Lemmings 1

ooookay... You are not voting a "small ticket"....
should this all be the best ingame music you heard or all games you played ever?? 

[Cyker]

That was an abbreviated list of the games I've played which had music which I consider to be required listening for any music buff

And yes, I tend to be overly verbose.

Seriousy 'tho, I must admit I hadn't considered how many games I've played in total over the years until I came up with that list!

And thinking further, I reckon my list of Worst Music in a Game is also fairly long... too!

I spent some time last week recording all the Lemmings soundtracks from the Basilisk mac emulator into mp3s. They sound amazing in 44khz, incomparably better than the 11khz line-out recordings I had taken off my old mac a few years ago.

And I could go on and on for music from nintendo games, but I won't. 

This is precisely why I said no to console games.

Anything remotely quality on the console probably had a fantastic soundtrack. Consoles are just like that. Throw in some massive nostalgia factor and whats the point of this thread?

Please keep it limited to PC games you've played. You can always make another topic for Console games.

System Shock 1 (But not 2; SShock2's music SUCKED)

Even the creepy tracks??  Wow....

Please keep it limited to PC games you've played. You can always make another topic for Console games.

Maybe an admin would be so kind to split the threads? I don't know..

On a side note...
My beyer DT770 cans just arrived.  It's gonna be a long night revisiting all of these tracks again.  Square wave never sounded this beautiful... *brain melts*

Are you using an amp of some sort? I was thinking of buying that one at one point but the high impedance rating threw me off, as I would have to spend another $50-100 on an amp. It's supposed to have very accentuated bass, which should be especially good for games.

[Nix]

If you can get your hands on the 80Ohm version you won't need an amp, especially with a Creative Labs souncard.  I think Creative cards put out enough watts to drive anything from 32-100 ohms effectively.  There really isn't a price difference between the two, as far as I have seen.  I put them through the wringer tonight.  Drum n Bass, House, Jazz, Classical, Rock, MIDI, James Brown, it all sounds so much cleaner than the sony MDR-CD780's  I used to use.  I have seen the light and have been converted!  My "boycott" of Sony products may continue unabated!
The bass on these isn't punchy, or big and boomy like on the Sony MDR-V700DJ's, but it sure lets you know that it's there! Some low freq's (Dom&Roland's "Imagination") can be reproduced on these, that could not have been reproduced on my 700DJ's or CD780's.  Absolutely incredible.  I now need to reload FEAR and SS2 for game testing.

[CP5670]

Cool, it looks like they have a new 80 ohm version out now. There was only the 250 ohm one when I was buying a year ago. Looks like another thing I have to consider getting. The extra bass on those should make them outstanding for games, especially things like explosions and gunfire.
