Personal Top 200 Vgm List
Almost two years ago I started a thread on here that somewhat detailed a project I just finished. At first it was a top 50 list, then a top 100, but I ended up finishing a top 200 list of my favorite video game soundtracks. Despite the headaches and busyness of the project, I dedicated two years during my free time to research and listen to as many different soundtracks as I could from all sorts of places (I went through hundreds upon hundreds of vgm soundtracks in a short amount of time and probably listened to around 2,000). I learned a lot of the history and saw how a lot of games and companies intertwine. On the Tumblr I posted in the above link, I recently posted the full 200 list, and seeing as though I don't have many followers there, I thought this would be an even better place to share it for anyone here who is interested.
I live in the West, so this may be a strange list, and it's a personal one. There are samples for each game included also (I put links after every 50 games in this post). As expected, it was a pain listening to so much music, constantly changing to find the right order and especially finding what song to choose to represent each game. I hope you all enjoy this. I don't have enough time to research this as freely anymore, so for now on I'll only be looking into new games and new releases. There is still going to be a lot missing since I can't listen to everything that's ever been made, and there is a lot that people would like to see but isn't on this list because I personally didn't rank it high enough. I tried to be as comprehensible as I could be: #200: Ecco the Dolphin [Sega CD] #199: Tetris Attack (Panel de Pon) [Super Famicom] #198: Super Formation Soccer [Super Famicom] #197: Kiki Kaikai: Tsukiyozoushi [Super Famicom] #196: Kirby 64 [Nintendo 64] #195: Silent Hill 2 [Sony PlayStation 2] #194: Growlanser [Sony PlayStation] #193: FEDA: Emblem of Justice [Super Famicom] #192: Atelier Iris: Grand Fantasm [Sony PlayStation 2] #191: Cotton 100% [Super Famicom] #190: Atelier Ayesha: Alchemist of the Ground of Dusk [Sony PlayStation 3] #189: Kirby Triple Deluxe [Nintendo 3DS] #188: Final Fight [Arcade] #187: Pokemon Black [Nintendo DS] #186: Snowboard Kids 2 [Nintendo 64] #185: Battle Zeque-Den [Super Famicom] #184: Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemist of Dusk Sky [Sony PlayStation 3] #183: Bravely Default [Nintendo 3DS] #182: Sparkster [Super Famicom] #181: Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy [Sony PlayStation 2] #180: Evergrace [Sony PlayStation 2] #179: Eternal Flame [PC] #178: Cotton 2 [Arcade] #177: Super Double Dragon [Super Famicom] #176: Espgaluda [Arcade] #175: Alcahest [Super Famicom] #174: Brave Fencer Musashi [Sony PlayStation] #173: Syvalion [Arcade] #172: Digimon World [Sony PlayStation] #171: The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask [Nintendo 64] #170: Turrican [Amiga] #169: Lunar the Silver Star [Sega CD] #168: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time [Nintendo 64] #167: Cybernator [Super Famicom] #166: Midnight Resistance [Sega Mega Drive] #165: Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished The Final Chapter [NEC PC-88] #164: Bare Knuckle 2 (Streets of Rage) [Sega Mega Drive/NEC PC-88 Sound] #163: Ys II Special [DOS] #162: Mr. Nutz [Super Famicom] #161: Tenshi no Uta [Super Famicom] #160: Dyna Brothers 2 [Sega Mega Drive] #159: Shadow Hearts 2 [Sony PlayStation 2] #158: Cotton Original [Sony PlayStation] #157: Traverse: Starlight & Prairie [Super Famicom] #156: Kaite Tukutte Asoberu Dezaemon [Super Famicom] #155: Kiki Kaikai: Nazo no Kuro Manto [Super Famicom] #154: Farland Story 2 [Super Famicom] #153: Twinbee Yahho!
