The loading music for Supercars 2 on the Amiga always takes me right back to my teens.

Aside from that, almost every piece of Final Fantasy music from 2 (US snes) to 8 gets me.

[Cauterize]

Another one from me! Nothing gets me more pumped up for a shmup than the Soldier Blade soundtrack

[maD_mAN1983]

brings me back to the days when i had my Amiga500, around 93-94 i think, i sometimes used to load the game just to listen to the music

Got a few, the Starlight Zone music from Sonic - my all time favourite Sonic tune. Also anything from the Streets Of Rage games, they didnt really make bad tracks for them. The first level from Turtles - Hyperstone Heist on the MD always gets me a little giddy.

Anything from the Shenmue soundtrack really.

[Grizzly]

already some sonic love but what would you expect coming from me? here are some of my favourites!


This tune is deceptively brilliant, it actually has an air of melancholy to it and keeps on driving through its melody. brilliant stuff.



By far the best Calm before the storm retro game track. just serene in every way.

and one of the Earthworm Jim greats


cheerful and also has a great melody! Tallarico is one of the greatest game music composers ever.

[Arcturius]

Amstrad: Rampage


Arcade: Trojan (listen about 2:17 in)


Still love the Amstrad's one though.

If anyone argues that the Megadrive can't do decent music, I always point them to TF4. Was always terrible at this game when I was little, but stuck with it mainly because of the music. This generally being the first level people start with, it is a terribly nostalgic song for me.



Played this game loads on around the Christmas Shenmue came out and obviously this song brings back a lot of memories from around that time.



Sonic is an obvious one for me as it was the first thing to really get me into gaming. Like TF4 I could quite happily play all the music from the first four games on repeat. Copying Grizz here to a degree because it's a Sonic 3 multiplayer level, but the music from those levels tend to get horribly overlooked.



First game I borrowed from a friend. Still amazed at how good this sounds considering its age/hardware limitations.

This for me is full of nostalgia.

I picked up a 360 Mag purely for a demo the other day and it had DoomII on it which I thought was a bonus.

For some reason on the 360 it sets my travel sickness off in under 5 mins. It was nostalgic for about 2 mins and nausea until I went to bed
