Does anyone remember the "disco music" cheat code from Warcraft II and the accompanying song?
Pepperidge Farms remember.

I remember renting 007: Nightfire for the GameCube multiple times from the local Family Video when I was a kid. Never made any progress in the campaign mode, but played a ton of the local multiplayer against bots.
I really should see about getting the game someday to try actually playing the campaign. 😆
Anyway, the game had a great intro cinematic in the style of the Bond movies, and a solid theme song to go with it.

Well for a late #vgmwednesday, here’s the main theme from the Feast Layer in #DonkeyKongBananza
-
For this #VGMWednesday, we have the game point theme from the original N64 #MarioTennis…
Wait what? Mario Tennis?
Yeah this sounds like the final boss theme in an RPG. It’s kinda insane, and would make Wimbledon way more interesting lol.

No More Room in Hell was way too good for a free mod turned standalone game. A (mostly) slow zombie apocalypse where not fighting was frequently the best strategy, and the most important resource was not weapons but the space between you and the enemies.
The name is a fitting callback to the works of George Romero. "Mellow" from the OST also has a fitting name: a mournful, atmospheric piano-driven tune.

I'm at a loss for words, which means I am going to use about 900 characters talking about this.
I find the inclusion of original vocal tracks in games to be a novelty, there is so much extra work that goes into it from a production perspective. Due to that, I can totally understand why many games forego it. But it can really elevate the on-screen action. City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2 is my go-to on this. The song itself, forcibly hauls you on a hype train and speed off with you.
Of course, it can also be to a game's detriment. But... my case studies for that are quite limited.
And then you have the WTF. Where it just makes you question things.
Which is where we are with today's #VGMWednesday
So, did you know there was an Animorphs #PS1 game? It's a pretty mediocre, 5/10 experience with some jank, but nothing game ruining.
It also has a vocal track for one of the stages.
I do love that the developer of this game is called Single Trac.

I have little nostalgia for Resident Evil, I didn't get into the series until December 2024, barely two years ago. However, this single track from the original Resident Evil 4 has haunted me ever since I first heard it in-game. I don't recall ever hearing it before, but the music sounds so familiar. The song reminds me of memories I'll probably never get the chance to experience again. I have a hard time listening to this for more than a few minutes because it's that impactful. At least now, I'll continue to make memories, happy ones. Have a great #vgmwednesday everyone!

It's been four and half years since I last played Rocket League, and yet it's still the game I've logged the most hours in on Steam. Those first few years of the game were amazing, between figuring out the game's mechanics and some of the silly game modes they added. (Hockey!)
Sometime after launch, they switched the opening theme to "Breathing Underwater (Ether Remix)" by Hollywood Principle, and it still pops up into my head from time to time.

the boss battle theme in #DevilSummoner #SoulHackers is such a banger, so ominous sounding #VGMWednesday

Damn... I like dropped the ball on the last two weeks of #VGMWednesday ... I can only apologise for that.
So, I make it no secret that one of my favourite games to play on a Games Night with friends is #100PercentOrangeJuice . It's like playing a more vindictive version of Mario Party and the chaos of the game really brings me life.
With an entire buttload of characters, including special variants, who all come with their own musical theme it should come as no surprise that there are some vocal songs in there.
Today, we have 『Ultimate Weapon Girl』the character song for the Cuties, a combo character consisting two of the regular characters, Sham and Sora.
Well, Sham is actually like... First wave DLC. OJ has A LOT of DLC...The best part of this song, is when you trigger it during the game by using the character's hyper card(Special ability), the screen dims, little glowsticks can be seen at the bottom of the screen. It's all super charming.

Okay, how in the world did I just find out that Spyro the Dragon's soundtrack was composed by the drummer from The Police? Stewart Copeland is an absolute legend.
Always loved the whole vibe of the Dark Hollow level, and the music was a big part of that.

For this #vgmwednesday, here are the bonus tracks from the #MarioKart World soundtrack on Nintendo Music, showing how Nintendo recorded them:

I spent a good bit of time with Forza Motorsport 3 on the Xbox 360. Even had the official racing wheel for the 360.
Anyway, the soundtrack for Forza Motorsport 3 might not have the melodic hooks that a lot of classic games have, but there's still some earworms here. Lance Hayes was cooking up something special when he made "Elapsed Time."

boy and i have been playing the original Hyrule Warriors. braindead stupid game, but he likes seeing all the characters from all the other Zelda games we've played together. one thing i didn't realize until just today, however, is that it has one of the best tracks in the entire series.
