Silvergun-Blue Member Oct 26, 2017 10,791 We've all heard classics like Dire Dire Docks from Mario 64 and Go Straight From Streets of Rage 2. Even Pictionary and Silver Surfer from the NES. So what about stuff you feel you never see in soundtrack threads? I'll kick it off with an absolute banger from Guardian Heroes on the Sega Saturn. This game did actually see a re-release on Xbox 360 LIve Arcade thankfully so it's not stuck on Sega's ill fated machine. If you've seen it before on Era, it was probably posted by me! 😁 I could post plenty of tracks from this game tbh.

The song was so great, when the 'Rise of Iron' expansion came out, and the boss was 'revived' during the story, Bungie worked with the artist, and used their remix for the new Boss fight. It's still in D2 now, when you do the strike on Grand Master difficulty. 1:14:20 if the link doesn't already load there....

Pushed the little PC-Engine's sound chip to the absolute limit. Incredibly atmospheric as well, was a perfect fit for the game.  Last edited: Mar 29, 2025 NESpowerhouse Member Oct 25, 2017 9,616 Virginia Silvergun-Blue said: I adore the sounds you get from this hardware.

One of the best to do it on the PC-98 outside of Zun was Ryu Umemoto (RIP) and his work on games like YU-NO and Xenon View: https://youtu.be/pV1DbMjWuFE?si=gG4E1srJjuujyIlm&t=2229   PallasKitten Member Jul 11, 2022 1,661 Zephy Member Oct 27, 2017 7,026 This track will haunt me forever View: https://youtu.be/IX1_fWqdSL8?si=oygtY1N6ebnRCZSH   Rabbit Avatar Wrecking Crew Member Feb 24, 2018 416 Not the most obscure I think, but I'll find any reason to post anything from this game.

No, not that one. And not the special one from the early Gameboy versions that Nintendo Music exposed you to recently, either. The Commodore 64 Tetris theme, by Wally Beben. View: https://youtu.be/Ny743c32gPg?si=yjtRQXyViTOiroLc That's a 25 minute upload of the C64 Tetris theme. It is not an extended version. It really is 25 minutes long before it loops in the game, too. And it is awesome.  Dunfish Banned Oct 29, 2017 1,488 BakedTanooki Member Oct 27, 2017 3,088 Germany CielTynave Member Oct 25, 2017 2,478 blueredandgold Member Oct 25, 2017 8,291 I wanna hear OSTs that hit you quick in the feels FIND WHO HASN'T HEARD THIS https://youtu.be/3sMbEW2XTZo?si=gNKUDC4H2ouYcCUf SING TO THEM WATCH THEM WEEP WATCH THEM UNDERSTAND HUG THEM AND DON'T LET GO DESTROY THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT www.resetera.com View: https://youtu.be/3sMbEW2XTZo?si=gNKUDC4H2ouYcCUf   Mr Delabee Member Oct 25, 2017 1,168 UK Great game, amazing soundtrack all round.

View: https://youtu.be/TsP5nnBhtJI   A_Dang Member Oct 27, 2017 265 Western New York Whenever I see a thread like this I either think to post, or maybe even have posted about this one musicians work on game soundtracks. Now...here is the huge qualifier: the creator of the games featuring these soundtracks can kick rocks. Dude needs no mention. With that said, the musician was a hugely influential artist for me growing up, and hearing them on a game soundtrack was magical, and their work across the games their music is featured in is deeply engraved in my mind. I've spent significantly more time on these soundtracks than any others, and I've listened to them way more than I played the games. Okay, now on to the music: I don't think nearly anyone here will know this song, or many of the other deep cuts from the compiled Imaginarium, but this is just an example.
