1: Pinball Dreams - Olof Gustafsson (Intro Sequence)
2: Cybernetix - Blair Zuppicich (Main Menu)
3: Agony - Martin Wall & Robert Ling (Ending)

Lots of good game tunes, but definately the ones from Psygnosis games.

I have them all saved somewhere, but hope to find them soon.. :-)

Intruder Alert. So damn good I turned it in to an MP3 which I then burned to CD to listen to in the car.

Press Play on Tape (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kohXduOpvl4) did Cannon Fodder great! :-)

No matter how much you hate me for it... I think the best theme music for a game on the Amiga is... Lemmings 2 ...

Lets go... okay :-D

I have all the Lotus level loading music, intro and end theme on my iPod. I looped the level loading bits to make them a bit longer, because they were just 30 secs originally. Yes, that's geeky and I love it whenever the shuffle play hits one of the Lotus tracks when I'm driving my car :-D

[mikrucio]

@cpfuture

Pure genius man.

Lotus 2 makes me wanna drive me really fast and smash into a tree!!!

[hooligan]

In no order, at least the following comes to my mind:

Super Cars-series
Lost Patrol
Atomino
Super Scramble Simulator
Turrican-series

... and hundreds more :-)

[Skyraker]

Whittakers Xenon II

Silent Hill 1-theme and Metal Gear Solid 3-theme.. no Amigagametune come even close ;-)

[Stevo]

From the top of my head:

1. Turrican 2
2. Lost Patrol
3. Pinball Dreams
4. Flashback
5. The Settlers

...though I could come up of with a top 50 easily :-)

[adonay]

The top 3 of mine ..I mean the whole tracks not just one tune..

1:Settlers "could hear that music for several hours ingame with out going crazy.."

2:yo joe "simply awsome" Really wonder why this game diddent get more credit than it did...

3:Simon the sorcerer "my favorite game, everything seems to be well done in that game"

[tokyoracer]

Wow, never expected 20 replies! Thanks for the posts, certainly some interesting view-points. I have three others I can think off from the top of my head which were also impressive.

* Banshee - Martin Iveson (Menu Music).
* Shadow of the Beast 2 - Tim Wright (Death music).
* Most other games composed by Blair Zuppicich & Olof Gustafsson.

Although I did think the Mega Drive/Genesis version of that Shadow of the Beast 2 death tune was a bit better some-how. Shame it's only 38 seconds long. :-(

[benJamin]

Turrican I & II, Xenon II, Speedball 2, Hired Guns, Lemmings, Settlers, Alien Breed 3D CD32, Skidmarks II, Dr. Mario (by Trash), Lotus I, 2 and III, New Zealand Story, Pinball Dreams, Pinball Illusions...

...I'm sure I can think of more...

"Now, if it were demos... :-o "

[rkauer]

I think all games from psygnosis are beautifull (Cannon Fodder is the best, IMHO). The composer past away a few weeks ago, RIP.:-(

If you want a very good collection of Mods, Total Chaos AGA (avaliable on Aminet) is impressive, too.:-D

And, of course, The Killing Game Show (Psygnosis? I don't remember:getmad:), Walker (intro & gameover), and a pletora of great games.

Oh, and JUMPING JACKSON! Great "stones" song.:-D

[arkpandora]

The Amiga musics I prefer are :

1. Some musics from the game "Rody & Mastico", the best balanced compositions I have heard on the Amiga. I have never identified their composer.

2. Jean Baudlot's soundtracks for "Les Voyageurs du Temps" ("Future Wars" in English) and "Operation Stealth", featuring a fairly unique expressionist approach of music, that suits the module format very well.

3. "Project One" by Karsten Obarski : while most Amiga musics from demos or the 90's tend to cover up the perfectible quality of the 8-bit sounds instead of exploiting it, "Project One" is in my opinion as outstanding today as it seemed insignificant in the Amiga's glorious time.

[Merc]

Hybris is by far my favorite I think. It was one of the earlier games but had really really great music.

2nd place would probably be Stormlord, which was really well done.

[HardStep]

Slam Tilt
Disposable Hero
Roketz

[RRunner]

No-one mentioned Populous II... one of my favs.

[sir_inferno]

Pinball Fantasies
Hero Quest
Hero Quest II
Lotus III
Cannon Fodder
TFX
(Wings)
(Wings of Fury)
(Powerdrive)

[sir_inferno]

oh, and the ending jazz music to beneath a steel sky...i _really_ like that tune lol

[Varthall]

The latest tunes I've liked on my Amiga are the ones from Noiz2sa, Kenta Cho rules :-D

[TheMagicM]
