Just listen to this. You very very rarely hear original game music as beautiful as that today. In Mario Kart DS I noticed the new music was shit compared to the retro ones too.
The catchy tunes are what I REALLY miss about old gaming. I think all composers should be forced to make their tunes on a Commodore 64 or a NES then remix them.I don't understand why modern music isn't so memorable.
Rahul said:Try thinking more laterally: game graphics have in fact not gotten better, and neither has the music. In fact, the overall game industry has stagnated in the past 5 years. Nothing conceivably interesting has happened -- people have just put out some more games. Consider that the largest innovation was Katamari Damacy and you pretty much have a summary of this generation as opposed to the last.

With music, usually simpler is better. That's why rock focuses on those same 3 chords.

I wish I could find that site that let you listen to a longer sample. :-(

Agreed on Katamari Damacy though.
Rocked said:Game graphics have got better, so why hasn't the music?

Kameo soundtrack is one of the best i've heard in years.

The bootup jingle alone could be considered a masterpiece. Hope Rare include it in every game they release
