Music and gaming memories

[Stormwatch]

Thought this might be an interesting thread - you must have memories if playing particular computer games while listening to certain songs, and it probably takes you right back to that time when you hear the song. Here's some of mine, anyone got any of their own?

Early years -
Liverpool Football Club,"Liverpool Rap" - Kangaroo on the Atari 2600

Middle Years -
Metallica "And Justice For All" - Antiriad on the Commodore 64
Megadeth "Tornado Of Souls" - Rick Dangerous 2 on C64
Metallica "The God That Failed" - Defenders of the Earth on C64 (it was shite)

Later Years
WASP - "Still Not Black Enough" - UFO:Enemy Unkown on Playstation
Anthrax - "Random Acts of Senseless Violence" - V-Rally on Playstation

and recently I'll probably have memories of
Jethro Tull - "Roots To Branches" - Republic, The Revoloution on PC



Anyone?

It's not about tech, it's about music/memories. The tech aspect is secondary.

Ridge Racer - R.E.M "Losing my religion" That game is so cool. Once it's loaded you can take the cd out of the console and put in a music cd.

I associate most songs from In Flames Whoracle cd with Diablo II. I constantly had songs like "Jotun", "Food For The Gods" and "Dialogue With The Stars" on in the background

I actually downloaded a few HammerFall songs once solely for listening to while playing my Knight character on EverQuest... daaammmn that was a long time ago.
Other than that, I like to listen to:

-Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Bathory while playing The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time (N64)
-Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, Immortal while playing Unreal Tournament (PC)
-Dissection, Emperor while playing Baldur's Gate (PlayStation2)
-The Kovenant while playing various James Bond/spy games (N64, PlayStation2)
-Children of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir sometimes while playing Grand Theft Auto III/Vice City ... though I often listen to the in-game radio, that's some funny shit (PlayStation2)

and very recently, I've been listening to Stormlord and Nightwish a lot while playing Doom III.

Flotsam & Jetsams Dreams of Death and Misguided Fortune I remember listening to a lot with Diablo II.

Metallica's Kill Em All is an album I listen to a lot in Ton yHAwk Underground, as well as Peace Sells by Megadeth.

I listen to Death a lot while playing Counterstrike.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

When I hear A Perfect Circle I think of Super Mario World. Lamb of God goes along with Donkey Kong Country. Sometimes Opeth MAYH or Still Life makes me think of Tony Hawk. Dan Swano's Moontower reminds of a DBZ mod I had for Quake III.

And the best one is Lovefool by the Cardigans making me remember playing Diablo.

. Lamb of God goes along with Donkey Kong Country.

Ah yes, Donkey Kong Country, I'm reminded of that when I play Divine Intervention by Slayer.
Stunt Race Fx and Super Metroid are also though of when I hear Never Mind The Bollocks.

So many memories! :Spin:

 

[MURAI]

Ah yes, Donkey Kong Country, I'm reminded of that when I play Divine Intervention by Slayer.

I think inverted crosses and raining blood.

 

[Edgecrusher]

My ability to excel at Mario Kart: Double Dash seems to increase when I'm listening to Meshuggah's 'Contradictions Collapse'

 

[futile]

I recall watching an UnrealTournament vid (TH) years ago which had Dimmu Bogir , In Flames and God Forbid as backround music.. that got me hooked on metal.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Early years -
Liverpool Football Club,"Liverpool Rap" - Kangaroo on the Atari 2600

Liverpool FC as hot as hell
United, Tottenham, Arsenal
Watch my lips, and I will spell
'Cause they don't just play but they can rap as WELL!

And you wonder why I hate Liverpool FC.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Megadeth's Rust in Peace reminds me of 'Oh Mummy' and 'Annals of Rome' for the Amstrad.

Det Som Engang Var brings up memories of Unreal Tournament 2003 in the back of my mind.

 

[Barnolde]

Twisted Metal III

Rob Zombie - Meet The Creeper
Rob Zombie - Superbeast
Pitchshifter - Microwaved

Wasn't Pitchshifter's W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G. in it as well?

I use my Xbox custom soundtracks a lot so here goes:

Counter-Strike:
Death - Leprosy (album)
Carcass - Heartwork (album)

Deathrow:
Fear Factory - Hi-Tech Hate
Vader - Black To The Blind (album)

Amped 2:
Cannibal Corpse - Crushing The Despised, When Death Replaces Life, Savage Butchery, Pounded Into Dust
Suffocation - Effigy Of The Forgotten (album)

Jet Set Radio Future/Jet Grind Radio:
Whatever songs were on those soundtracks, because they're the kinds that stay in your mind

 

[Edgecrusher]

I got Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Devin Townsend's 'Accelerated Evolution' around the same time so I closely associate those two together.

And you wonder why I hate Liverpool FC.

Well I was a big Liverpool fan at the time (my grandfather was from Liverpool and him and my uncle got me hooked - that and the European trophies!) and I fucking loved that song. John Barnes was good in it, but that was before he started all the wife beating carry on. I think the Stutter Rap was out around the same time. That was cool too.
I was about 9 at the time.
Clearly.
