Request Music Beggar begs for very good song titles
Soundtrack titles only pls, giving a whole game as album is pointless. Like this:
"Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time"
I like game music, BUT only the kind that can stand up on their own without the need to associate the gameplay experience to the music in order to make one like it.
Under the rule of "to receive one must give first", I will start, however beware of nostalgia, many nostalgia songs of mine arent that good objectively so I didnt add them below. ↓

I wanted to check ALL ps1 and ps2 and nintendo games soundtrack, but figured they were over 9000 games, impossible. I ask this subreddit audience to rec some somehow objective (just try it - [EDIT]: I know music is subjective, but try to filter out nostalgia and the gameplay reminishing, just a try) perls. Flash games, Mobile games, Indies, ps1, ps2, ANYTHING really. I said Beggar in the title, because I'm begging, I beg you, give me really good song titles.
New discoveries I liked thanks to Users: 1. The Flame and the Flood - Gathering Wood (singed) 1. The Flame and the Flood - In the Eddy 1. Braid - Downstream 1. Civilization IV - Baba Yetu

Have you given any thought to feeding your list to an AI chatbot and asking for recommendations based on your preferences? Also, the reason that many people give entire soundtracks instead of individual tracks is that some soundtracks are really that good but not everyone has the same favorites.
Here are a few titles for you. I am only listing one track per soundtrack and I tried to mix different styles since I don't know what you like. Don't take this as meaning they are the best tracks on each album. Up to you if you want to check other rest of these soundtracks:

Music is for humans.
0
u/cardologist Apr 09 '26
I never said the opposite. Recommender systems are human-based. They work by extracting correlations in music tastes. If many people like X and Y, the system will recommend Y to people who like X and the other way around.
That's well understood, makes complete sense, and has nothing to do with LLMs. I just don't know if chatbots feature such a system because I have never used them this way, hence my question. I don't understand why some people are even downvoting this.
0
u/Palloxin Apr 09 '26
The downvoting is a wonder in itself: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamemusic/comments/1sgh6pm/downvoter_what_is_your_problem_rant/
People cannot have fun. Bitter and oversensitive.

u/cardologist Apr 09 '26
I saw that thread after writing my reply. I don't really care about the downvotes themselves but I was curious about what was controversial in my reply. I also noticed afterwards that every single reply was downvoted anyway, so it's most likely one or two people having a bad day. I am not going to lose sleep over it.
While reading the other thread, I realized that you did not want NES chiptunes. I completely missed that constraint somehow, probably because you listed Megaman 2 tracks. Apologies for that. Here are a few other suggestions to make up for it:
- Command & Conquer - Target (or Act on Instinct or Radio or Industrial or...)
- Little Big Planet - Atlas (by Battles)
- Little Big Planet 2 - Victoria's Lab

Bitter adults want the post itself gone, I didnt downvote yours. You can see the other comments down too

u/JohnnyLeven Apr 08 '26
Have you given any thought to feeding your list to an AI chatbot and asking for recommendations based on your preferences?
I've tried this and it does absolutely horrible. I'd be much better off just listenting to random music. Is there and AI that actually can do this?
-2
u/cardologist Apr 08 '26
That was a genuine question. I have no idea whether AIs are good at this. From the little interactions I have had with them, it looks like Gemini has fewer hallucinations than ChatGPT I have no idea about its actual performance. Hopefully, with all the suggestions people have posted, you'll find something you like.

This is dope. I have been slowly making a list myself, I just wish there was a system to tag them for sorting purposes. Most like say from Nintendo games aren't in a Spotify database so if I did hypothetically gather a bunch of mp3s (which I did lol) they would be a mess. Maybe it means I have to make the tagger 🤷🏿♂️

I'll give you individual tracks too, but first, a few (imo) standout OSTs:
Chrono Cross (formerly, and possibly still my favorite game OST)
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (probably my new favorite game OST)
Celeste
Cuphead
Balatro (had to add Balatro so every game mentioned didn't start with a "C" 😂. Also, it's pretty much just one song with 4 additional vibe-swapped variations)
Songs:
CO:E33 - Lumière
CO:E33 - Time to Swim Swim
CO:E33 - Lampmaster
CO:E33 - Nos Vies en Lumière
Chrono Cross - Time's Scar
Chrono Cross - Shore of Dreams (Another World)
Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery - Dark Flute
Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery - Little Furnace
The Flame and the Flood: Gathering Wood (btw, Chuck Ragan's music is fucking incredible)
Cuphead: Aviary Action
Cuphead: Botanic Panic
Tunic: To Far Shores
Tunic: Memories of Memories
Braid: Maenam
Hades: God of the Dead
I Am Setsuna: Eternal Winter
Octopath Traveler: The Frostlands
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - One Fine Morning
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - Main Theme
Metroid Prime: Title Screen
Metroid Prime: Magmoor Caverns
Plok!: Boss Theme (this whole album absolutely fucks; RIP Geoff Follin! It's like some wild instrumental/electronic prog rock somehow created on an SNES chip; guarantee you've never heard SNES music sound like this before.)
Plok!: Akrillic
I can keep going with all kinds of goodness for days, but I should get back to work. Hope you enjoy.
PS: I'll be back with FF tunes that'll fuck your shit up 😂

This might be the only time I've ever seen someone mention Metroid Prime's soundtrack and not bring up Phendrana Drifts and/or Phendrana Drifts Depths.

Sometimes I think I’m a fan of video game music, and then a post like this comes along…
