Music / Videogames associations

When I was younger I would always get cds and videogames
around Christmas or my birthday. Since I didn't really have
a source of income this when pretty much the only time I got
them. So, I'd mainly be playing one game and listening to
one cd over and over for a while. I came to associate the
music with the game and the game with the music. The
association can last years. Only recently does OK Computer
not remind me of Star Fox and vice versa.

Well, since I've been working for a while it doesn't seem to
happen as much. I buy games more frequently and listen to
about 5 cds a day on average.

One game/cd that did just happen to, well, happen was Bola's
Soup and Metroid Prime on Gamecube. No game has ever went so
perfectly with music and vice versa. Although I do think the
cd and the game stand greatly on their own and the metroid
prime soundtrack is pretty great as well. So yeah, I still
associate these two together, but it's almost as if they
should be.

Yes, I know it's Christmas Eve.

Anyone else do this?

hmmm not really,

actually the last time i did this was playing Natural
Selection and listening to Gridlock and Quench. Worked
extremely well together. I did that for awhile.

Usually I just listen to the music in the game. I've bought
the original sound versions of Crono Trigger and Final
Fantasy 6 on cd. Very nostalgic when I just listen and dont
play the game...

I always associate the album "Cure For Sanity" by PWEI with
"Duke Nukem 3D".

Bola and Metroid, that's way righteous.

Y'know, even though I'm a hardcore gamer and musicker, I've
never experienced this phenomena. I guess when I think of
games, I immediately think of THEIR music, their original
soundtracks. I listen to a lot of game music, everyday. I
can't separate the game and its music and nothing comes
between it.

Thunder Force 4 > Beethoven

for a while i always listened to games with just their
sound. i have a surround sound system i'd hook it up to.
well, it used rca plugs and i had been using an old
commodore64 monitor as a screen. once that crapped out i
went back to the regular cable hook up on my tv for
videogames and i pretty much listen to music whenever i'm
playing. there are a few games where i must listen to the
sound, like metal gear solid for instance. i miss listening
to game's music, but on the tv i have it just isn't worth
it.
