Post video game songs that have been permanently burned into your brain

I'll start off with Raiden II's Repeated Tragedy.

A local restaurant had this game, and every time we went, I'd beg my parents for money so that I could play it. I wasn't very good at the game, so I never got past the first stage, and so I heard this song a lot. Really gives me nostalgia.

Also got to shout out Streets, from Timesplitters too. I put a lot of time into this game as a kid, and this song is what got me into futurepop (love me some VNV Nation).

  • On Christmas Day of 1999, I was gifted a copy of Homeworld. A few days later I was treated to a very groovy credits track by Yes, a band I had never heard of... but now wanted to hear more of. So I decided to give this new thing called Napster a try, and my first search was Homeworld Yes. The rest is history - in a real sense, I discovered music that day.

  • FFX Hymn of the fayth, always singing it when i get stressed

    Otherwise, the entire soundtracks of ff7,ff9,ffX, xenogears, chrono cross, Suikoden 2

  • Good song: Fear Mountain Shrine ambient track from Shadows of Valentia OST. Really sets the mood for the dungeon, and it makes it that much better that the dungeon is windy and massive. If Fire Emblem brought back dungeons, they have a model to work off of.

    Bad song: The HORRIBLE Fire Emblem Engage Anime Opening song. I don't want to remember this song and I wish I had never heard it. If you say "Emblem, Engage!" to anybody who listened to that song before, it will play in their heads as you both collapse to the ground.
