[TimNP61278]

[TheAllArounder]

Good vids. Taking me back. lol :) Thanks.

[kaypeeization]

[punchbowlhaircut]

Back in Black is my favorite 8-bit theme.

[Eehable1997]

1# super mario bros theme song haha, i was hoping to see it because it's my favourite 8-bit song. but legend of zelda is a strong second by my oppinion :)

[Fredrik2012]

Totally agree. But how about Mario 3?

[va500x2]

Catlevania theme *o*

[XxRelmxX]

I love your list. You put some obvious classics but also some more forgotten games. One can make over 10 lists of 10 best but yours is really neat. :)

[mihalios90]

Great games, great memories !

[segacd32xz]

*cough* *cough* super Mario bros

[segacd32xz]

@Spritemasters524 sonic was on the 8 bit sega master system too but he probably used the 16 bit version

[TheKnightsOfGaming99]

#11 Back in Black by ACDC

[Spritemasters524]

sonic is 16-bit

[XxRelmxX]

@Spritemasters524 not only, it was on Master System to which is 8-bit, the music came from the 8-bit game.

[Vindrag]

#10 awesome tune!! great way to start the game.#9 don't make me cry now!! :p ahh. suits the game perfectly.. #8 prefer the SS Bros covers from this whole series. #7 classic!! make me want to slay those enemies so bad! #6 meh for the game =D for the tune #5 overabused by fans, but still timeless. #4 un-expected! cool #3 OHH! love it =( #2 love this even more! the beginning. no words can explain how amazing this is #1 WHAT!? never saw that coming. Agree!, deserves a top 10 spot! Incredible theme:)

[Elvis7Cool]

omg i forgot the duck tales theme i am so happy to hear it again thx uploader

[Davetacular45]

Its a pretty good list if you ask me.

[SindarinElealar]

Heh, surprised Wily 1-2 was "only" 5th; would've been my pick for #1 for sure. That said, I can agree with this list.

[turtlehare]

Wonder boy III side crawler's dance - yes yes yes !!!

[MrEngranaje]

Holy crap! That Golden Axe theme!

[yeigox]

i love duck tales the moon!!

[adwipo]

duck tales FTW :D

[stephenie27]

no more time to fuck around people it's MOTHER FUCKING GOOOLLDENN AAAAAAAAAAAXXEEE

[F0rTe86]

"don't be a bitch" xD!!! nice one (y)...

[F0rTe86]

@F0rTe86 BTW nice selection...

[gromlyja]

Megaman 2 FTW!! Very Epic.

[KitsuneNights]

What can i say, this list rocks!

[bla287]

#3 sounds like what you'd expect in a keygen!

[blackdragoncamilo]

What is the theme of aperture?

[habitak7989]

dr. wily´s castle in mega man 2 - for me, that is a piece of great art

[Brendanvio]

Awesome....Sidecrawler's Dance.

[Rees5274]

Zelda - the most epic song ever

[Hmmfomtgal]

4:00 oh itz that megaman song ive NEVER heard before... and i dont even KNOW what zelda and duck tales are... -_-

[OmagaMinion]

no offence but did you steal these from every single other top 10 8 bit themes

[plostellum]

wow, I must say your #1 surprised me - I never would have guessed Duck Tales

[OmagaMinion]

@plostellum really? is this the first time you seen a Top 10 8-Bit Themes?

[plostellum]

@OmagaMinion it may be the third video I've seen about those themes

[KaMui1987]

totally agree with YOUR PERSONAL AND SUBJECTIVE taste of music ;D

i'm totally satisfied with your top 10 ^_^

[nickantibarney]

first song is from the first stage of castlevania i for the nes. Before I played gradius 3 on the snes it was my favorite konami game. After that is smb 2 *USA) ending theme. After that, brinstar from metroid.

