It's Critter Time!

In terms of underrated, not very well known LEGITIMATE BANGERS in the video game soundtrack sphere, the first mission music from the mid-90s PC shooter Crusader: No Remorse is just straight up fire.

The two Crusader games have banger soundtracks.

Here's one that's cheating a little bit, but! The original System Shock had a very eclectic soundtrack, between its General MIDI abstractness and weird, techno electronica bops, it creates a pretty unique soundscape.

Anyway, sometime in the late 90s, early 2000s I came across a remix where someone essentially overlaid the songs one over another with the game's clips and sound effects and it's dope.

kind of stunned at the new deltarune chapters on several levels but just in general how clearly toby fox grew, and matured as a composer since making undertale. this song in particular was just just so cool to me. the odd meter stuff is used really effectively.

Going thru the new Ninja Gaiden OST and I've yet to hear a single track thats a dud. Its wild

Yesss, I love weird time signatures!

The arcade OSTs for the first two Bloody Roar games are deeply underrated, i think. Very shmup styled songs for a fighter and im really into it.

Suddenly remembered this track that plays during the Streets map in TimeSplitters 2. God, I love 2000s trance.

I apologise in advance for the double post, but this deserves to be cross-posted from the Pac-Man thread:

Been really enjoying the new OFF soundtrack. Its a kinda different vibe from the original OST but I think its a good one. It has the sauce in my book

This post comes sponsored by my internal head radio, which treats the first hub music for Kyrandia 3 as a generic idle music anytime I'm just going about my day and no other song is playing in my head. The way it builds and grows makes it go way harder than random piece of click n point adventure music by any means should.

It's me, the touhou nerd.

On the topic of touhou, I feel obligated to bring up Len'en, because who else here would?



This is one of my favorite songs period, let alone just from video games, and it comes from what can best be described as a touhou knockoff (affectionate).

Yeah Len'en would be another one I'd have pick but also I could be here all day if I did more than one ehe

Though my personal favourite is Present World Overhaul :3c

Been into major y2k gaming vibes lately and this track is great. Takes a bit for the bit to drop, but once it does

i have been playing a lot of the new sonic kart and every time i am offered Wonder Museum i have to pick it
