A Few Of The Best And Unforgettable Video Game Songs

Video games without their title music are just like cereals without whole milk, a television with no remote, a fancy car with no radio (I will stop now). The idea is, music in video games might not be the tail which wags the dog, but they are arguably as esential. They set the tone for the game play, get us straight into the action, and as the list below highlights, they are ultimately among the primary things we remember about our particular video game experiences.

 

These are the top, most memorable tracks as well as scores from my personal favorite video game titles. Prepare yourselves, we are going to get nostalgic.

 

Tetris

 

This was during the golden age of handhelds and in which a color Game Boy wasthe result of a paint accident, not a response to the GameGear. Just listening to this track gives me the chills. One, as it is so specific and recognizable. Two, I always used to have fun with Tetris before going the dentist, which gave me chills for a whole, another reason.

 

Super Mario Brothers

 

This is another music which will teleport you back to your younger years. The moment this track came on, it was as if I was back in my old basement, with nothing but a small NES controller as well as a box of dunkaroos. They just don’t make them like they used to (video games that is, dunkaroos I do think continue to be around). This song has been remixed a lot more times than Cher, yet remain true to the original, and you would remember why this theme song is one of the all-time greats.

 

Sonic The Hedgehog

 

I played this one almost entirely on the GameGear. Sure it was somewhat heavy, but the way that music pumped through those speakers like lightning through a bottle made me feel like I actually owned the whole world in my hands. This game single-handedly got me through summer vacations to Hilton Head and back (it really is not easy traveling in a car full of sisters). Remember going up against Dr.Robotnik? Play the above game title and it will be impossible to forget.

 

Gran Turismo

 

Here is the video game which broke in my Playstation. The gameplay was basically stunning, and up to this very day helps it be one of, if not the, greatest driving game titles ever created. That being said, I am uncertain if I have ever seen this intro video all the way through and as cinematic and glorious as it would be, I normally merely skipped my way to the game itself. Try it out above, and make you own an old copy of the game handy because you are going to instantly want to play it.

 

Metal Gear Solid

 

Most likely my personal favorite video game of all time, this video game had everything: storyline, characters, impressive game play (although I hated going all the way back to the armory in order to get the PSG-1 and ultimately knowing what Diazepam was for).

 

While this might be a bit of a stretch as a song, just listening to this alert sends shivers down my spine. For anybody who remember the game, it was used once you had been spotted and were on the enemy’s radar, though I do not quite remember it lasting this long (unless you were dead). Nevertheless, it really is among the most renowned scores in video game titles, and was a standard of one of gaming’s most successful franchises.

 

Star Fox

 

Possibly one of the most well-known game title songs of all-time. Combine this track  with awesome game play which was ahead of its time and you've got among the best tandems to ever hit the SNES. It is actually sort of a puzzle that no flying video game up to this very day was able to counter just what Star Fox created (yes, I'm looking at you Ace Combat/Top Gun). I previously viewed this on the 64 and then it was out of my life permanently yet Corneria still lives on.

 

Tony Hawk Pro Skater

 

You would like to discuss having mileage out of a video game title and I devoted an entire summer sucking every single point out of THPS and after that going back and doing it all over again. It was among the first video games I recall playing that had tracks you would in fact hear on the radio.

 

The first version included musicians like Dead Kennedys and Goldfinger. By the time the game hit number 4, it had the likes of AC/DC, System Of A Down, and Run DMC on the playlist.

 

Today, it is common to have popular artists play an important role in the creation of a video game soundtrack, yet Tony Hawk was one of the first that put seemingly as much attention into its soundtrack as it did the video game itself.

 

Halo

 

The game that took over college campuses as well as reinvented what the word multiplayer meant (8-on-8, are you kidding me?). It also made capture the flag, that which was the most common outdoor activity among kids, almost exclusively an indoor game.

 

The music is very good it actually sounds like something from a film. Halo basically was its very own film when you look back and think about it, so that makes sense.

 

Mortal Kombat

 

This track used to wake me up for school on Mondays. That is how impressive Techno Syndrome was. Not surprisingly, the Jace Hall music video takes it one step further, setting up the future of Mortal Kombat and taking video game music videos to another aspect.

 

But that's the good thing about the song, it is spun completely new edition after new edition. The aforementioned is my favorite remix and well, until the newest one releases tomorrow.

 

On a last word, I know that this list is missing probably 500 other song titles which could easily have made the list. Therefore, I suggest to you to add yours below and holler profanities at me on how I could possibly leave it out.

 

In order to cover my bases, as well as to present a very great video which some of you might not have seen, I suggest to you to have a look at this video below.

 

The Jace Hall Show is an online reality show that covers video game news and personalities as well as interviews with film/tv/sports celebrities. It also has articles that features video game songs and top songs in video games.
