It’s amazing what you can dig up.
There’s an album called The Very Best of Sega, with tracks from Sonic, Panzer Dragoon, Streets of Rage and more. There’s also another album, three volumes worth, called Famicon 20th Anniversary Original Sound Tracks. And there’s the very last, great Mario & Zelda Big Band Live (thanks Marill for getting me the DVD, heh).
What am I naming all these albums for? I can’t play the games short of downloading an emulator and ROMs (not that that’s a problem for me), but there are times I just want to listen to the music of a particular old game and do some other work. Ahh, living the world of games through music.

hmm hope anyone can find the ending theme for Golden Axe 3…good music on a cart. :P
i totally agree.. good music makes a good game even better
nintendo fans like myself went mad after hearing the 4th gen iterations of classic tunes on that classic we call SSBM. how about the great fight tunes when dueling in GGXX.
all firmly etched in our ears…. heightens those great gaming moments…. i dun think aerith’s curtain call would have been that as effective without that piece.

I sold off my Mario Sunshine and swore never ever to play that game again after I completed the game, because of the insane patience it teaches you. I never ever wanted to play through that game ever again.
…. or so I thought.
After watching the Mario & Zelda Big Band Live DVD, when they played the Marion Sunshine tunes…. slowly, but surely, my craving to play Mario Sunshine grew again…. until one day I just said what the heck, I bought the game again off the shelves!!!
How’s that for the demonstration of the power of muisc in games?
And I’m having fun with the game again.
Well I have to say I live life by sometimes putting songs in my head from Anime. I just love anime music. Especially since I got my full metal alchemist soundtrack last week. Ah, I’ve beeen listening to it ever since
