Erm, well, great minds think alike I guess

Okay I would replace Fury of the Furries with Gods, but FOTF is also great

coze · 01 June 2008, 12:05

I don't understand the hype around the xenon 2 music. I think it's pretty ordinary for an amiga title. I would definitely place shadow of the beasts and turricans in the top. then maybe lotus'es

Monsterland · 01 June 2008, 12:43

Shadow of the Beast is always the first one that comes to mind when people ask me this.

turrican3 · 01 June 2008, 12:48

yes shadow of the beast forget about this one.

Zetr0 · 01 June 2008, 13:28

wow, the choice

okay heres a few (not in any order, as there all great)

Super Frog
Perihelion
Hired Guns
Skeleton Crew
Project X
SotB2
Flash Back (Ralph's work is sublime as is the game!)
Jaguar XJ220
Blastar
UFO: Enemy Unknown (preffered the ps1 version for music though)
Escape from the planet of the Robot Monsters
No Second Prize
The Lost Patrol
Space Hulk
Wing Commander

I am sure there is a whole lot more

controversially I would say that a lot, if not all, Bitmap Brothers games have an amazing title music splash / intro... but it gets really sucky with in-game music or there is a distinct lack of it.

laser · 01 June 2008, 13:44

not in order

superfrog
troddlers
bubble & squeak cd32
fire + ice cd32

mihcael · 01 June 2008, 13:50

Agony

Cannon Fodder

Settlers Intro

Graham Humphrey · 01 June 2008, 13:51

I'd go with Apidya too, and Agony's title music is incredible (shame about the game... and the in-game music too). I also like Superfrog's music, along with Flashback and Lotus 3.

I've probably forgotten quite a lot though

alexh · 01 June 2008, 13:57

Laser Squad
A Prehistoric Tale

cane · 01 June 2008, 14:05

First game/music that I could think off when I saw this topic is title music from Agony. And I could also mention Superfrog, Project X, Lotus 2 (I think it's 2), Lost Patrol and probably some more...

Coagulus · 01 June 2008, 14:17

Turricans for me all the way!

LED Storm was a crud game with good choons though.

Hybris had a great tune, so good I'd not fire to not lose a channel of it. Made the game more of an avoid-em-up then!

Z-Out was a goody too.

Graham Humphrey · 01 June 2008, 14:18

Hmm...

3. Brian The Lion - the main menu, world screen, normal levels, bonus levels, boss levels, ending boss and finally the end credits - all beautiful.
4. Turrican trio - awesome muzak
5. Yo!Joe! - the 1st level music is so incredibly atmospheric.
