Obscure Video Game OSTs

Sorry in advance if there are any threads like this, or if it’s posted in the wrong section. I did some checking but couldn’t find anything un-regulatory, so I’m going to give myself the [un]official go-ahead. >=]

You could say that this is a thread to post any VGM which is supposedly overshadowed by the the big names in gaming. Not a topic for requests, per se–any game that a member comes across and desires to have posted can be done in the appropriate section. Here, though, is where you can freely share obscure OSTs from video games and discuss which ones are your favorites. Even remixes and arrangements are fine.

Suppose I’ll start with a few.

Vanquish
DeBlob 1 & 2
Aion: Tower of Eternity
Space Channel 5

too many to list for my stuff haha. if you really care, I can do my top soundtracks for each system that nobody really knows/cares about.

Certainly. I’m enthusiastic to discover more soundtracks myself, so any input is appreciated. Really is a shame how much good music goes under the radar, regardless of whether a game’s mechanics are good or bad.

Speaking of people not caring, Pandora’s Tower, although recently released, has a nice score which very few people seem to be interested in. There’s only one uploader on Youtube who has the whole thing, but with no track names. Therefore, I would count it to have a somewhat obscure OST.

Off the top of my head…

Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3D
Title Screen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaLc-Vz5Q00)
Forgotten Path (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCBAxEycyE8)
Never Ending Cavern (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN5h7ixL3lQ)
Mutant’s Forest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FQoM1JCAGU)
Ending Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNKbNAhgTXo)

Spider-Man & Venom: Separation Anxiety
Main Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_ipIX1C-0A)
Heart of the City (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYVbmw9nyKk)
Underground City (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFVxFnDuMdw)
Mechanical Battle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk80STRGpaU)
With Guns Blazing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2f6JnQcsd0)

I think both of these games have kick-ass music and need to be more well known. These aren’t all the songs, but I posted my favorite tunes from each one.

well wow, where would I start haha. i can send you a .txt form of my vgm playlist, and basically everything on there is good in my opinion (or else I wouldn’t have it :P).

off the top of my head, games with genius soundtracks that get little to no love include battle mania daiginjou (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC0QDkKKZP0) (blows anything else on the genesis out the water), harvest moon BTN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az-HOsn3TYM) (simple and sweet tracks you will hear on loop alot, but the melodies are sooo good), yume nikki (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5MXP5etPSo) (weird atmospheric dark ambient songs that loop every 5-10 secs, but it’s strangely good stuff), anything by alberto jose gonzalez (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzG-PqmWjuQ) (mastered the game boy soundchip, and only gameboy fans seem to know of him), and like 100 other soundtracks I can’t remember. :/

That track from Battle Mania Daiginjou is indeed good.
