I'm kinda curious to see if there is anyone here with synesthesia and how it affected listening to video game music. It's basically where one sense triggers a different one, like hearing->sight (you hear colors from music).

When my friend sent me tunes from the Pokey Bot battle and against Pokey, I liked them both. Pokey's battle theme sounded very blue and kinda lightish blue while the Pokey Bot one was blue, red, and some green. After watching the battles on YouTube, I was surprised how close the background for Pokey was to what I heard while I wanted to fire whomever did the one for the bots because it was nowhere close.

In Pok�mon Diamond and Pearl, Dialga and Palkia's theme was bright, BRIGHT white and golden yellow. It was very blindingly bright. X_X In Star Fox 2, both versions of Eladard were black with several shades of blue.

i'd say, try and play Rez and Space Giraffe, their both very good examples of synthesia

That is so cool that you have synthesia! I learned about it this semester in my Aesthetics class. I would say Rez is amzaing as well though it might overload your senses! :)

Sorry for raising a dead thread, I couldn't access the site at the library due to its filter. :(

I just looked up both games and I have heard of Rez before (but didn't remember the name). It's one of the few games that makes me wish I wasn't such a Nintendo fanboy... o_o
