Although no one song can be held singularly responsible for my love of game music, this song is probably the closest.
Still holds up as one of the best remixes of Magical Sound Shower ever. Incredibly groovy, incredibly fun and does a bunch of things the original didn't.

Going back to the C64 here. Honestly, the sound design of this tune displayed here is so fucking sick. To get these types of sounds out of the SID is truly magical.
Beyond the technical work, it helps that the tune absolutely rules.

Apparently I haven't posted a game music tune in 5 days, that's pretty terrible.
Let me remedy that with a tune that goes far harder than it has any right to. It's such a random tune, from such a randomly excellent game. Well worth your time.

Continuing on the Psygnosis train today, this is another classic from the catalogue.
Blood Money isn't the best game, but this tune is an unashamed bop. Enjoy

OK, I'm behind a few days.
To make up for it, this may be the jewel in the crown of the Amiga catalogue music wise. Psygnosis absolutely killed it with the vast majority of their soundtracks, but none more than the original Shadow of the Beast.
This is my favourite from it.

Digging into one of the ones I've been saving mainly because I've spent a bunch of today listening to Kendrick (go stream Not Like Us again right now), but this is easily one of the best songs that a game on the Amiga produced.
Raphael Gesqua, take a bow.

Speaking of vastly underrated, drum focused classics, I always think of this tune when I think of the Dune song.
Different era, different feel, but man this tune is so fucking great.
It has such raw energy.

There are more tunes from Jaguar XJ220 worth posting, but I was reminded that this song exists yesterday and I forgot how much I love it.
An absolute vibe, and a drastically underrated classic.

Your video on Dome was fantastic mate. Really well broken down stuff.
This sound is fun.

Another brilliant tune from Jaguar XJ220.
I don't care if it's cheating to post a bunch of tunes from this game, the soundtrack is too fucking good.

There's data out said it made 3 in 10 independents less likely to vote for her in PA.
It was a completely insane idea from the jump. The Cheney's have no active constituency and a metric fuck tonne of people that want them gone, absolute lunacy.

Switching away from the Bitmap Brothers to a game where pretty much every tune is a star.
I can't speak highly enough of this soundtrack, it's phenomenal. I will likely post so much more off it #gamemusic

Good, this is the right attitude.

Another tune from a Bitmap Brothers, this one has such an odd lineage.
Massively cheating since it's mostly just samples of a Bomb the Bass tune being played back, but it's still massively formative for me.
Incredible.

A far more modern song than most things I've put in this series so far, but I've been playing a shit tonne of Brotato of late and the new tunes for Abyssal Terrors fucking rock.
This tune is hella good.

Seemingly all of the Bitmap Brothers games had banger tunes in them.
I have deep memories of this song, also helps that the game is pretty good too.

Bitmap Brothers knew what they were doing when it came to getting great music into their games, and the theme to Chaos Engine is no exception.
Most of this song is 3 samples on repeat, it's fucking genius.

Another incredibly well known piece from the days of the Amiga.
I think versions of this song made it into the various ports that were done, but none are on this level at all.
Game is pretty dogshit though from memory.

I don't have a lot of words about this one.
I hated this game, but the music has always stuck with me. There's a noisy quality to the melody that is so interesting and inventive to me.

Random stage music from a vastly underrated shmup on the Amiga.
I really love how this tune keeps iterating on its simple concept. A bunch of key changes, groove switch ups and subtle instrument changes keep it interesting while being designed to be looped.
Also, the drums try SO hard.

This is 100% not a deep cut and is an example of a C64 song that has been positively rinsed at this point (this has to be one of the most popular songs on RKO I imagine), but the reason for it is because it fucking rules.
Hell, even I'll probably remix it one day.

This is significantly more well known I imagine, and for mine has the best orchestra hit sample in existence in it.
I have very few words that match how much I enjoy that this exists.

I'll start with an extremely random cut from the Amiga. A tune that's easily as quirky and fun as the game it's in.
This has the hard panning L/R that mods of the era are known for, which is deeply hilarious to me in 2024.

She's such a fucking numbskull.
Bernie's worst hire by a factor of a million.
