GodDAMN I want to play that right now!
So I'm sitting here in my office listening to random songs off of my computer when a track from Secret of Mana pops up (Angel's Fear to be precise). It instantly makes me want to ditch work, go home, fire up my SNES, and start a new game of SoM.
I imagine most of us here have some sort of VGM collection, but there are certain tracks that no matter when, where, or how many times I hear it, I always want to start playing that game immediately. Other games that come to mind for me are Actraiser (especially the town music), Illusion of Gaia, and Dr. Mario. What games out there have music that drives you to replay the game for the hundredth time? |
Ace Combat Zero. Every goddamned time I hear that flamenco guitar or even something that sounds like flamenco guitar I have to pop in that game and play a mission or ten.

I've loaded my PSP with a lot of video game music, but if I'm getting close to home and either Faith (Chapter 3) or Butsutekkai - Boss 01 plays then I just have to play Ikaruga as soon as I get home.

They may be stereotypical choices, but listening to pretty much anything from the FF VI and FF IX soundtracks spurs an urge to start them up again. "Something to Protect" and "Burmecian Kingdom" have been the worst offenders lately when they pop up.
"Together We Ride" from Fire Emblem 7 (and several others) always puts me in the mood to pop in a Fire Emblem game. Not any specific Fire Emblem, but I could listen to that on loop forever.

There are a bunch.
Let's start with this one:
I think this one more than any other does:
Also this

Guess I should throw in the particular tracks that make me have to play those games.
I remember burning the Actraiser Symphonic CD just so I could throw this in the CD player in my car and listen to this on long car rides.
Pretty much the best opening theme. Ever.
I couldn't choose just one, so this should do.
|
|||||||||||
Enemy Health: 0%, Enemy Damage: 100%, Enemy Accuracy: 100%, Enemy Reaction Time: 100%.
Also, the music from Myst--though that's more wishing I could replay it, since it's not much fun to wade through puzzles when you already know the answers. It makes me play other adventure games instead. EDIT: Just thinking about this tune made me turn on Super Castlevania IV.

Hearing this track always makes me pause. The flute opening gives me chills.
And the violin in this one does the same thing.
An alternate version of the previous one, with more of a rhythm to it

2 games stand out right now:
Chaos Legion and Legend of Legaia: Duel Saga.
|

I know music games shouldn't count, but I've been in love with this song as of lately and everytime I listen to it, I wanna grab my PSP and just start playing some DJMAX.
J-E-N-O-V-A falls into here also. I made a stepfile of this song a while back and everytime I play it, it nudges at me that I still actually have to beat this game. x__x |

Can't forget
And, ANY version of this song makes me want to play through a few of the games:

MMOs hit me hard on this front. Music is a big part of the MMO experience for me, and (aside from lore) if a game has a good soundtrack I'm much more likely to stick with it.
I don't even particularly like Aion that much, but every time I hear this one I have the urge to get back in the game just to catch a glimmer of the wonder I had when I entered a small farming town next to an open field of purple-leaved trees and orange bushes.
Tom Bombadil's House is so fitting (as so much of the soundtrack is):
A couple of more obvious mentions for me: Spoiler:

Ah, and quite related to the Actraiser theme:
I often find myself listening to this tune in my head. |
|||||||||
Same for ActRaiser music but props for Terminus for having played Legaia: Dual Saga, I didn't think anyone else had played that game.
Phantasy Star III:
And then of course, Phantasy Star IV. Spoiler:
And finally, fucking Dragon Quest nes series. God. I can just live with this compilation. I give you III since its my favorite of the 4 on nes. Spoiler:
I don't even replay games anymore but these always make the exception! :D |

Oh wait, I also forgot WEWY. Music fit the atmosphere (plus the game's pretty fun to boot).

Well, I have started singing some of the jazz tunes from Fallout 3. I have also gotten really into the music of Final Fantasy 7 and 8. I own the soundtracks for both of them. I have also heard some great songs from MMOs that I have played.
|
So many, but this one stands out right now.
When I've heard this over the last few weeks, I've wanted to fire up the SNES. |

I've played this game since i was 3. I used to get to this level, then sit back and chill for the ten minutes it took Sonic to die. Then keep playing. Maybe. The rest of the soundtrack for the game was great, too. |

Here's some annoying and commonplace but memorable tracks that immediately remind me of the games they're from.
|

when I listen to turbo toons soundtrack i immiditealy wants to play turbo toons
It´s the same with otherword and FF 10 :) You know good N64 soundtracks ? |
Definintely one of the few boss themes that make me want to replay the boss battle just to listen to the track again.
YouTube - God Hand - Elvis Theme. |
ITS TIME FOR REVENGE. LETS ATTACK AGGRESSIVELY.
Before Lucasarts started just tracking in music from their movie properties, they use to have some really great MIDI music for their games.
Deni already mentioned FFT - but he picked the incorrect track. Here, I link to the best damned random battle music ever made.
I played the PSX Armored Core games day and night, once or twice ditching school to sit in front of the TV to fiddle with my AC's stats. (I still have the one I made for Project Phantasma on a memory card. I miss those days.)
And yes, it had to be mentioned... |

I only noticed it now, but does anyone know why it wont show a proper youtube video preview for me? it works in firefox, but in IE it just shows the link with the message: Get the Flash Player to play this youtube video file. Works fine on other sites. =( |

Well, I actually just started Final Fantasy 7 over from the beginning. I was listening to the soundtrack to the game that I managed to find on Amazon and got really excited about playing it. I mean, even the opening theme is good. But I get really excited about Sephiroth's theme and Aeris' theme as well.

You can thank the music in this video for your computer having a soundcard. Before Wing Commander, there was no General MIDI process and soundcards were for people who had nothing to do with their money aside from buying the most pointless add-ons to their PCs, like the vocader that made your computer speak in the movie Wargames. Team Fat changed that with their music to WC. Suddenly, your PC games NEEDED sound. And the MIDI samples still sound great today, atesting to the hard effort they put into the job. |

Oh jeeze this thread is not healthy for me right now. That Myst track gave me the shivers. And damn, i'm playing Mario RPG right now and i still wanna restart just so i can play the forest again.
Me and the other Castlevania 64 fan find this one particularly effective.
This song is in the background of my mind every time i walk down an empty hallway.

Whenever I hear this song I have an urge to play silent hill 2 or any one of the three first silent hill games.
One of the best boss battles theme ever:
Or this music from same game:
And yes I'm one of those who really like FFVIII. Fragment of memories is the kind of music that when I hit that moment in the game, I wander in that town and really take my time to finish this part, just because this song is playing in a loop.
My favorite "Tales of" games. First time I played and finish the game, I was playing co-op with a friend and I was using Farah. I really like this character and her theme song is pretty great.
Dearly Beloved, so beautiful, I could burst into tears right now, especially the KH2 version ; ;
On another note, I still haven't played Nier and despite the reviews, this game really interest me and even more since his soundtrack is one of the best I have heard lately!
This one make me want to play both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus back to back. XD
And finally my best video game of all time, Valkyrie Profile. Damn this game really goes and touches a sensible string in me every time I play. |

You've also reminded me that I need to track down a torrent for Ico's soundtrack. I've been meaning to do that ever since hearing "You Were There" in one of the GFF song competitions. |
