the pokémon red/blue soundtracks are some of the finest music ever created. gold and silver as well.
Celadon City from the Pokémon games
I was thinking the ghost tower or cave music from R/B/Y
boring in comparison, Celadon City is truly one of the greatest melodies I know of in any game
Funnily enough, I hated it. I would rush to get on my bicycle. It was just too happy for me! Lol
“Pokémon the Trading Card Game” has such a genuinely good fucking soundtrack!
Probably Final Fantasy Legend 2 or Zelda: Link’s Awakening. I still have midi-format versions of those sitting around.
I wouldn’t specifically recommend that someone go back and dig them up, though, if they haven’t played them and aren’t just wanting the nostalgia value.
For the Game Boy, I think that the technical limitations on the audio hardware really keep it from being competitive with larger systems, though. I mean, it’s impressive what they managed to do with the hardware in that era, but the SNES was a lot more capable.
I really love the GameBoy and SNES sound with the caveat that its with equalizer that reduces the shit out of the treble and higher mid. Balanced out, its pure ear and brain candy 💥
Dr. Mario has a track called “Fever”. Still gets into my head every so often.
I was always partial to “Chill”
I really love the remixed themes in Pokemon Puzzle Challenge. The title opener is a bop also.
I’m pretty basic, but Tetris and Duck Tales come to mind.
Final Fantasy Legend 2. Great battle theme!
FYI, !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works had a nice thread about OST few days ago
I’m a big fan of the Kirby’s Dreamland soundtrack, particularly Green Greens and Dedede’s theme
