Hotline Miami wow the soundtrack for this game is amazing probobly the top soundtrack on my list for all time. extra points for it being from a indie game. the tracks mesh extremly well with the game play of each level just the brutal fast and unforgiving gameplay its all just magnicifant.

Second place goes to the nier automata's ost that could have been a full stand alone album and probobly have still have been a chart topper. huge dynamic clascial and energetic, fast and slow, brutal and compassionate, hoaly moley this soundtrack tells a story all on its own and really shines when coupled with the games dynamic game play.

Third is Kromaia I dident think it was possable to have a grand synth space orcastra but this game managed it. synthy atmospheric goodness that projects a crazy sense of scale in a 3d bullet hell world.

Last but certently not least Transistor. the vocals are haunting, engaging, intimate, and sincere all at the same time. once again another soundtrack that probobly could have done great all on its onwn but paired with a amazing game really shines.

Honerable mentions to katana zero and celeste for amazing soundtracts.

Oh, wow!

This came as a surprise!
Unfortunately, I'm not able to get to London so quickly!

So I respectfully decline the prize and make room for the next one in line :-)

This is my situation as well, so I have to pass mine on too. Hopefully the prize goes to a good home!

Wouldnt be able have flown there anyway, so here is my suggested soundtrack in case GOG would like to find it. Which I hope they do.

Quest for Glory 5
Originally had a CD soundtrack. Favorite piece was the Dryads Song. The full orchestral soundtrack is very pretty.

Smollest, could you look it up in the game archives for us please? It really is a nice gem of music.

§pec†re: I don't like it when they stick game music in orchestras. They should all be forced to play music from the horrible early days where it was little more than bleeps and bloops and have people sit there and listen to it for 4 hours.

Whatever next, creative orchestral interpretations of indigestion? An operatic treatment of old ladies bickering in a tearoom?
The muffled reees of downreppers complete with mimes on stage?

Darvond: About those bleeps and bloops.

As for a composer, I pick the fine selection of Hiroki Kikuta's works on the Mana Series. The year is 1993. The SNES is entering into a golden age. And here's something that sounds practically like a CD before any extension chips.
- is that youtube video really on the NES? Awewsome!

And of course thanks for getting me back into my noise music fetish :)

No, that's on the C64, which predates the Famicom. As for my personal choice, that's on the SNES. Also check out PLOK, DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Man, I wish I could go from the United States. I do not have a passport book or could even get one by the weekend [.. it is a lengthy application process, I looked], let alone book a round-trip flight and lodging. So I will have to decline. Just a the sound tracks to the game(s) would be nice [to look into].