[PartyPeanutChow]

the only thing i would switch is number 1 and number 2

[superchango8]

Hell yeah, megaman 2 has some of the best music of any NES games

[Nnementh]

Bubble bobble is not on the list WTH

[AnimeAlexx]

For real 8bit-sound

240p

[coolpelon]

lol dont be a bitch

[ImmaGeneralBlue]

CastleVania is only 10? >:c

Oh well, it's your list.

[Aasmund01]

@ImmaGeneralBlue Watch the fucking intro again.

[Aasmund01]

@Awesome1601 Watch the intro of this video.

[RatmanXX]

Oh, Duck Tales... good memories, that music really deserves to be #1. Really nice Megaman-like theme!

(but this is only my opinion)

[jorasave]

thumbs if from most of the top ten videos around 8 bit duck tales is always on top

[nailnine]

kudos for dragon's trap and an amiga song. Well done

[blasterman9]

Thanks!! TheTop10's

[RealGeobardi]

Great selection of music, you made me want to take off the dust of my NES and Master System.

[SendeRukr]

FAIL , MARIO MUST BE FIRST!!!!

[MrSantiago0789]

Sonic is 8 bit or 16 bit?

[MrDimwit646]

@MrSantiago0789 the original sonic games are 16 bit, but sega also issued a third party company to make master system/game gear versions (witch had little to do with the megadrive/genesis originals story wise)

[Blashyrkh22]

Why does everybody pretty much worship Duck Tales - The Moon? I would take Megaman 2 - Dr. Wily's Castle, Metroid - Kraid, or Batman - Laboratory Ruins over The Moon any day...

[DMonkey123]

@Blashyrkh22 The Moon is The Shit.

Really good..really.

[Blashyrkh22]

@DMonkey123 Eh, it just sounds corny to me. I guess it may be due to the fact that I never played it when I was young, so I guess nostalgia is a factor in this?

[DMonkey123]

@Blashyrkh22 Hmm, yeah, nostalgia is always a big plus in everything. But I've never played this game either, and I still find that it sounds great. As an user stated in another video, "I'm getting nostalgia and never even played the game!"

[hackebeil20]

[nerd mode]technically, sonic was not an 8-bit song. [/nerd mode]

[SuperGreedyboi]

Pretty nice some hard games are on this list to..

[TheKev1801]

damn 8bit golden axe really surprised me there. so good

[Tahur45]

Nº 1 y Nº 5 the best

[coolgame151515]

6 is 16 bit not 8 bit unless you are using the gb sonic

[TheTop10s]

@coolgame151515 Gamegear is 8bit.

[coolgame151515]

@TheTop10s You right sorry when i looked it up i looked at the wrong thing.

[javacad0]

and the Sega Master system

[yankee2110]

@coolgame151515 pwned!

[ulquiorra144]

I love number 8, 6, and 2!!! \m/

[toonswap]

Love the music for Shadowgate... especially during the end scene.

[WarOmnimonX]

Of course The Moon is in 1st place, it's the best damn VGM 8-bit song ever made.

[SuperWes64]

Take a dump on the toilet, take a dump on the toilet.

[electro311]

I remember playing that duck tales, and I agree #1 is the best.

[GamerFluffy]

@mopbrothers Hell yeah, my man... hell yeah

[Boslatine]

anyone think of brentalfloss when mega man played?

[00GCGaming]

@Boslatine i was thinking of okkusenman =D

[Boslatine]

@00GCGaming i guess close enough

[CB20092]

I agree on #1, it was an amazing tune indeed.

[megothier]

is it sad that I only recognized the mega man and zelda tunes?

[Boslatine]

@megothier it will be ok there will always be more

[gwk326]

sonic was on sega genesis. you know genesis was 16 bit, right?

[Boslatine]

@gwk326 remixed to be an 8 bit

[kujayhawk47]

Where is pokemon when u fight your rival at the end of the elite four?!?!??

[morrigan909]

LOVE THIS! 

[Kernal00]

Best introduction ever. Period.

