  • I'm gonna take a wild shot and guess the Video uploader is about my age... 29-31. Alot of these pics are from the golden age of 16 bit and the beginnings of CD era music. Particularly good chioces are: Tempest 2000, SOR2, Ridge Racer, KI, SOTN, and Actraiser. All of these soundtracks BLEW AWAY people when these things came out.

    Although with his name, I really surprised that MGS2 didn't make the cut.

  • where is madden 03? imop the best ever and it aint even on here.... that had sum epicly great rock on it

  • lmao @ Streets of Rage, good game but the 2nd best soundtrack in a game? Really?

  • Missing the rest of the Streets of Rage series, and Metal Gear. Really though, you need a list of 100 best soundtracks to make a decent list at all. Too many good ones to choose from.

  • 160 likes 159 dislikes... i need time to think about this

  • Soooooo no Zelda, metroid, Mario galaxy, kingdom hearts, or Kirby 64 is on here? Geez......

  • I can't believe you didn't include Medal of Honor: Frontline. Michael Giacchino's soundtrack is just perfect.

  • @Bluecion No dude, i wasnt offended at all and you really doesnt sound like a douche you have a point. Of course there are the exceptions, maybe my comment was a bit general. Maybe i should've said "most of the people who didnt like the list are not true gamers...", you really have a point.

  • @Bluecion My point is i've never said Taste in music and in video games are the same thing. And i havent said " you're not a gamer if you dont like certain video games "...i said if you hate and bash all this list then im sorry, but you're not a true gamer ( and "gamer" doesnt mean play games only, its more complex than that) I cant be open minded with console shooters fanboys saying " THIZ LIST SUCKXOORS", im sorry.

  • @Bluecion I've never said such a thing of they being equal. It doesnt matter if it is a video game, movie , classic music, theater, opera. If the music in it is good, than it is good and final dot. And, prejudjement people liking it or not, video game HAVE good music.

  • Why is Streets of Rage 2 on here? It has obnoxious music....

  • i liked and its 156 156

  • 155 likes 155 dislikes WTF

  • Comment removed

  • This should be a list of 20 Chrono Trigger songs

  • Mine top OST is Mafia The City Of Lost Heaven

  • my number one is pokemon red/blue elite four music! :D

  • Ocarina of time? Metroid Prime???

  • wow... you don't have to just include games from 30 billion years ago

  • has anyone else noticed the graphics in games are getting better but the games themselves are getting worse.

  • DO A BARRELROLL

  • SECRET OF MANA FTW LADIES AND GENTS X99

    

  • ZEROOOOOOOO 00000

  • are you joking? 

  • There are some nonsense games on this list, yeah. But it features a reliable number of great games in VG history. Those who hates all the list are not true gamers or are stupid shooter kids of Halo and Cod.

  • @TheKrustaceox hear hear those halo and cod types have ruined video games

  • @TheKrustaceox you're dumb...

  • @omniscientken you are virgin ;)

  • @TheKrustaceox ...Star Fox is one game I love on N64 but I play Halo and Cod. too ... I am now a gamer yes or no ? ... I like more game genren then just one If you play shooter one musik is better but when you play rbg // beat em up another musik sound is better .. please respect that !

  • @bbcextrasragnarock as i've said in my comment. If you hate "ALL" ( i mean the entire list ), then im sorry but you are NOT a true gamer. And i've never said i dont like halo and cod.

  • @TheKrustaceox I hate not all songs but any songs I don´t like ... and .. you like Halo , Cod but that are no gamer games ?! ...

  • @bbcextrasragnarock never said such a thing. Those who praise only halo and cod ( and modern shooters) are no gamers at all.

  • @TheKrustaceox Why did you bring up Halo and COD into this? How are they relevant to this list? Are you saying the music for the Halo series is crap?

  • @TheKrustaceox retarded

  • @hkrogers obviously a Hallo kid. Nice channel, boy, more retarded than you its impossible. Come up with a better argument next time, i own you anyday ;)

    PS: My comment will still be up there.

  • @TheKrustaceox coming from someone who can't spell and has no videos still retarded 

  • @hkrogers thats not my main account hahahahah Keep up uploading your Hallo toys video, im still waiting for a decent argument and my comment to be removed from up there xD By the way, why the hell am i wasting my time with this dumb fat redhead 10 y'old hallo toy boy? LOL. Go fuck yourself and stop wasting your parents money with your toys, you shameful loser xD Get the fuck out of my sight ;)

  • @TheKrustaceox pathetic not evening going to waste my time on you just keeping on spelling wrong and being a bitch go back to fucking people for money and don't respond to me any more it's wasting my time although then again you've got nothing else to do also that main channel excuse is lame heard it before even if that was true you'd have more then 2 subs

    still retarded

  • This could maybe be the top 20 midi game soundtracks. But what's doing Shadow of the Colossus in there? That game is not a 16 bit, early 90s game.

