Have you ever gotten absolutely hooked on a specific game music (sound) track?

I remember stop playing for some moments Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master at Stage 3 to listen to the song Inner Darkside:

The same would happen in Pulseman’s India stage where there are 2 catchy ones: Stereo Protect and Cycle Partition (or Patition in the sound test).

I have the soundtracks for every video game I’ve ever owned. I take great pride in my collection
and use all of my music to keep myself out of reality. I love nostalgia and I love living in a fantsy.

– The Second Malformation of "G" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5ltBInpN4U) | I used to simply run around in that little area just to have it loop a few times, while Birkin tried to get me acquainted with its claws. Still best boss battle track for me.

– Escape From Laboratory (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e4_5OP4TUI) | Used to keep a save file so that I could listen to that track with the voice.

Those tracks were the two which caused me to stop "playing" for a while, both come from the Resident Evil 2 Soundtrack, in case the videos get taken down. Special mention also for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and its boss battle(s) music, especially when the vocals kick in.

over 15 years later, my chrono cross soundtrack cds are still in my cd player, and i still play them.

The ARK: Survival Evolved theme is something I listen to on loop for at least 10 minutes a day.

First Time ever was Green Hill and Marble Zone in Sonic (circa 1993)
and the entire Soundtrack of Castle of Illusion for Master System around the same time

As Leon said, Resident Evil 2 was huge for me too, with Secure Place(Save Room Theme) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIaEPOdbJWs), First Floor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX6sJCK-OyY) and Escape from Laboratory (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-GVumdOtFI) being my favourites…

A lot of Castlevania Tunes of course, Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears, etc, etc, The entire OST of Megaman 2…., Terra’s Theme on FFVI….

Basically too much to mention, i love this Genre with a Passion !

Lately it’s everything Simon Viklund puts out, PayDay Music is just too effing good.

NieR is by far my favorite game soundtrack.

Oh boy, Castlevania. I’m with you all up in that. Have you heard A Fleeting Respite from Dawn of Sorrow? One of my favourites.
My others from that game are: Pitch Black Intrusion, Dracula’s Tears, Condemned Tower, Cursed Clock Tower –
and Demon Castle Pinnacle. Wow, thats a lot. But there is so much more, especially from Rondo of Blood/Dracula X. Oh, and don’t even get me started on Symphony of the Night.

Whoa, never thought I would find someone who also liked Castle of Illusion’s tracks MS version. I still think about, there are some nice tunes! And Land of Illusion one is something good too.

Sonic CD: Tidal Tempest JP Good Future, Quartz Quadrant JP Good Future.

Sonic CD is a personal favorite of mine too. Metallic Madness Past, Bad and Good Future are quite something.

My favorite soundtracks that I could listen to all day are: Okami, Okage, all Pokemon soundtracks, Monster Racers, Fossil Fighter, Final Fantasy VI, and Splatoon.

Any FF has that addicting soundtrack property for me. VII especially, but more than VII’s soundtrack. I love Chrono Cross’s soundrack. Such a musical masterpeice every track.
