@twostraws kingdoms of Amalur criminaly underrated game soundtrack.
@twostraws Assassin’s Creed 2 had one of the best sou tracks IMHO. https://youtu.be/X9geXVAOFDg
Journey is amazing as well https://youtu.be/hdG-e_Joc8Q
FF7 Remake: https://youtu.be/wUsz33oPFjM
@twostraws no links from me, but: Sim City 2000, Final Fantasy VII, Kingdom Hearts, and Pokemon Crystal.
Of course it’s wayyyy over the nerdy deep end.
@twostraws neither are 15 years old…but both are FANTASTIC. I tend to code a lot to each of these:

@twostraws Among my favorites (ALL > 15 years old 😄):
Final Fantasy VIII (that's 8, not 7. also anything composed by Nobuo Uematsu will be great): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l8szd2J3qmAUvscgOZOgyE9uV9gkxdw3w

@twostraws It’s a shame the game isn’t good, because the Last Battle (1989) soundtrack deserved to be more widely known.
@twostraws Most of Chris Huelsbeck's work should qualify, including the Giana Sisters soundtrack.
Here's a symphonic version;

@twostraws I still love the Metroid Prime Soundtrack. Very calming, ideal for playing in the background while coding 👍

@twostraws Privateer.
Epic game, great soundtrack
@twostraws Right!? Such a neat story. Galaxy On Fire 2 HD for iPad/iPhone is the best/closest thing I’ve found to it in modern times.

Once “Magical sound shower” from Outrun gets going it’s a banger as the kids say

Megaman X 2 is good as well.

And let's not forget the third opus in the series

Enjoy!
@twostraws Everything you need right here. There’s a Mac player in use all the time too. :)
However I still fall back on an old @cabel recommendation when I am building something special: the SimCity soundtrack by Chris Tilton:
https://music.apple.com/us/album/simcity-ea-games-soundtrack/1491082981
Many builder games have awesome low stakes music that are great for creative thinking. They are designed to be used while building, so it makes perfect sense!
Some others:
Planet Coaster

@twostraws mechwarrior 2
@twostraws Star Control 2! Especially Shipyard and Hyperspace. It’s wonderfully diverse.
It’s 30 years old - do the bonus points scale linearly or geometrically? 😬

Call of #Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet has an excellent #FMsynth horror soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_uGjSYlD5s&list=PLTNxZTnKAj10p-6g1t2NoDBXm6Z0y_qqx
Silent Hill 2 by Yamaoka Akira: https://youtu.be/QFvt2cNSOaM
The Last Ninja by Ben Daglish: https://youtu.be/dZx-SlhZ-oo
(I think I should get extra bonus points since The Last Ninja came out 36 years ago)
No bonus points for Dark Souls (by Sakuraba Motoi) since it’s from 2011…
