Nothing like other RPG OSTs of the time, itвЂ™s the first video game project of Jeremy Soule, who went on to become a titan of the genre, composing the Elder Scrolls series and more. ThatвЂ™s been denied by Square, but it didnвЂ™t save the game from receiving unfairВ backlash: Evermore is a flawed but good RPG with some genuinely unique elements, one of which is its soundtrack. The only game ever designed by Square in North America, word upon release was that this was a Western spin-off of Secret of Mana (with which it shared many qualities), when Square hadnвЂ™t ported the superior Seiken Densetsu 3 ( Secret of ManaвЂ™s actual sequel) from Japan. Oh, the curious case of Secret of Evermore. one of the only Playstation stealth soundtracks that doesnвЂ™t feel horribly dated (we see you hiding at the back, Syphon Filter), a.k.a. Harry Gregson-Williams and Norihiko HibinoДЄ.k.a. When winning means getting the titular 40-year-old virgin laid, classy barely comes into it. Not as classy as Journey-composer Alex WintoryвЂ™s orchestral score for the remake, but weвЂ™ll stick with the Roland MT-32 original, which perfectly captures the chintzy trashiness of this Las Vegas vacation (sorry, we mean Lost Wages vacation). Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards Extra points go to Yacht Club for convincing original Megaman composer Manami Matsumae to contribute two tracks to the score.Д©9. Thankfully videogame music nerd Jake Kaufman вЂ“ who cut his teeth making music for the Game Boy Color in the early вЂ00s вЂ“ does a bang up job of bringing to mind the golden era of chiptunes.

We hope this list brings back some memories for you too. This list brought back a lot of memories, more than your typical retrospective list, and during the very long process of growing it these tunes brought us back to specific times - Christmas mornings, drunk nights as teenagers, half-forgotten Blockbuster rentals andВ so much more.

But it has to be said, if you really want to get the full experience for these soundtracks give these games a spin. That way we can include even more games that might have gotten snubbed otherwise (there are, obviously, some exceptional cases).ДЇinally, weвЂ™ve included a song for each entry and a playlist for them all. For example, some of us really love Megaman 3, but Megaman 2 is here to take the trophy home for the whole NES team. Also, since video games can have a tremendous amount of sequels we have occasionally chosen our favorite from a series that deserves recognition as a whole. This means no Beatles Rock Band, no Tony Hawk, and no Grand Theft Auto (for what itвЂ™s worth, Vice City is the best) because to mix those with original soundtracks is simply unfair. Most importantly: licensed soundtracks -В an incredible act of curation and an art form in their own right - are out of bounds. OrderingВ decadesвЂ™ worth ofВ timeless video game soundtracksВ into a definitive top 100 requires a few ground rules.

But what areВ the greatest examples of this marriage? From Nintendo 8-bit classics to stirring cinematic scores that have accompanied modern masterpieces like Red Dead Redemption and The Last Of Us, hereвЂ™s our ultimate guide to the best ever video game OSTs.
