elviticus Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 What's your choice for a soundtrack for your 2600 gaming sessions? I like to keep the time period of the tunes roughly the same as the games... Something about 80s pop mixes just right w/the sound effects. (Not to mention adds a touch of nostalgia :wink: ) Currently I have a Gary Numan mix in heavy rotation!! (minus "cars" - I've just heard it too much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Do you mean game music, because that has been posted a lot before. But I don't listen to regular music while playing games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean regular music. Since 2600 games (mostly) don't have music, I like to create a soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 'Thomas Dolby: Golden Age of Wireless' just because it kind of fits the visuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I bought two of those best of the 80"s CDs and I jam them nice and high when I'm playing Yar's revenge & Pitfall, some times I think my mother is going to call me to dinner when I have that music on killing the Qotile, but its just my wife.

Joey Kay Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I like to play "Money For Nothing"... it reminds me of playing Dig Dug with my *big* sister as a young one! Cheers! Joey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 To be perfectly honest, I never play any music when I'm playing video games. I always play the game as it was intended...allowing the game's audio (no matter how rudimentary or annoying) to do its thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't turn them off, I just like to add to the atmosphere a little. As a kid, I often played the radio or some new record while playing games too, that's all.

liquid_sky Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 lately its alot of morgan heritage (roots reggae). Its soothing to listen to songs about love and peace while blowing the living fuck out of anything that moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 What goes good with which game? Spitfire Attack- Early Metallica (Kill 'em All) Anti-Flag, U.K Subs..anything frantic and maniacal Basically, I'll usually have punk rock in the background when playing any game. It works best for fast paced 2600 games. I've never tried reggae but I will have to now that Liquid mentioned that he plays reggae when gaming.

liquid_sky Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 oh it dosent make me a better gamer tho (i still suck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I'm surprised I've got any brain cells left to be able to play Spitfire Attack. After about 25k points, it starts to pick up speed to the point where it's nearly impossible to beat. It's like dogfighting and the 2600 did this game very well. Anyway, back to the point. The music just heightens the mood...depending on the game being played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddawg Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Me, I like techno for playing games, i just turn down the volume, put on my big 1970s headphones which scream like a pair o bitches and turn it up!! For titles, well, the Whistle song and other stuff By DJ Aligator. Check Kazaa lite++ or whatever you use for Techno music. Most techno music doesn't have a albumn or such. IT is also fun to listen to the Super Mario Bros NES theme Music(!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I used to play the The J. Geils Band album while playing Mega Force as a young kid. (circa 82' or 83') Yes, yes, the cheezy Freeze Frame and Centerfold songs were played over and over and over.... These days I'll throw on the Pac-Man fever CD or even the J Geils CD now and again .....mmmmemmorrrieeeeessss.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
