I was completely serious before when I said YU-NO has some of the best music we’ll see in this thread, and I’ll be sad to see it miss the cut after just one round. The game itself is a top-notch visual novel from an era when that meant “text-heavy point-and-click adventure,” and even though it has some odd quirks that I feel don’t hold up well 22 years after the game’s initial release, I’d still gladly play it again today.
Donkey Kong Country’s jungle theme needs no introduction and is an easy in for me. My only question: why not Aquatic Ambience?
Gusty Garden from Mario Galaxy got tabbed, but that was it. Similarly no classic Metroid songs, though I nominated a Metroid Prime one. It seems more focus was put on more modern entries, with the exception of oddball people who put Amiga music on there. I really don’t know what those people were thinking ;)
The other thing is that this is a competition, rather than just favorites. It feels like a dick move to comment on somebody’s “favorite”, but here, almost everything is going to lose, so it’s okay to discuss and have differing opinions.
I would put it up myself, but this is @Thraeg’s baby. However if he is ok with it, in the future, I can also put up groups at the appropriate time. I mean it’s gonna take two months already, don’t want to add too many days ;)
Yeah, that was my thought. People often travel or have all-day activities on the weekends, but weekdays are a bit more predictable to do something at the same time every day.