[JohnSteveberg]

Your Sonic the Hedgehog looks like Sonic CD

[misterkurdt]

Anyone else think that the Pokemon music sounds kinda similar to the Metroid music?

[supersmashfan08]

Who is wonder boy!!??

[snobunny123]

Number 5: Take a dump in the toilet Take a dump in the toilet It smells bad! Take a dump in the toilet It smells so bad! take a dump in the toilet it smells just like Rotten fish and cheese Rotten fish and cheese OH YEAH

[tokern93]

/watch?fmt=18&gl=CA&hl=en&v=Pa­oRBIcHAKc

;)

[roxasthenobody2000]

i think u counted wrong number five should be number 1!

[TallAceTheJuggalo]

I agree with this entire list.

[pbchrist]

faxanadu and bionic commando belong on here. as well as the theme to 1943.

[annator3]

when it reached #3 i was like WHY IS THERE NO Legend of Zelda -RAGING-

then #2 solved that rage AWESOME CHOICES MAN =D

[Azertificate]

What console is this version of sonic played on? Scrap brain sounds far better on the SMD (genesis)

[Triblazer]

@Azertificate It was the Sega Game Gear version of Sonic 1. I still have my copy of a and a beaten up but functional Game Gear to play it on, so, yea. lol

[Kuroraion]

@Triblazer I don't know about Sega Game Gear, but the Sonic shown and played as #6 is definately Sega Master System. Played that for hours and hours. Maybe the same was alter used for Game Gear?

Anyways, SMS was a native 8bit system compareable to NES.

[Triblazer]

@Kuroraion Really now? I guess they ported it to the Game Gear then. I never knew that, the first Sonic I played was on the Genesis, I didn't know they released in on SMS.

[RoboBobb]

1:12. Idea for minecraft conceived from this?

[smayl2]

When Number 5 started, I didn't noticed that I've Started singing OkusennMan

[tidalwave1006]

you should make a top 10 iphone apps video or top ten ds games video

[KizosUnleashed]

you dont need to cuss to get the word out.

[mrcaatmanu]

lol i identified most of the themes and i loved it!!

great top 10, really

[TransformersMan51]

you my friend have a great taste in nes music

[Jabx82]

I  totally forgot number 5! Yes, I love that theme!!

[PhAnToMdreamer28]

love it, this is awesome!

[Realystic13]

Vote for ninja gaiden trilogy

[Cynic667]

would have been nice if the system were noted... golden axe, for example... sounded very much like the C64 SID-Chip, but that's only a guess ;P

[bubblesthenerd]

I was just thinking - 'I don't care what he says at the start, if the Ducktales moon theme isn't top I will cry and shit my pants.' Thank you, sir.

[ericsoconnor]

megaman 3 theme > any other megaman:) but i totally agree with your choice on duck tales for number one that song is amazing

[dmajorhiphopproducer]

wow DUCKTALES!!! Man this game was so underrated but i played the shit out of it as a kid <3333

[nisbahmumtaz909]

I'M WILL BEGIN TO CRY AND SHIT MY PANTS BECAUSE MY TUNE OF CHOICE ISN'T HERE

Just kidding. The games I have in mind are pretty obscure and underrated anyway.

[Itasmoeul]

top gear...

[alunderscoreien5000]

When are you gonna do a PSP/N64/PS1/PS2/DS list?

[kj7409]

never heard the 8bit golden axe theme...pretty fuckin awesome

[fatmandrag001]

how the fuck are you just gonna leave out the Adventures of Rad Gravity title screen music-

watch?v=O2S2_kLodIc

I Shat my pants AND cried you asshole.

[hellsforgames]

@fatmandrag001 Lol,grow up you retard.

[Ese1Pac]

Gotta run Gotta run now! and spryly!

