The Videogame Soundtrack thread

Recommended Posts

There a lot of really memorable soundtracks out there from old and new videogames. Put them here.

I'll start.

This is probably from my favourite game ever, no contest. The original Operation Flashpoint (Cold War Crisis) was a life changing and horrifying experience for its time: It was the first videogame to depict real time combat on a tactical and grand strategic scale in full 3D with players able to participate over the internet to shape the face of the virtual geo-political globe. It had an entirely fictional conflict, entirely fictional story and characters, but it felt so real. It was believable and at the time represented the cutting edge in videogame innovation, technology and development. Cold War Crisis was a giant leap forward for simulation combat and several militaries from around the world picked it up to manufacture training tools for their troops. It was "as close to real war as you would want to get." It was the game that made Codemasters big on the international market and opened the door for the ArmA series, which now dominates combat simulation.

While my copy of the game no longer functions, a couple of tracks have stuck with me. Here are a few of those.

Played the Delta Force series. I loved Landwarrior, but really, Novalogic was behind on the times with painted textures of weapons instead of 3D models. It did great for the frames though. I really liked F22 Lightning 3 as well, not much music to that game though (the game missions sent you through the most enemy infested areas for your waypoints).