  • why megaman 2? MEGAMAN X2 ITS A MASTERPIECE FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • When I heard ten, I half-expected the Doctor Who theme.

  • This list was laughable at best. The only things they got right were CT, FF6, and SOTN. Xenogears OST wasn't bad (I know a lot of people like it but its only average for me) I guess.

    No Zelda games, no Metroid games, only 1 Mario game and it wasn't 3, MW, or 64. And like already pointed out, no MGS games either. Oh....and no Dragon Quest, Phantasy Star, Shining games.

  • I like this list, 90s biased? Yes, but 90s soundtracks were memorable and created awesome atmosphere considering the tech limitations. I do agree it's missing some Zelda/MGS/Portal but still beats Halo and Oblivion hands down.

    Modern game soundtracks suck, simple as. I couldn't list a single game of the last ten years that I can clearly remember. It's all boring ambient background shite and millions of boring Hans zimmer ripoffs that all sound the same. I especially hate western RPGs, Chrono T

  • It just seems ironic though.  Your YT channel is named "DecoyOctopus83".....

    DECOY OCTOPUS...

    Atleast have one Metal Gear Track in this line up.

  • where is metal gear solid 

  • megaman, aa yeah, memorie of my past

  • this list blows

  • @Ponimaju you obviously don't even know these games, It's sad to see you are missing out on all those classics with fantastic soundtracks, when devs actually cared about game music.

  • i sense a lot of nostalgia in this list ... its a bit sad ...

    a lot of "newer" games also had great soundtracks

  • Secret of Mana yeaaaaaaah

  • 1:20 DO A BARRELROLL!!!!!!

  • Yes, Megaman 2 :D

  • oh i got one i bet everybody for got about what yall know about panzer dragoon 1 and 2 and the ever rare glad i still got mine panzer dragoon saga great game ah the memories

  • this vidoe is inaccurate.

    it was made before super meat boy soundtrack came out and made eargasem's REACH FINAL FORMATION

  • Yeah, FF6 is definitely the best and Chrono Trigger is next imo. Sonic 1/2/3/S&K right after.

  • OMG OMG, since i was a child i remember a fighting game for SNES that was awesome and i couldnt remember the name, then i saw the video, Killer instict, a great great game

  • No Zeldas? D:

    nice video anyways

  • I guess it's a good list, maybe a little biased though, it seems to focus on games from the 90's mostly. In my opinion, some very good video game soundtracks should have been on this list, for example, the music of Morrowind is just awesome, and some music from halo is defenitely awesome too. But this list's okay I guess, for their time, these were all nice soundtracks.

  • killer instinct has a very 80s action movie feel to it

  • What about Valve?

  • Gamergasm has clearly never heard of the Commodore Amiga before...

  • awesome freaking list exelent choice its not easy to make a top 20 list i felt really good seeing the countdown great !!

  • maybe the greatest game soundtracks of the 1990`s ^^

  • You forgot might and magic 6 :)

  • wtf?why do you hate games with more than 248x126 resolution?

  • What?! No Morrowind or Oblivion?

  • nice list

  • Wow! Nearly 50/50 at lover-hater situation!

    Still I understand both aspects. I heard this story from my music teacher at school that there was once a music store where you could buy quitars and of course try em out before buying, however there was a rule that they shouldn't play that riff from Deep Purple's Smoke on the water because they have grew tired to it.

    Same goes to lists like these, there are lots of Smoke on the waters in video game musics, it's better keep to them in your hearts.

  • What a joke list. No Mario(just the rpg) and no Zelda. I was somewhat relieved when i saw FFVI at number 1 but seriously there are like 10 FF sound tracks that could run circles around 3/4's of these games. Kirby,Metal Gear Solid, Metroid are just a few others that got the shaft.

  • where was goldeneye?

  • assasins creed 2 soundtrack was brilliant.

  • Aww, no GoldenEye, Perfect Dark or GTA San Andreas?

  • legend of zelda should make at least top 2, and it didnt even reach top 20, bad list sry D:

  • 0:26, whats that game?

    must be a ff...

  • dude don't listen to everyone. this list slays. of course you didn't actually make the list but still...

  • Yikes. This is a bad list. Blood trickled out of my ears when #1 started playing. Such a criminally overrated soundtrack.