[jluo7193]

lol 69 likes

[rockhead2245]

Sadly, the intro is necessary... I have a top 10 video and constantly get whiny complaints that their favorite isn't on the list. Somehow, the basic concepts of opinion and subjectivity seem to escape many youtube viewers...

[NeverEndingInc]

@theTop10s when is the next episode going to come out?

[DarkShadow753]

Really good list, some unusual ones in there but I thought all of them were very good songs. I was really not expecting #1 but it happens that's one of my favorite songs too.

[mopbrothers]

Number 5 will always be my favorite NES theme ever no matter what.

[monitobeko]

@mopbrothers I totally agree :)

[iToasterman]

@mopbrothers its very nice ^^

[Cam4cha]

@mopbrothers Personally I like the titlesong of Mega Man 2 a bit more, though both are excellent compared to most competition.

[EnokiSkai]

Kind of weird there are no pokemon music, haven't you played the game or maybe you didn't like the music much

[Uberjetsu]

I shat my pants and cried because my favourite song didn't come on. What ye gonna do about it? :P

[kyguy95]

WAAAAAAAHHH (crying) WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, WHERES SUPER MAHAHARIO BROS 1-1, I HATE YOU!!!!! (sniff) (sniff)... I HOPE YOU DIE, NOW WHERES MY TAMPON!?!?!?!? jk im not really like that good list

[ultraAnomalocaris]

pokemon theme



[ultraAnomalocaris]

pokemon and zelda theme

[itsthizzbaby]

I don't know why but I never liked anything about Metroid and I'm all retro. That Golden Axe them is sweet =D.

[Random90sKid]

What happened to the word "opinion"?

[dakatubes]

Theme number 5 belong to the 1st poistion x)

[BlueYoshiGamer]

Seeing the montage of metal gear NES in this video shows how much of a kick ass game it could of been if they just cared about it a little more a fixed a few issues

[iisaaaaa]

okay i didint read the desc. when i watched this for the 1st time.

i was like wtf when zelda them was 2nd!? i was wondering what could be better than that..what a stupid list!? when i heard the familiar theme from dukctales.. i was like "oooh... totally forgot the moon theme"

nice list pal

[wylecoyote65]

the ducktails one brings back memories. when i first got a gamecolor i got three games. tetris ducktails and pokemon red. i still play ducktails today, i wish i could say the same for the other two.

[SkyRifter]

-Blaster Master Area-1; theme.&'z

-Blaster Master Area-5; theme.*

[vulkein]

what the fuck!!!!! you fucking twat!!!! where the hell is tetris!? Im shitting my pants right now because you didn't include tetris! you have no soul and we hate you.

[GradGamer]

Very good list. When it got to number two and I didn't see duck tales, I just thought that you would put like Mario 3 theme, but you picked the right song my friend!

[spenceriguess]

im waiting on that wii list hopefully b4 xmas so i know what to get!

[GameAtHeart]

Right, people are paying close to the Intro. But, the Title should be "My Top 10". Mostly because others are going to wonder why that "Theme" isn't there or should be on the Top.

Most actually put "My" because it's there Opinions. But if this is an Opinion, it should have "My" on it.

[sniffman1]

mega man 2 should have been higher

[taskmaster96]

awesome selection of games

[brainhost]

Holy shit. You and I have like, the same taste.

I was especially surprised to see Sonic the Hedgehog. Of course, that's not too special, but the version you chose is actually my favorite in terms of music as well. Also, wonderboy dragon's trap's song; that song haunted my childhood.

[Iinky94]

that is not the original Nes Metal Gear version :(

[KilleRotom]

When I saw Zelda as number 2 I was thinking "And number one is SMB owerworld, as always" but I never thought it would be duck tales: moon!

[CurryCards]

... Super Mario Bros.? Where are you?

[poochie186]

Yay! Zelda #2!

[saurfan]

wouldnt the mega man 9 and 10 soundtrack also be considered 8-bit?

You forgot this masterpiece -- Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - Bloody Tears

:)
