Post your top three NES/retro-game songs.
We were talking about old games in another thread, and Faxanadu came up, and I remember the music from that game really crushing it, so I started blasting old NES songs...
This one, in particular, really grabs me, from the game we were discussing:
Here are my top 3 favourites:
Silver Surfer Stage:
(love the "sweep-picked" part at 1:15)
Crystalis Mt. Sabre Theme:
Marble Madness Intermediate Race:
Of course, the mainstream games mostly had great music. Super Mario Bros. theme music is the most iconic, the Legend of Zelda has epic music that fits the game perfectly. Contra's music kicks ass...
But I played a lot of horrible NES games as a kid and I usually loved the music, in spite of however frustrating the game was to try to figure out.