  • Comment removed

  • better than ffVI I would have choose ffVII

  • Certainly not how I'd decide my list, but classic videogames FTW. :)

  • Final Fantasy is the best

  • what about FFVII?

  • WOW Worst list EVER!

    And 50% of gamers agree

  • 19 greattttttt

  • only console games... lol. that's why this list sux. it's really boring when people put starfox, megaman, castlevania, mario, old final fantasy games to this kind of lists...

  • the music here sounds pretty cool, but it really should be renamed to "the 20 best japanese 8-bit soundtracks". "of all time" has a pompous ring to it

  • What is the name of the Xenogears track?

  • Nice vid! I must say I love your calm and controlled answers to some of the moronic comments lol

  • These are probably one of the worst game soundtracks i've ever heard... Although i can't seem to find the date of upload for this video but i can bet it's gotta be well back in the 90's, or just somebody's clock's been running just a decade late...

  • Pretty good list, had quite the flashback while watching it. Makes me want to play it all again and just enjoy the music.

  • YES!!! Happy to see Super Castlevania IV on this list, and at #3 no less!

  • Hum, I agree with FFVI #1. Xenogears would be #2 XD

  • This is only bad soundtracks :(

  • No Super Metrod?

  • CONkER! that mp was hilarious!

  • lol.

    Streets of Rage? Really?

  • Castlevania Symphony Of The Night, everything else is second!

  • Comment removed

  • sonic is the best your retarded.

  • I really think the first song in Super Street Fighter 2, #5.

    Should been nr 1.

  • you don't know valkyrie profile...? tsk!!!

  • Conker's bfd FTW!!

  • Old game didn"t have great flashy 3d design, so it worked more on the atmosphere. It used music and scenarii to move the gamer.

    So it's quite logical that there quite a few old games in this list.

  • Some old games have better soundtrack then gameplay

  • WTF The Witcher soundtrack is not on the list ???

  • wheres mirrors edge with Still alive ? :(

  • uhm check the dates

  • @RomanianUser lol made my day

  • i actually love and respect your list, the classics should be recognized for what they are. Way to go!!!

  • YEAH the classic shiot

  • FF6 a worthy winner

  • killer instinct WHOOT!!

  • Star Fox. YES

  • lmao at #11, great video

  • These are going to be the greatest soundtracks ever?

    Where is Monty on the run, Ghosts'n Goblins, Metal Gear Solid, Turrican, Shadow of the beast?

  • And I quote:

    "Naturally, any list of this nature has the potential to fuel a series of furious fanboy rampages. Yes, there are a number of great soundtracks that are not included here."

    Feel free to create your own list as means of rectifying the travesty that is this one.

  • oh, i am not on an rampage. ;)

    just wondering, because this choice of tracks is most different from any other i've seen and it includes very unpoular tracks (in my opinion).

    Of course everyone has his own choice of favourites and that is totally ok. But you made yours public and so you have to deal with my opinion in public. That means not, that i do not respect and tolerate your favourite soundtracks. And it's far away from a rampage. ;)

  • @schnubbel76 These aren't even his favorites. Stop being a douche!

  • amen!

  • @DecoyOctopus83 thats a terrible list alright... very bad...

  • Totally agree with the nr 1 !!!

    FF VI Best soundtrack ever !

  • I think there were some great ones, but mostly i dont agree with this

  • this clip is about music not the game itself ...

    good 5 stars

  • Comment removed

  • Great editing, and a lot of unique, but great, choices. Five stars.

    L O L opinions

  • a NORMAL COMMENT ON YOUTUBE?

    are thou a god?

  • trash!!

  • Lol i think the autors of that video play only 20 games in theyier life.. 2/5

  • star fox FTW!!

  • Comment removed

  • Some of the earlier choices were odd... but Final Fantasy VI, CV: Sotn, CV4, Actraiser, and Streets of Rage are all solid. Great list!

  • WHAT no F-zero :O

  • Actually, I don't believe that there are any Chinese developed games on this list.

  • idiot LOL

  • @MattyCody

    chinese games?

    The only games NOT made by JAPANESE people are probably pieces of crap such as Call of Duty.

  • @ZeldaLink239173

    lol look at this weaaboo

  • @avatarion

    Yes, I know! Disgusting~

  • shit^^

    only game boy color and super nintendo games^^

  • MGS, masterpiece of a soundtrack

  • which retard gave this guy a thumbs down, MGS is truly awesome in terms of so..everything

  • Whoever made this earned my respect for putting FFVI at the top. I didn't agree with a lot of the list, but that made the list great

  • DEVIL MAY CRY. has some really good ones.

