Here is my legacy to gamemusic fans: a compilation of the 100 most beautiful and skillfully executed gamemusics of all time.
Of course it wasn't an easy task. I could easily choose a 100 musics from Yuzo Koshiro only, but I managed to shrink down the list to only the best of the best, ranging from a variety of consoles and years. To do this I had to make certain boundaries:
- Short musics were cut from the list in favor of most elaborate pieces (ok, there's one or two shot ones!).
- Arranged musics not made for game consoles/computer were vetoed too.
- Famous tunes (like Legend of Zelda and Mario's theme) were discarded because its execution were too simplistic for the time being.

I'm most impressed with musicians who created such wonderful music using such limited sound chips from old school platforms like MSX or original Famicom.

@tristaverse7094 2 года назад

Yuzo Koshiro turned around the world of BGM!

@AcidZero 2 года назад

YES

@dogchaser520 Год назад

The ActRaiser soundtrack made the game, practically. 41:41

@dimmakchampion3808 7 лет назад

Still the best list of its kind on RU-vid. Listened to it probably 20-30 times. Thank you.

@AcidZero 7 лет назад

Glad to read that :)))

@Alianger 4 года назад

It would be better if the recordings didn't have stereo and reverb added

@BETMARKonTube 6 лет назад

Most of all, I appreciate the details and the info you added to any single song (name of the song, console version, etc.) That's professional and I love this kind of effort.

@AcidZero 6 лет назад

Thank you for the appreciation :)

@GuyRification 8 лет назад

Dat Streets of Rage boat level theme...classic.

@jaywalk1715 7 лет назад

fuck yea bro classic and the bar level

@cslworldwide 7 лет назад

Yea, I still play that on my iPhone when I go running at night.

@jaywalk1715 7 лет назад

Hell yea bro same here

@macopper4198 6 лет назад

GuyRification love it

@bastardtubeuser 9 лет назад

haha i really liked the "in my opinion" where insert coin would flash. great list, its unusual to see lists on here where people understand how awesome arcade game music was.

@bastardtubeuser 9 лет назад

bastardtubeuser seams a lot of people who love game music mostly know SNES and later systems music with a nod to the nes. but thats only a very small idea of what really went on. as the maker of this video knows .

@AcidZero 9 лет назад

bastardtubeuser Thank you. i'm a videogame music lover, and I tend to like more chiptune-orientated music, and considering that it's not done nowadays, I have to look for the past. PC-88 has a lot of great hidden gems in the music field

@bastardtubeuser 9 лет назад

Acid Zero i totally got that from the video, its something not everyone will get. the difficulties of even producing this music back then was considerable, unlike on a playstation where you just sample an orchestra. not to take anything away from later game music, but i make a clear line between actual chip music vs samples.

@Timii240830 8 лет назад

Arhhh .... So true about the arcade music from 80s and 90s love them to bits! I was fortunate to grew up in that era... The golden age of video games ;)

@Micky999 5 лет назад

The legendary Mega Drive sound chip YM2612

@dogchaser520 Год назад

This reminds me that one of the reasons these games were so engaging is because the music draws you in, and there are so many memorable tunes. Having a limited number of channels to work from (as was the case with the old systems that didn't just play a prerecorded piece) means the focus is often on having a really gripping melody. This limitation can be compared to poetry and lyrics: they tend to be pretty bad if they're not forced to rhyme or use a syllabic pattern. Having some restrictions forces people to innovate inside that system. And we saw some incredible innovations. We could do with more technical limitations to improve the quality of game music in the modern age!

@AcidZero Год назад

Yeah. I guess that with the advance of technology and less memory limitations the gamemusic just took the lazy route and the creativity dwindled.

@ahmadbeyrouthi7153 20 дней назад

i enjoyed every track in this list. 11 years ago video but still on point till now. thanks for making this.

@bermradgaming2992 9 лет назад

Impressive list, impressive editing and wow, that video description! :D

@Decker742 9 лет назад

Nicely done.The intro was pretty sweet. I really enjoyed listening, it brought back some good memories. You went pretty far back!

@evasmith9459 8 лет назад

As soon as I saw Space Harrier as your first choice, I was convinced, this is a great playlist! Definitely one to save

@nicholasc1987 7 лет назад

I"m only a few minutes in and wow!! kudos! Great song choices so far.

@jeffhlewis 8 лет назад

Great list, man! You have good taste. Salamander 2's soundtrack is freaking amazing.

