Good game music you like
Music from
- Hero of The Might and Magic III and other series are some of the best and matching music. Could get inspiration from the music
Master of Monster is great for an old game @@
Master of Magic ain't bad too. midi
There's an old Japanese SEGA Strategy game... with monster and races too.... I try to get the screenshot if I can... really the best music theme for every fraction.

The best game music is definitely Total Annihilation.

Well, I've listened to a bunch of that music, but Fish Fillets' is still the best, in my opinion. "The march unto Death" is pretty good though, but it still isn't very ominous despite the title. Odyssey: the Legend of Nemesis has pretty good music too.Lindir The Green wrote:The best game music is definitely Total Annihilation.
I blame my own inability to make such great music on my lack of high-quality instrumentation. >_<

Some of the best music in video game history was composed by a guy who calls himself "BunBun." He worked for Capcom when the original Mega Man series was being produced for the 8-bit Nintendo. The structures and progressions are just incredible (Do you know what I mean? The sort of composition where the instruments/production style are near irrelevant, because of the distinctiveness of the melody?). Around the same time period, another composer, known in credits as "Mrs. Tarumi" wrote some incredible songs for the original "Strider" game.
Also, does anyone remember the old "Gauntlet" game (the first one)? The theme song is a favorite of mine. The structure isn't too uncommon; the relative equivalent of Am, Dm, G, E7, Am, Dm, G, Am, etc., but the melody touches on the 9ths of the first two chords in a really cool, medievalish sort of way. Top tier song.
I can't remember offhand who composed the original Double Dragon theme, but that's another really solid, really distinct song.

Yeah, the wrong path --- the path that involves me not paying tons of money for a *good* music program.Doc Paterson wrote:You walk the wrong path, my son.Elvish Pillager wrote:

I find that even great melodies sound bad when played on junky instruments.

Well, usually people that pay "tons of money" for a program is because they need it for the job they do.Elvish Pillager wrote:Yeah, the wrong path --- the path that involves me not paying tons of money for a *good* music program.Doc Paterson wrote: You walk the wrong path, my son.

And i also think a greatly done melody sounds always good, even with bad instrumentation. And bad melodies sounds like crap even with the best instrumentation!

Well, I can play stuff that sounds great on my piano, and then if I enter it into Melody Assistant and use the piano instrument, it sounds terrible.Aleksi wrote:And i also think a greatly done melody sounds always good, even with bad instrumentation.

Also, I have identified a number of instruments which I call "decent" in Melody Assistant. All the others are junk and hardly ever sound any good no matter what I play on them.

Hmm. Does your mind somehow stop at that surface level and neglect the tonal movements completely? Or are you just saying that a "junky" instrument is too distracting, and makes it too difficult for you to really think about the structure itself?Elvish Pillager wrote:

About this piano music; I'd like to hear it if possible.
