lushgirl_80 #1 Posted February 27, 2016 I know this has been done before,but lately I've been really loving the soundtrack for Castlevania 2. It just kicks ass on so many levels. I really love the song that plays during the daytime.. What's your fave NES songs? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutsy Doodleheimer #2 Posted February 28, 2016 Great post!! I love a lot of the Mega Man songs and anything from Capcom with Konami being a close second. For me I really enjoy these.

SwampFox56 #3 Posted February 28, 2016 Off the top of my head...Flash man - Mega Man 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyHW #4 Posted February 28, 2016 Almost everything on Mega Man 2. Double Dragon, the theme. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Trebor #5 Posted February 28, 2016 Double Dragon, the theme. One of my greatest NES gaming moments is when that theme drops right after you go through the corridor entering the last area of the game. It builds up to the climatic end excellently. My vote for favorite NES song is practically anything from Rygar. The game's soundtrack is awesome. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyHW #6 Posted February 28, 2016 Love the intro to Gauntlet too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoelleAmelie #7 Posted February 29, 2016 . Also, even though this isn't from a game and was done in Famitracker (which is 100% faithful to real hardware limitations), this cover of Truth from Thunder Force 3 is amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BassGuitari #8 Posted February 29, 2016 Castlevania II, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Journey To Silius had particularly excellent music. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unicyclesuck1992 #9 Posted March 13, 2016 The Moon theme from duck tales. possibly one of my favorite pieces of music period 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guitarmas #10 Posted March 17, 2016 The pause music in Battletoads. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint Thompson #11 Posted March 17, 2016 There's a later level in Ninja Gaiden (train level? my memory is fail) but I just remember being absolutely thrown by this music and loved it. Remember hoping somehow that the music would have transferred over to the Lynx version but that obviously didn't happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuggerVideoGames #12 Posted March 26, 2016 Hmm. I never really gave much thought to this idea, but the moon theme in DuckTales immediately comes to mind. I hear if you play the moon theme backwards, you hear Scrooge's voice saying, "I own Gizmo Duck." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember hoping somehow that the music would have transferred over to the Lynx version but that obviously didn't happen. You're probably thinking of the music from stage 4-2, everyone's favorite. The stage is like in a mine with mine carts and tracks that resemble train tracks so you remember it as a train level. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuggerVideoGames #16 Posted March 27, 2016 I always liked the music in the cut scenes in Ninja Gaiden; makes you feel like you were watching a movie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrorussell #17 Posted March 27, 2016 The Castlevania ones are all good; yeah, the daytime one in the town (CV2) is one of my favorite ones. Several Mega Man and Mega Man 2 ones are fantastic. Crash Man's stage may be my favorite. Most of River City Ransom's music is awesome. The NES Double Dragon music is so hummable/whistleable. I actually have a Technos building within a mile of where I live (not entirely sure what they make there but it's clearly the Technos we know and love, I recognize the font). I whistle the music as I walk by. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe this isn't it, I don't remember and after going through all the music of game I couldn't find anything that stuck out "damn I remember this, it's awesome" just left with feeling my music tastes have changed so dramatically that I no longer like it anymore.

Maybe you're remembering something from "Ninja Gaiden II." The sequel actually has a stage on a moving train. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gauauu #21 Posted March 27, 2016 Ninja Gaiden, both the song while you fight your father near the end, or the song during the intro while Ryu reads the letter. Both are so stinking awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrorussell #22 Posted March 27, 2016 THE GUARDIAN LEGEND. Kick ass music throughout! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eltigro #23 Posted March 27, 2016 The beeping in 1942! Just kidding of course. lol Castlevania. Just about every tune is great. TMNT title screen "attract mode" music. Jackal title screen music. (Don't judge!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuggerVideoGames #24 Posted March 27, 2016 The entire Guerrilla War game. Even the intro as you start level 1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Don't judge!) Does NES "1942" have the worst soundtrack (if you can call it that) ever? What is worse? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
