CS.... the music that they play on the map cs_italy at the terrorist spawn. :D





sorry I just had to put that. I actual think the best part of that music is when you blow the freaking radio up.

I like the music in Chronotrigger personally..never played it on SNES but I'm playing it with an emulator now.

<< My current favorite has to be 5.1 channel DTS SSX Tricky >>

Maybe if Biff Naked had a song instead of just voice work :)

I'd say: Planescape Torment -- some haunting orchestral bits, such as in the fortress of regret.

Frequency for the PS2 had the best, IMO. With names like Oakenfold, DJ Q-Bert, Crystal Method, Freezepop.. it rocked!

I also liked THPS3's soundtrack. Very well done,

If you want to take age into consideration, Star Control 2 had some cool beats. :p
Ridge Racer 4 has some nice relaxing (driving?) tunes.



<< MechWarrior II >>


And the orchestration and synthesis for this series was something pretty new to the computer game scene, so props to that.

<< M.U.L.E.

Honorable mention to anything by Bjorn Lynne.

M.U.L.E! One of my favourite games when I was younger, someone here mentioned it a few weeks ago and I got the music stuck in my head. I am also partial to Riven, Carmageddon, and Wipeout XL.
