I’m 99.99% sure it’s Assassin‘s Creed.

I don’t think I found the exact track yet but this one will have to do for @miona‘s #VgmWednesday #MiddleEasternMelodies theme until such time.

My contribution for the #MiddleEasternMelodies theme for #VGMWednesday is stage 2 from Sparkster on Sega Genesis. It fits the bill for the desert/pyramid platformer level perfectly.

Weird fact about me - I recorded this soundtrack on cassette back in the day and on occasion listened to this time while going through Sandopolis in Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Woah, time for #VGMWednesday already! I picked Loom from Bomberman Hero. After a little research I found out it actually was a bonus track on the CD for the soundtrack and doesn't actually appear in the game at all!

As a "trying to expand my horizons" DJ who focuses on VGM pretty glad #vgmwednesday is a thing. I hope it continues next week! I never really considered #middleeasternmelodies as a setlist idea, but thanks everyone for the great listens!

Here's my contribution. A very interesting dubstep/EDM infusion from Hideyuki Fukasawa

A bit late to the party, but I make up for it with something powerful. Since the theme of #VGMWednesday is #MiddleEasternMelodies the soundtrack to "Shantae: Half-Genie Hero" popped directly into my mind. The Scuttle Town theme especially. It's a great game with some incredibly catchy tunes.

Late entrant to #VGMWednesday, as hosted by @miona. This was a more difficult one for me, the theme #MiddleEasternMelodies is fairly specific, and some of the more immediate ones to me were ones people already mentioned!
As such I'd like to submit Oil Ocean Zone from Sonic Mania, specifically Act 2 which I think leans more heavily into this thematic instrumentation and also makes a lot of references in the map to Sandopolis (which would have been my first choice tbh).
Apparently a lot of people don't like Oil Ocean zone but I've always enjoyed the theme and the colour scheme, plus now in Mania you can set the sea on fire and get to go in a big submarine. Exciting!

It's #VGMWednesday, the theme is #MiddleEasternMelodies, and my pick is Sand Hill from Sonic Adventure, a slick combination of Middle East-inspired instrumentation and swing. :D

Hello, people! The theme is #MiddleEasternMelodies and the first thing it sparked in my mind is the desert of Diablo 2 Act II.

A middle-eastern-ish ambiance that keeps you alert during your "pilgrimage" to the Tal Rasha's Chambers, fighting your way through giant insects and other critters.

So the theme for #vgmwednesday today is #middleeasternmelodies? Well, since Super Mario Land’s ruins theme was posted, I may as well share the awesome desert themes from the Mario & Luigi series.

Teehee Valley is a classic:

The theme for this week's #VGMWednesday is #MiddleEasternMelodies

I never owned a Nintendo 64 but some of my fondest gaming memories were playing Super Mario 64 in my neighbor's basement on summer days. Shifting Sand Land sticks out as a level we spent a lot of time in.
