Default Old Video Game Music Give You Nostalgia?

For those of you that grew up on Super Mario, Sonic 1 2 & 3, Bomberman, Spyro The Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider (when she was nothing but like 8 polygons), etc. Does it not take you back to a time where what people thought of you was the least of your worries, and the only thing bothering you at the time were your cheeks hurting after blowing the dust out of your SEGA Genesis cartridge for 3 minutes straight and begging to see those white words on the black screen letting you know that your work was a success?

I dunno, maybe it's just me.

The Final Fantasy 7 & 8 intro music is pretty nostalgic for me. The music from Sonic too.

Heh, me too. I used to listen to music constantly whilst playing MMORPGs... so now random songs bring back memories of DAoC, World of Warcraft, etc. It's kind of odd lol.

Each time i hear super metroid music i feel like starting the emulator and do a run through the game again.

Most game music has that effect on me.

same here, not with Metroid but with games in general. If I hear music from a game for an older console, I tend to boot up an emulator on the Wii or PC

I loved Crash and Spyro games, I feel the nostalgia when I play them again, but I also feel lonely. During those times that was all I did on the weekends.
Still, nothing beats the awe I first felt when I played Spyro <3

FF7, Zelda, Resident Evil, Breath of Fire III, and Harvest Moon. I would either wake up at 4 AM to play HM and Ocarina of Time before school, or I'd just skip school to play them. Good times and great soundtracks for all.

Yea, mostly old arcade games from the 80's. Donkey Kong, Galaga, etc.

Also Zelda and Mario from NES.

I listen to FF music, piano collections mostly, nes music, mostly from games i like, such as mega man and mario. My goal would be to learn how to play "To Zanarkand", it sounds so serene.
