Music is what makes so many games memorable in so many ways. I would be hard to just pick one. But I think i know which one put a memory in me that would influence my whole life later on.

Maybe a bit unorthodox to do this route but Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 is probably the most memorable because of one song in particular. I, being around ten at the time, called it the 'choo choo train song'

That song would turn on to be 'you' by punk rock legends Bad Religion. I don't think I ever bothered to look at the names of the bands or songs from the game though.

I would stumble onto their music about five years later from a DVD on the 'rock against bush' compilation album. The music video for their fairly well known song 'sorrow' was featured. Fell in love with that song.
Then I would later hop on the old Limewire and type in bad religion to find more of their songs. and of course, a popular tune that was downloaded often was 'you'

I chuckled and was like 'the choo choo train song from tony hawk!!'

Bad religion would become my all time favorite band as time went on. Loved them before I knew I loved them.

But licensed music, kinda cop out right? wellllllllll...

I picked up the guitar around that time and found a style i Loved. Played in punk bands ever since, but for a bit of fun I'll learn stuff like Dr. Wily's castle 1 from Megaman 2. Still more fighting from FF7. Or enclosure from Metal Gear Solid. Most recent was Pollyanna from the Mother series.

I can say that playing the music you love is much more enthralling than just listening to it. I'm even trying to compose my own game music these days. And I think I owe that to the 'choo choo train song' from tony hawk in some small way.

Uhhh something about a co-op game in the contest rules? Last one I did was divinity original sin 2. pretty great. not sure for a party though?

Quite a few video music soundtracks come to mind for me (eg TES Morrowind, Crysis, No One Lives Forever).

I’d like to highlight Morrowind’s main theme here, due to the way it ‘grows with your character’. I’m sure many have found its main theme memorable, as we are first introduced to it as a nobody on firing up the game. At this early point in character progression giving an air of hope, gentle aspiration, and potential as yet to be discovered…

What is really fun is how the same simple main theme starts to achieve a different meaning, as you struggle and progress in becoming a bit of a badass. As a maxed out character able to deal spell and sword hurt on demand, the theme still works in its variations in accompanying your late game adventures, but at this late point (eg. in striding through the heart of the Imperial City) evoking an affirmation of how far you have come in this second life, as you explore the thoroughfares of this ‘New York’ of Morrowind for the first time…

In summary, an inspired simple theme here - with evocative variations evolving in step with character progression in this RPG!

I suppose I'd go for the original Zelda. It is the most memorable song I can remember, and I still whistle it every now and then...

My favorite soundtrack is from Command & Conquer. Hearing Act on Instinct again takes me back to the nineties! And the game is still awesome. I miss RTS like C&C!

I love a ton of video game soundtracks, but at the moment this is my most favourite one. It is from Heroes of Might Magic III, which is also one of my most favourite games.

I see "vinyl" and twitch in excitement.

Most memorable soundtrack now gotta be from MAFIA III. Game itself aside, the songs are great. So great, in fact, that I actually own the vinyls from Collector's Edition. "Cassandra "The Voodoo Queen"" one is a little more favorite of the two, with "11th Hour Blues" (side A) being the best. From the second vinyl, "Tramp" by Otis Redding & Carla Thomas (side A) always gets me going.

A lot of games have great soundtracks to be honest. There was a time when The Witcher 1, 2 and later 3 soundtracks were so awesome, that me and my friend could not decide witch tracks specifically we liked the best. Would end up high on the roofs of abandoned building listening through and discussing game music.

The original Doom. It really brought a scary and hectic feeling to the game when I played it for the first times in the 90's.

Diablo OST, specifically the Tristram theme. The original and then the remake in the second installment.

Oh, those guitars and the flutes!

Diablo was one of the first games I ever played and the time spent in it was immense.
Sometimes I'd just stay in the village to listen to this gentle music, soothing my soul and letting me forget all the troubles.

And when the second one came out and I got to the desolated Tristram with its unique twist of the same melody... Oh, the feels, the feels...

Matt Uelmen's works are extraordinary in general. Diablos, Torchlight...

Mad Max

I will never forget it and it always remembered me some balance between peace and madness.

Diablo II

The music in this game is nothing like in any other game (especially if you look into the 1st Act of the game). The choice of unusual, medieval-like instruments creates a perfectly fitting for the world of Diablo games series dark tone and atmosphere, that completely overwhelms player and makes him/her dive into chaos and horror dwelling in them. As a kid I never really noticed that while playing the game, but as a young adult, years after last time playing Diablo II, I can truly appreciate and enjoy the beauty of this piece of art.

Atlantis: The Lost Tales

What strikes me most about this score are its sparse orchestrations – and the immense effect the composers derive from such a limited number of ingredients. Compositions like “Awakening” and “Dream of the Dolphin” carry their substantial running times with nothing but a single woodwind instrument performing sparse melodies, backed by whispered hints of synth pads and various struck metal percussion, ranging from chimes to gamelans. Just fabulous!
And it brings so many memories as well. It was the second game I had ever played. With HOMM III being the first.

To me, the soundtrack to Jade Empire will always have a special place in my heart. When i hear it, it still gives me goosebumps

Red Alert 2 - Hell March 2. It fits the game setting perfectly.

Ripper. A 1996 masterpiece with a cast of digitalized professional actors worthy of a true big-budget film, the caliber of Christopher Walken, Karen Allen, Burgess Meredith (who died the following year), Ossie Davis, David Patrick Kelly, Tahnee Welch, John Rhys-Davies, Paul Giamatti.
The soundtrack is a song by Blue Öyster Cult, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," probably their best-known track from their 1976 gold album Agents of Fortune, and even the choice of a hit song but with twenty years on its back, rather than the writing of a new one, indicates the intention of the game's creators, Take-Two Interactive, to offer the players a product that is carefully crafted and not improvised.
A great game and a great soundtrack, a milestone in the world of video games.
And I would gladly replay it if GOG would re-release it....

Dragon age origins.

its very relaxing and times intense. It hits perfectly for every scenario for me
