Music - the sound of happiness

PixelsAtDawn · 07 September 2002, 11:35

I thought I'd find a thread like this if I searched for one, but I didn't see one (although, as has been proved before, my searching abilities are somewhat limited!).

Music was one of the Amiga's strongest plus points, so what Amiga game music do you still find yourself humming today? And I don't mean while you're playing the emulated version

My vote has to go to:

- Settlers, which me and my mate would sit whistling while playing two-player

- Lemmings, obviously
- Alien Breed 2, atmospheric in the extreme

I'm sure I'll think of some more too

Paul · 07 September 2002, 12:16

Alfred Chicken, Megaball, terry's big adventure, Lemmings and more.

Nicky Boom I is another (but one I got from the net converted from ADF back to floppy)

07 September 2002, 12:35

Army Moves' "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball" (more whistling than humming though, and my grandad does it too

)

The Le Chuck theme from Monkey Island. I've never heard such a great tune in any game again

Marcuz · 07 September 2002, 15:11

the only song i've ever learned on a wood flute (? you know the shepherd's one ) is the main of monkey island 2...
but to answer, also the char-songs from civilization, the intro of Eye of the Beholder 2, Shadow of the Beast 2...
Now that you make me think about it, there are many that are in my mind as any non game related song that i like.

All good answers! I knew this was a good idea! Shame the Amiga-based Best Game Music In The World Ever website went down the pan really - http://gamemusic.siliconcircus.co.uk if you want to see what's left

Amiga1992 · 07 September 2002, 18:47

*Turrican II, mainly level 1-2 or one of the spaceship levels

*Lemmings. All of them!

Antiriad · 07 September 2002, 19:10

The techno music for the intro of Project X remains the best part of the game for me!

Also Cool Coyotes piano shindig at the beginning of Fire And Ice is immensley enjoyable.

R-Type, Xenon and Xenon 2 all have fabulous main theme tunes

Shatterhand · 07 September 2002, 19:18

Turrican 1, 2 and 3
Jim Power
Benefactor..

Those songs always pop in my head from time to time

BippyM · 07 September 2002, 19:59

I Think the music in Z-Out is fab, but I keep coming back to find my self humming War from Cannon Fodder oh and the lemmings level tunes

PixelsAtDawn · 07 September 2002, 20:37

Oh god of course, Benefactor! Shatter, we have so much in common

Amiga1992 · 08 September 2002, 00:40

Oh yeh! benefactor!!! "chuba chubaaa chub chub chubaa chubaa chub chub"

And you made me whistle teh tune for Fire & Ice... it's so catchy!

woof! ... woof! ... .... woof!woof!

Antiriad · 08 September 2002, 00:58

who let the dogs out?

looks like me...

08 September 2002, 01:20

Super Stardust, Ishar 3, Fury of the Furries...

Dastardly · 08 September 2002, 17:39

The tunes that I still have in my head to this day are:

Gods - Into the Wonderful

SOTB + SOTB2- Intro music

Lemmings - ARGGHHH

Turrican 2 - All of it

The Chaos Engine - All of it

Xenon II - Megablast

The Newzealand Story -

alkis21 · 09 September 2002, 10:19

All good choices, but you forgot:

Agony, both intro and ingame themes
Shadow of the Beast II, the death screen theme
Leisure suit Larry
Lotus Turbo Esprit

The best of the best is of course Loom, you can't beat The Swan Lake, but it's not Amiga music obviously.

IanS · 16 September 2002, 21:31

War... never been so much fun!

I loved the title song for Cannon Fodder, not to mention the between levels music. I just used to let it play for hours... oh how sad
