    Cheers CreeD, and all the rest of you, for the help - Sonic Mayhem didn't do the music for Quake II I dont think - Im sure it was White Zombie... The Warehouse Tune from Quake II is amazing - Download Quake II - Track 9.mp3...

    Amazing...

    im 100% asolutely sure that sonic mayhem did the q2 soundtrack (on the ps anyway) and they did q3 aswell, but that was utter sh|te (music not game wink.gif)

    the rare bits of half life music were'nt bad actually, cept for the bit near the start, it was soo out of place it was funny...

    If you still have the Half-Life CD you can listen to the tracks...

    Some of the Half-Life music was good alright, but there was so little music that you would barely notice it half the time frown.gif

    I thought the very first song in the Half-Life game was perfect for that big long train journey. Gave me a real feeling of being in a HUGE place (Black Mesa) and letting you know "there might just be something strange going on here..."

    RopeDrink, did you get most of your stuff from Napster ?.

    I would definatley recommend the Guilty Gear/Guilty Gear X soundtrack, its excellent, especially "Be just or be dead".
    But oh, no tears please, fear and pain may acompany death, but it is desire that sheperds its certainty, as we shall see...

    You got it right there - Would spend yonks waiting for 5-10 minute long Game music to load from napster, only for 25% of the muppets cancelling the download half-way through...

    Oh well, thanks for the suggestions!

    Well off the top of my head

    Of the older games Warcraft 2 and C&C95 are the best, Of course who could forget "hellmarch" from RA , also if i remember Dark reign 1 had some brilliant scores , err....Mechwarrior 2 . More recent times of course they have an excuse for bad music in games , its "Atmospheric" ...more like a big pile of pants . but of course a few gems shine through ,the music for Metal Gear solid was amazing , and absolutely Perfect for the game . Dark Reign 2 *much ignored good game * had a few good uns as did Deus Ex *the first one especially* Unreal was Ok but UT had this one track that went perfectly with a blazing chaingun biggrin.gif , and of course There was that one track from Mechwarrior 3 , and Hidden and Dangerous and those little loading screen scores from Rogue spear , hell i could go on but I ....wont ..
    Shrewgar!

    There was indeed...

    Platformer involving a half-naked, blue haired hero who would travel through different points in time battling out in scenario's that involved "MYTH"'s, for example it started off in Hell itself, and you riot through levels, one involving all of Greece's mythological (Is that a word?) beasts, along with various other locations...

    Was brilliant!

    Lemmings of course! Brilliant music that you kept humming 3 hours after you finished playing the game!

    Rofl - Lemmings - One of the Amiga's finest fames...

    There were so many versions, it was unreal - And the Christmas One really took the biscuit with it's funny levels and cheap Xmas music - Class...

    I tell you, Alien Breed 2's Intro screen music really kicked quite a bunch of buttock...

    I NEED a way to get that tune, and the Cannon fodder ones, yet I dont seem to have time to scout the Internet for them frown.gif

    If anyone happens to have the tunes, please please (and please again) let me know...

    Speaking of C64 music, does anyone remember that extremely cool loading screen music for Renegade and some other games?</font>

    That would have been the Ocean Loader song written by a chap called Martin Galway who was one of the best C64 musicans ever.

    I used to have loads of links of Amiga and C64 music somewhere, both in their original formats/modules and some in mp3, and loads of sites with software to convert between boat. Winamp is good with the plugins. There is also deliplayer (any1 who had an amiga will remeber that 1) for the PC now and it will play almost any piece of music ever writen. I haven't tried it out yet but the amiga version was the biz. U can check it out at http://www.deliplayer.com

    Lovely stuff - cheers for that...

    Checking the Link out, now biggrin.gif

    Out of curiosity - Anyone still have their amiga?

    I still have my NES, C64, Spectrum 64k and 128k, Amiga 500, PSX and (obviously) my PC...

    Ahhhh the Amiga 500 smile.gif

    When it comes to game music, none was quite so mind-numbingly twee, nauseating, yet still addictive as JAMES POND: ROBOCOD.

    I'll tell you something - Superfrog, the Egyption stage had an amazing tune...

    It always managed to make some mad tunes...

    Im STILL trying to nab the Superfrog tune, Alien Breed II Intro tune, Pinball Fandasies and Pinball Dreams music and a range of others, but I cant seem to find any good emulation proggies that work...

    I tried the one provided above, but the Computer links (Amiga, C64, Spectrum etc) didn't work, only the console ones (NES, SNES, Saturn etc) so that was a big bummer...

    If you have any links to good music offering emulators etc - PLEASE drop them here biggrin.gif

    Just clearing up the Quake soundtracks thing: a group called Methods of Destruction did all of the Quake 2 soundtrack except for Track 11 (iirc) which was done by Rob Zombie. The same group, renamed as Sonic Mayhem, did the bizarre backing "mood" noise for Quake III Arena.
