I'm sure this has probably been done before but I was clicking through some classic video game soundtracks this afternoon whilst I ment to be writing my essay (oops) and it made me think, what music from video games do you like? Which individual piece of music from a game did you love to hear? Sometimes the music on a certain level was my inspiration to keep playing, just so I could hear the sweet sweet soundtrack as you played.

This SCREAMS 8-Bit at me, like no other piece of video game music has. Just to confirm I never played Duck's Tale as a kid but I can imagine this grabbing your tiny little heart as a youngster and never letting go. Hey, it's one my favourite pieces of music from a game and I never even played the game. Speaks volumes.

Okay, just because this is in my top 3 favourite pieces of video game music EVER dosen't mean I liked the game. Infact it sucked, I gave up after 8 hours of running down corridors. But when I first loaded up the game, and when this music hit, it quite literally melted my heart and I ended up listening to it for 10 minutes straight. Simply beautiful.

Now, I was 5 when I first heard this, back when I was a true Sonic mark. And oh my fucking god, this blew my mind. It sent my heart racing, my hands were shaking. I knew this was it, do or die time. And the combination of the final boss battle and this music all added up to what was an incredible conclusion to one of my all time favourite games. It's a piece of music that reminds me how fucking brilliant the 90's were for video gaming.
