Amiga Game Theme Tunes...
« on: January 05, 2011, 07:45:55 PM »
I've always thought it a bit odd that on Amiga forums there is no real way for folks to post or listen to their favorite Amiga mods/tunes, not sure if it too complicated to implement or something to do with copyright... :(

Anyway the only way I can find is by uploading them yourself to YouTube then posting them here. So here are a couple of my all time favorite Amiga game theme tunes... :)

Anyone got their own personal faves or other Amiga game theme tunes they'd like to listen to here... :)

(NOTE: I've cut down the FPS on the vids to make them smaller for uploading...)

Alien Breed Theme Tune by Alister Brimble...

(there must be an easier way than this... :))

the alien breed one is one of my favourites. I have it on my mp3 player and often listen to it while on my way to work.

Hired Guns and pretty much all of the Turrican games were awesome too

Huelsbeck's title music for R-Type:

The game's original soundtrack is magnificent, but it didn't have a title song - this fits the bill almost as perfectly as his tune for the C64 version.

Been sitting here going through tons of Amiga games (liked this old one) but came to the conclusion that the best game theme tunes were in actual fact the old C64 ones... :)
