Current Events > What's a song you associate with a video game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not because its in the game or on the soundtrack, but because its something you happened to be into while playing the game.

Nirvanas Big Cheese came up in my car on my lunch break just now and I was struck with memories of playing Castlevania on Game Boy Advance. I remember an old Korn album Ill always associate with Final Fantasy X.

Mario bros
Doodoo doo dodoo doo do

Not the same thing, but

I always think of the Phantom Train part of FF6 when I listen to Stop This Train by John Mayer. They're both depressing and deal with the realization of death being inevitable. Both most importantly, they both have trains.

Happy Together by The Turtles

Smash Bros

Not a song but whenever I open a safe/vault Batman Arkham Asylum randomly queues up in my brain. Dunno why.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Songs that sample games shouldn't count either lol

all around me are familiar faces

Alkaline Trio - Cooking Wine = Worms Armageddon
Boston - More Than a Feeling = Worms Armageddon

John Mayer - No Such Thing = All Star Baseball 2004

nas - the world is yours

when i played tony hawk underground i would literally disable every other song and just listen to this the whole time and vibe

Several albums by fm attack remind me of when skyrim first dropped and id be enjoying both for days on end

Not any one song in particular. The only time I ever listen to music while gaming is while grinding on MMO's. Otherwise, I just listen to the in-game music. So that's like a 7-8 year span of music that I listened to while leveling up, but that's like 1,000+ songs across multiple genres lol

All American rejects first album.

There's a lot of songs that I only know because of the GTA series of games.

But as far as songs that aren't associated with a game, but make me think of a game is (and it's an odd one) whenever I hear anything by the band Creedence Clearwater Revival, I think of the game "Cool Spot" for Sega Genesis.

I rented it one weekend back in 1994, and spent an entire Saturday playing the game and listening to CCR's greatest hits album. I just kept playing the album on repeat until I finally beat the game.

Why I never changed out the CD for a different one, I have no idea.

Ooooh I played the fuck out of THUG but I associate it with Linkin Park.

That New Radicals song you get what you give and the game Phantasy Star Online.

I dont know why, but it just always comes to mind

The point of this game is to get to a Gwar concert.

I used to listen to one of Shakiras earlier albums while playing OoT. Some of the songs fit really well with the Gerudo desert since she's half Lebanese and some of her songs have that influence.

i associate linkin park, godsmack and korn with runescape and tibia because i spent all of middle school playing f2p mmos and downloading shitty nu metal off of limewire lol

Rhinestone Eyes by Gorillaz reminds me of the Point Lookout DLC in Fallout 3.
