Videogame Nostalgia: Musical Edition

[Shinji Ikari]

Nothing takes you back to a game you love like hearing the soundtrack huh?

A few weeks ago I was driving home and listening to classic FM as I often do when Aerith's Theme from Final Fantasy VII (my favourite game of all time) came on the radio. Apparently they do a weekly videogame segment.

Anyway it gave me the idea for this thread. Post your favourite videogame music, either as it was in the original game or in concert.

To start us off here's Aerith's Theme from Final Fantasy VII as performed by the London Philharmonic in 2019. This isn't my footage but I was lucky enough to attend the performance it was captured from.

I'm guessing that's Donkey Kong from the thumbnail.

I played the original on NES and one of the Game Boy spinoffs which I LOVED but I still haven't gotten around to the SNES games.

I've posted this and other stuff in my vg nostalgia thread.

I'll have to look back and find some. But this is one of my favorites for sure.

Worms 3D that game was HARD but I spent many many hours playing Worms 2 on PC and Worms: Armageddon on Playstation.

I remember the sound effects for the weapons and the silly voices of the worms (stiff upper lip, anyone?) better than the music.

Such an ominous sounding piece of music. The events it foreshadowed would rock a generation of nerds

I had it spoiled for me by my friend who let me borrow the game. He was like did you get to the part where ________ yet? lol.

I came downstairs this morning and this was playing on the smart speaker. I asked my mum why she was listening to music from Skyrim and she just said she'd asked for some medieval music and this what it gave her
