What are your favorite game tunes, or memorable tunes?
I think "Splash Wave" and "Magical Sound Shower" must be the most memorable arcade tunes for me (not a big fan of "Passing Breeze").
However I can still remember the Space Harrier tune (since it was the only arcade game in my town when I was a kid... the money I've spend on that machine ...)

Mario Bros(arcade) and Popeye.

The funniest and most memorable to me is still Pooyan, the digital howling Wolf, its timeless.

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor from Gyruss.

The theme from Moon Patrol.

Bubble Bobble - It was annoying music but it sure was memorable.

Ken Layton · « **Reply #13 on:** August 04, 2004, 05:59:30 pm »

Mappy and Strider.

Gyruss!

Even though it isn't an original score, its just so cool and fitting for the game.

I'll second Moon Patrol as most catchy original score. Its subtle enough not to annoy, and has a cool bridge that brings it back to the start.
Neo Mr. Do (Visco) has an agonizingly repetitive song that gets stuck in my head for days after I play it. I suppose that makes it good!

of course Bachs toccata in Gyruss is good. i think it didnt hurt them that around that time (maybe a tad earlier) SKY had a bit of a hit with their rendition of it. so the tune would have already been familiar to many

Zero wing!! duh, duh duh-duh. duh. danananana. dananana. danananana....

i cant believe no ones mentioned DigDug!! its exactly the same as joymonkeys rendition of wonderboy:

Nunu-nunu-nuh-nana-nunu-nunu-nunu-nuh-nana-nunu!

SaiNRuB · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2004, 11:24:17 am »

All time favorite is Mat Mania, runner up is Contra

DaveMMR · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2004, 12:39:45 pm »

2nd Level of Marble Madness
Most of the Outrun songs
After Burner (post coin insert/pre 'press start' music and first few levels)
Contra 1st Level
Bubble Bobble
Pengo (Hot Butter by Popcorn)
Gyruss
Strider

So many to list... just can't decide.

The music from Shinobi. Whenever I hear it, I can almost smell the pizza from the pizza place I used to play Shinobi at.

Grasshopper · « **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2004, 05:56:44 pm »

Definitely the original Magical Sound Shower, but I'm not so keen on the remix they did for Outrun 2.

Also Rastan's background music is very cool.
