Which PC game has the best background/theme music?

[Goosemaster]

I agree with the choice of Medal of Honor...was about to mention it myself.


THe music and gameplay plus the graphics were amazing..I played the entire thing in one sitting..no cheats not clues....mano a mano

Icewind Dale.

 

[GoodToGo]

bump for morning crowd

 

[Cattlegod]

Actraiser (SNES)

Since we're naming console games too - HALO is easily the best in my opinion. The different music/sounds suits the mood for every single level and situation during the level.

 

[BatmanNate]

GTA3 or Red Alert 2.

 

[yellowperil]

I liked the original Ninja Gaiden (NES). Very minimalist sounding but interesting.

 

[Beau]

Road Rash (Soundgarden, SuperUnknown)

 

[abaez]

The original quake was creepy as hell.

 

[CubicZirconia]

I also liked Dune 2.

me too.

 

[Rallispec]

zero wing


j/k. actually i'd have to go with the sound track from THPS2

 

[Daxxax]

I thought the orginal Contra had a sweet little toon.

 

[Ameesh]

Red Alert!

 

[MaxDSP]

GTA3<-----------Nuthin like listening to your choice of tunes while you go on a virtual killing spree

 

[BigJohnKC]

The best I've ever heard was in Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. But I haven't played Outcast yet, so it may be better.

Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX for PSX had some killer tunes, too, very appropriate for an extreme sport game.

My roomie actually bought soundtracks to the Final Fantasy games on PSX, so I've gotta give a mention to that music as well.

Doom, QuakeII, MechwarriorII, One Must Fall -- all good.

One not mentioned yet, some very haunting orchestral pieces (especially the "fortress of regret")
Planescape Torment

 

[AndyHui]

Definitely Mechwarrior II. I still listen to it....

 

[neomits]

Another vote for MWII

but I'd also agree with

Metal of Honor
Baldur's Gate II
Homeworld

 

[FuZoR]

MECH WARRIOR 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DukeFan21]

TETRIS! And Red Alert 2

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I would have to say MechWarrior 2. I also really liked, at the time, the music of a slightly dull outdoors Descent clone called Terminal Velocity.

 

[StageLeft]

Lucasarts Outlaws came out several years ago.

"The New Tetris" on N64 had some pretty cool techo-ish tunes. Red Alert 1 was better (in all aspects)

 

[philmacrevis]

Spy Hunter.

Deus Ex music was awesome and really helped in setting the mood.
And i think OMF 2097 had my favorite intro music ever. I just uploaded it and you can listen to it HERE. Winamp should be able to play that.
