Video game samples in music

@treefroggy#18024 I actually had the SECOND game in this series for my TG16 when I was a youngster and loved it - was never a huge fan of the game that this sample comes from. Although from what I‘ve seen, critically it’s held in a higher regard. Amaaaazing sample all around tho.

@treefroggy#18024 No rules, just post whatever is good! (or so bad its good)

Soundcloud is totally fair game, here's one of my favorites, a rare Animal Crossing x Dark Souls II track:

thundercat uses the sonic ring and I think one-up sounds nicely in this song

@devilsblush#18069 nice!

this is the Thundercat/Kenny Loggins/Sonic collab I didn’t know I needed right now!

I just came across this playlist

@kory#18056 Never heard this one, great mashup. Yes the K.K. Slider soundfont is put to great use. I find this thread somewhat overwhelming because I have so many weird little tracks I could share.

such as this rare beat by an old friend that really goes in on the animal crossing gamecube track when you catch or dig something up

@bankbank#18032 This is somewhat ironic and a bit shameful, but I didn‘t play Legendary Axe until I got a PC Engine flashcart in 2017, and I immediately recognized the song from your video. That is what gave me the motivation to play the game a bunch more. Honestly quite surprised to hear you haven’t played it much, but understandable and permissable given that you played Legendary Axe II as a kid. How weird!

@treefroggy#18024 As long as we're opening up the soundcloud floodgates I figured I would share a couple random highlights I found in my likes!

the rapper Vakill sampled Chrono Trigger‘s Guardia Forest into one of the best rap songs I’ve heard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxOUTxrkgtY

actually, he just rapped over it. The producer is one of the Molemen (Memo, Panik, or PNS)

and surprised it hasnt been posted yet, but Del the Funky Homosapien sampled the continue screen from Darkstalkers for the song Proto Culture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZJQFXvgQ_s

everyone knows this song, right???

@p3ters#18181 I've known people who recognize this song from Chrono Trigger as the beat from Heavy.

@kory#18155 incidentally, I follow most of those

I guess part of why this topic and opening soundcloud floodgates is overwhelming is because it's hard for me to find even one song that doesn't include at least one vg sample.

Not a sample but the fact that LONE straight up made a cover from a Tunder Force IV song in one of his albums blows my mind to absolute bits.

Also, sorry for the shameless self promo but this track here is like 47% made outta Bomberman Hero samples

probably the best episode of mass appeal‘s rhythm roulette:

https://youtu.be/rSfUiKUo6m4

typically producers have to pick records at random . . . here we pickin n64 cartridges

oh no got the most goblinized studio setup as well . . . goals

unfortunately he critically missed on the games he picked (not spoilin what they are tho . . . you’ll feel me if you watch it lmao)

@“dicegame”#p54902 amazed he could do anything with ||the NASCAR game||. Also, why no love for ||Karate Champ||?
