What are the most nostalgic video games or video game songs for you?

[LeftnRightLloyd]

Talk about nostalgic games here, and nostalgic video game music, too!

Okay, i'm gonna talk about one of (in my opinion,) the most nostalgic video game song for me, as well with the game:

I have no idea why, but i always loved Humongous Entertainment and it's kids games when i was younger. I even still played some games that were reccomended for 3-8 year olds when i was 10, though the only Humongous Entertainment games that i know of which are for children at the age of 5-10 are the Spy Fox games.
Not to mention the music was really good.
Well, atleast for me. I thought this music sounded like nails on a chalkboard compared to the music i was used to (N64 music, SNES, Genesis, etc.), and i thought computers were made in 1999, so that's why i thought it didn't sound that good. After a while i realized how happy and good the song is!

...For me.

So, what are the most nostalgic video game songs, or just the most nostalgic video games for you?

Trying to get the dang NES to work and hearing the intro to this song over and over xD.

Pokemon: Fire Red is more nostalgic then probably anything else in the world to me. GBA was my first handheld system and basically the first game that I actually owned, that wasn't my brother's. I have lowkey teared up when replaying it, before.

As for the most nostalgic song.. It's hard to choose. I honestly just have to say all of them.

Dragon Quest VIII OST - Remembrances ~ Cursed Trodain Theme

Good Summer spent playing this game.

Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3: Edge of Spirit

I still go back to Tenkaichi 3 sometimes.

Pokemon Silver/Gold/Crystal - Ecruteak City/Cianwood City

My brother had Silver and I had Gold. I remember the first thing I caught with a masterball in these games was a Natu.

Puggsy is, as many of you probably know by now, pretty much the #1 nostalgic game for me, for reasons I've repeated too many times. The whole soundtrack is also awesome, here are just a couple of examples that are extra nostalgic for me.

(The actual music bit starts at 0:31)

Tomba! is another one up there. I used to play the demo over and over, so the music for the first few areas are huge nostalgia triggers.

Link's Awakening also has a bunch of great memories, listening to the music gives me chills sometimes.

LoZ: LA

Warcraft 2's music is also amazing. The fact that Hearthstone loops parts of some of them while matchmaking has caused me to forget how awesome the full tracks really are.

The menu theme of Micro Machines 2 is also worth mentioning.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World (built-in version) and the Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog 1.

There was one point in my childhood where we switched to Mega Drive and had that version of Sonic the Hedgehog 1, which confused the ever living shit out of me, because not only did it not have Jungle and Bridge Zone, but the entire map shown between acts was gone too! Several years later I learned that the two games were different and that I wasn't crazy knowing that there was a Jungle course.

Back then I really couldn't tell the difference between both SEGA systems as well. We simply called it the SEGA and because 8-bit SEGA wasn't as graphically limited as the NES, kid me didn't notice the jump to 16-bit that well.

The credits march at the end of Super Mario World... To this day I boot up the game and kick Bowser's butt just to watch it.

The intro for Phantasy Star Online for the Gamecube. Also, the title screen. That game was a huge part of my childhood... There's just something really fantastical about that opening sequence though.

Phantasy Star Online Gamecube Intro

I wish I could say the ending song was also nostalgic for me, but I never remembered it. I always remembered the intro, though. Also it might have been because the ending doesn't play in multiplayer, which we played a lot as kids.
I really wish Sega would give us PSO 2 already, but that's probably never gonna happen...

And then there's Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. I only ever rented the game once, but there was one place that left a big impact on me.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Mag Mell

This place was just so strange and kinda ominous. I remember I would try to go by with each in-game year that passed, and there seemed to be changes, but I never actually beat the game as a kid. I got the game I believe a couple years back and I finally beat it. It was quite an experience, to be sure.

Speaking of Phantasy Star...



Beating this game made me feel so damn accomplished.  It took me years, but I never got tired of that opening every time I flicked on the Genesis; I still smile when I hear those opening notes.