@leighbyford635 2 года назад

This has been for me the best list of classic tunes in one place. I know it’s all personal but as far as I am concerned this person has excellent taste! I take my hat off to you sir. Thank you for your efforts :) Good day

@AcidZero 2 года назад

Thank you so much :)

@joseabreu1991 8 лет назад

bro my lover from revenge of shinobi is the most amazing,magical piece of video game music yuzo koshiro has ever made...its pretty deep stuff.

@Abathor Год назад

I came back to this list from time to time. Still think one of the best lists out there. Very good criteria with very deep songs. The only but, is about picking more than 1 song for same game, as there are thousand great other OSTs which deserve the top 100

@AcidZero Год назад

Yeah, it's difficult to do a 100 list when there are so many good musics. But at the same time there are games where picking just one music would be a crime, like Chrono Trigger. :)

@Abathor Год назад

@@AcidZero yeah, haha, that would be another criteria in yours, like picking just one. But list is very good 👌

@reALlifeCom-pf4yr 6 лет назад

Hey there,thanks a lot ! Really a nice project !! I liked most of your selections for they were my type.Verily i'm a music fan.Thanks again..

Beautiful selection! I love the Chinatown theme from Shinobi and the songs from Streets of Rage. Yuzo Koshiro is the king of 16 bit compositions. :)

@JNPSachiel 8 лет назад

Good set of music dude! Subscribed.

@posivibez2094 5 лет назад

awesome selection!

@megatechbody3207 Год назад

Hitoshi Sakimoto was the best Sega Genesis composer IMO. His Terpsichorean sound driver made ok games sound absolutely brilliant. Midnight Resistance, Crude Buster, Devilish, Verytex, Gauntlet IV, Master of monsters... Games with godlike soundtracks.

@MrPottsTeaching 6 лет назад

Cant include them all. I know you left out Shinobi III and SOTN any track yea yayahalm oahaha savage godlike!!! Great list tho!!! YOu had Space Harrier there First so I was like THIS is Legit!!! =D Watta Way!!! 80's babies Go!!! ye ayaya;D

Yuzo 4 life!!!

@MadGear16bit 10 лет назад

Great list. Were you a big import gamer back in the late 80's-90's? It's nice to see the Master System and Mega Drive get some love. I would've included ThunderForce IV, Devil Crash, Elemental Master (yes i was a big Technosoft fan). Also some C64 stuff from Rob Hubbard and Tim Follin etc.

@AcidZero 10 лет назад

In Brazil there were shops that imported all the games, and then we rented the cartridges. I've played them all. :) I thought about Tim Follin (I love "Sky shark") and Rob Hubbard but at some point I had to dispose his musics to make a top 100. Cheers!

@MasterLinkuei 9 лет назад

@fantasy333crest 2 года назад

@skeggjoldgunnr3167 8 лет назад

Are these songs copyrighted? im just wondering if its okay to use them on youtube videos for film making?

@AcidZero 7 лет назад

All of them. But the only ones that got copyright issues in RU-vid are Nintendo's.

@sudacagamer 5 лет назад

11:03 why that specific version?

@AcidZero 5 лет назад

Maybe nostalgy. I had this game on SMS, so it grew on me. But I heard the other versions and I really like the PSG sound better.

@segalivechannel2991 6 лет назад

@FilmScoreLynx 10 лет назад

Cool list. They sure beefed up the Final Fight "Subway-tune" for the Sega CD version of Final Fight compared to the original. Def. worth checking out: Final Fight CD Metro City Subway theme

Yes, it's on my personal list of best arranged videogame musics ever :)

truly excellent list, very personal, and yet I do identify with a lot of your choices

@JohnHassink 5 лет назад

You know, it'd be easy for me to be lame and go: "What about game [X], [Y] and [Z]?", but the truth is that everyone grew up with different platforms and games. I realize that you put a lot of work in making this video. About 75% of it I already knew, but I discovered quite some exciting new game music thanks to you! This is an awesome video which I'll revisit many times for sure! Thanks a lot for this!

@heilong79 7 лет назад

There is something wrong with your genesis music, was this a crappy emulator by any chance? perfect example is 'Hunger Made Them Desperate' @ 35:07 it is not meant to sound so bad, just listen to the mis timed drums.

@AcidZero 7 лет назад

Yes, this music in specific. Sorry.

@heilong79 7 лет назад

its no problem its just a lot of people hate on the Genesis Sound chip when their only experience was from emulators and they dont know how good it can really be, great collection of music either way.
