A place for your favorite video game songs, OSTs, and remixes for games of all eras. Also, deep dives into their creation and composition.

Would appreciate composer names in either the title or the post, for recognition of their hard work.

Looking for a name, a game, or an album? Check out the Video Game Music Database over at VGMDb, or the Video Game Music Preservation Foundation at VGMPF.com!

Back when EA made game people actually thought were decent.

EA was huge even then! that EA loading screen with the color cycling is burned into my memory.

Hubbard reused this a couple years later for Skate or Die 2 on the NES. Kicking myself for not thinking to post it earlier. Such amazing music.

I hadn’t heard that, but just listened to it! The vocals are hilarious.

Great composition and technically excellent for the C64. I don’t remember many samples in C64 music. But that keyboard could do with being dialled back a little. it’s fairly intense.

i think they're trying to emphasize the "OR DIE" part.