  • EPIC DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Of course. Its always Final Fantasy. Mario RPG needs to be WAY higher than 17...

  • wot bout halo

  • (My personal favorites from those not listed) #1: Sage Frontier #2: Final Fantasy 7 #3: Baldur's Gate 2 #4: Super Smash Bros Melee #5: Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals #6: Planescape Torment #7: Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow #8: Lunar #9: Icewind Dale 2 #10: Ogre Battle That's a tough list to make. There are so many good ones out there. . .
  • 5 stars just for "Shadow of the Colossus" and "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" :+)

  • Here is my list. Series and games 1. Metal Gear Solid 2. Uncharted 3. World Of Goo. 4. Little Big Planet. 5. Tekken 6. Star Wars 7. Killer Instinct. 8. Mortal Kombat 9. Army of Two 10. Black
  • my pick in no particular order is: mega man 3 castlevania 4 homeworld 1 and 2 silent hill homecoming fear 1 and 2 doom zork nemesis myst series mechwarrior 2 starfox 1 portal heretic 1
  • Hell yeah act raiser, good call. Castlevania too, but why was there no Simons theme? its the best.

  • The list is about the soundtracks as a whole. Not the specific songs.

    Although, yeah, it's a shame that Simon's Theme was not used to represent the Super Castlevania IV OST. It's a fantastic song.

  • Killer instinct and starfox was ok but why wasnt crash bandicoot and super mario 64 in there.

  • yeah, you got that right

  • this suck the countdown is vice versa every song sucked even more than the last metal gear theme or halo theme should be on first place

  • nah not halo. MGS yes.

  • Well if it werent for the amazing soundtracks in these retro games, I can bet that the soundtracks you hear today wouldn't be as good so stop complaining, I loved all his dicisions expecially final fantasy 6 and star fox :D

  • toooo much retro!

  • why wasnt metal gear there or leagacy of kain or even halo am sorry if i affend anyone but do u really think these retro game can compete with mgs lok gow soul caliber am sorry but those games are not on there level

  • Ok, just to add.

    This video deserves much more than a 3 star avg.

    Mega Man 2, Castlevania 4, Chrono Trigger, Star Fox, FF6, ActRaiser.. and more? Amazing, amazing list.

  • This is not a perfect list by any means. Some strange choices not bad, just things you don't usually see in these lists.

    Lots of them DESERVE this though. If it weren't for this list, there wouldn't be any that would list Star Fox as having one of the best for example. ..

    OH MY GOD. I just heard Tempest 2000 in the background. AMAZING soundtrack. Then ActRaiser, jesus christ.. .. wow this just went up a lot more in my book.

  • Well if you look at everyone's different taste in music there is no such thing as a perfect list right?

  • No Phoenix Wright?

  • WHY ARE EVERYONE MISSING MORROWIND! That soundtrack is pure awesomeness

  • missing the best game soundtrack ever...metal gear solid for ps1 theres no better...

  • Where's Half-Life 2?

  • yep.. there are only old games.. :| same music in every game... but still nice sountracks :)

  • It's not the same music in every game :S

  • Mostly JRPGs on the list. Very nice soundtracks, but could have used at least a lil bit of diversity.

  • What about Probotector

  • I think, SoM deserves a higher rank, and why wasn't there any Zelda or DKC2 music in it?

  • think i saw 2 in there i liked...

  • how the fuck could you no put in something from donkey kong country? preferably the last boss theme or the theme for the level 'fear factory', i think i have fear factory on my channel if you don't know what I'm talking about.

  • hm, kinda fail

    some good, but many missing

  • Xfiles theme is the Best..!!!XD

  • street fighterrr ST is the SHIT!

  • number one is exactly where it should be. I can't believe VII is more popular.

  • actraiser is like the best game ever

  • Secret of Mana..... that is a very long time ago and that game is truly epic...

  • Great Choices!!!! Sonic, Nights Into Dreams, Chrono Trigger, Megaman 2, Street Fighter II, Final Fantasy VI, Starfox, Actraiser & Streets of Rage 2 Revenge of Shinobi? Castlevania Symphony of the Night Castlevania Bloodlines? Thunder Force III? Dragon Ball Z Super Botouden? Guardian Heroes? Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past? Ninja Gaiden? Yu Yu Hakusho? Contra Commando?
  • *Sigh* Another list missing my favourite... Doom... Oh well... Not my list.

  • Why is everyone bashing him and downvoting him? He is just expressing his opinion. Good list by the way.
