ducktales? It's one of my all time favourites, even when compared to some more modern tracks

@Celtore

 

I ALWAYS played that at my cousins house xP

[DaReaper 1,943]

Still get the original zelda game music stuck in my head quite often

[Techite Sparkle 354]

@DaReaper

 

Same considering I have played completely through it over 20 times probably. I liked the labyrinth music alot. Even though its a crapload of loopage.

Yeah, gotta go with that one, the overworld theme is just legendary.

[Java Jive 440]

Honestly, there's too many to list here. But these are a number of my favorites.

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

Duh... the game that wins the best music of course is Ducktales "The Moon Theme"

  Edited December 13, 2013 by Rainbow Dashey

[Treble Bolt 1,122]

Oh man, there are so many I like. From Duck Tales' Moon theme to Battletoads' pause music. Other than the really crappy Movie-Game adaptations, I like almost all NES songs.  A game just isn't a game without some music

[Blast Box 22]

Mega Man 2 was an all time favorite soundtrack for the NES. Just about every track was epically composed and always worked with the pace of the level.

[Techite Sparkle 354]

@Blast Box

Nice oc. XD. Anyway. I tended to like Mega Man 3 slightly more. I felt that some of the themes had more of an "Edge" so to say xD

[Commander Tangent 861]

This

 

The heme from the second Metal Gear game, was a damn fun experience. 

[Hakureimiko 96]

Here is Streets of Desolation from Batman on the NES.

[Guest]

Does SNES count? Because Ninja Warriors had a pretty sick soundtrack.

Edited December 16, 2013 by Guest

[Misty Shadow 7,065]

Thanks guys for reminding me of Ninja Gaiden and Metal Gear. These songs play in my head all the time.

 

 

 

Silver Surfer is another one I just remembered. Say what you will about the game itself (I actually like it a lot), but you can't deny that the soundtrack owned.

 

[Thrashy 2,798]

Honorable mention goes out to Mega Man…the ENTIRE series, both the original 6 games and the retroactive 9 and 10. There are so many phenomenal tracks to choose from, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

 

Anyway, I've been growing more and more enamored with the Dragon Warrior soundtracks. A mere handful of my favorite tracks:

 

 

 

 

[Confetti Nova 58]

The Moon Theme from the NES Ducktales theme.

 

 

It makes me feel like I'm having a real space adventure every time I hear it. Definitely one of a kind.

[Hakureimiko 96]

Here are some more tunes.

The palace theme from Zelda 2

 

The first level from Contra

 

Area 01 Gates Of Fort Firestorm from Super C

 

Stage 01 Beginning from Castlevania III - Dracula's Curse

[~Silver Essence~ 2,621]

I love classic 8 bit tunes, they are my personal favorite songs in gaming.

 

A personal favorite mines has to be most of the soundtrack from the silver surfer, sure it's tough as hell, but the soundtrack is pumping and exciting!

I used to rock out to this song when I was a kid, one of my favorite Batman movies as a video game.

[lomk 20,663]

The Moon Theme from the NES Ducktales theme.

Dammit! I was gonna post The Moon Theme from DuckTales and the Palace Theme from Zelda II but you guys already beat me to the punch! Anyway, those were the songs I was gonna post! Two extremely awesome classic 8 bit tunes right here!

 

Hey @@Techite Sparkle, how about including original Game Boy/Game Boy Color music here? Game Boy and Game Boy Color music is definitely 8 bit and there are plenty of tunes on those two systems that are a force to be reckoned with!
