In: s/retrogaming

Star Control II Hyperspace 3DO version on loop. Source: I have actually done this

Menace for Amiga (granted there are only two tracks)

Toejam and Earl is a good runner up.

Oh, definitely the Dustforce album. I played the game for several hours and enjoyed it, but I've gotten so many more hours of entertainment from the soundtrack.

@drcouzelis Hard agree with that. Jazz Jackrabbit is one of my all-time favorite video games, in no small part due to the music.

Well, you can't go wrong with Minecraft, Terraria, or Undertale; and one of the fan-made Angry Video Game Nerd games had some epic music; but in terms of actual retro games, it's got to be the original Doom soundtrack.

BLOOD from Monolith

For roadtrips, Technobabylon, Whispers of a Machine, Silent Hill 2, and Metroid: Prime are our GOTOs.

EDIT: I'm so embarrassed, I thought this was a different thread about comfort games... 😆

Yes, those games have great music! And Battletoads was composed by the famous game composer David Wise!

@gritty

contra 1

Yes, me too! A little while back my friend and I were just chatting and I wanted a game to zone out with. So I played through Contra for NES, four times. 😅

It has nothing to do with me being a good gamer (I'm not). It's just the games I sunk so much time into as a kid have become like a well-known comfort blanket. 😌

Descent - more for the memories than anything else.

I only listen to VG OSTsin my car... I would probably choose Infinite Undiscovery by Motoi Sakuraba, or some arranged albums. I have hundreds to re-listen to!

Sektori! Probably my game of the year this year as well, even though I think it came out last year.
