Even though I loved IK+, I personally preferred the music from the first game
by far, i agree
ABSOLUTELY! The original is *MUCH* better than the IK+ version. Like 'masterpiece' good. Can't improve on it.
Agreed. Maybe not in video cause it's around ten minutes long
Even Hubbard himself has stated that he prefers the music from the original IK
Rob Hubbard = Genius.
Indeed he was but so were Martin Galway and Ben Daglish. So many great musicians on that little 8-bit beast.
@@satan3959 and Matt Gray, Jeroen tel and Tim follin
@@AmigaX Yup, and Fred Gray and the late, great Richard Joseph as well
I'm adding Thomas Detert to this little list ("Gordian Tomb", "Clystron") Cheers! :)
@@satan3959 RIP Ben!
These are awesome, like most SID tracks and these are some of the most memorable.But for me, for beautiful original atmospheric music, Fist2 all the way!
Fist 2 has a great soundtrack. Check out my remix: ua-cam.com/video/qwJxnPsVvS8/v-deo.html
What is truly amazing is what the programmers achieved with such little memory... & CPU power!
Today machines have so much memory & processing power that programmers are not squeezed to use the deliver, such impressed results... the C64 was an extraordinary machine due to its software library....
The C64 R-Type title theme is the best bit of music in the game on any platform!
Batman (1989) definitely should have made the list. Matthew Cannon did an amazing job with the score for that game.
Cybernoid II - Jeroen Tel. My all time favourite.
I agree with the Jeroen Tel part, but for me, it's the music from the first game
international karate has a superb 10 minutes track which doesnt loop (not IK+ but IK)
Yup. Even Rob Hubbard himself said that he prefers the music he did from the first game to the music from IK+
Giana sisters and Monty on the Run. can't beat them!!
Giana Sisters is OK, but in my opinion, R-Type and Katakis were Huelsbeck's best works on the C64
You can't have just 10 🤔 some good ones on here yet no Robocop, Wizball, Turbo Outrun, Ghouls'n'Ghosts, Delta, Retrograde, Last Ninja, Monty on the Run, Giana Sisters and so many others!
But the list is ten GREAT games with GREAT music. The C64 conversion of Ghouls'n'Ghosts was mediocre at best, especially when you compare it to the original game
@@satan3959 still good enough to secure a Zzap 64 gold medal! It could've done with some playtesting but it surpassed expectations back in the day. While taste is personal and greatness is subjective, I would wager that most of the games I listed are superior to many of the games in the video.
@@OceanLoader Zzap was not the be all and end all, they were not INFALLIBLE, like all you fanboys make them out to be. Blind fanboyism should be classed as a MENTAL ILLNESS. They gave fucking Hercules 94% FFS. That was basically an 8 bit version of fucking Yolanda on the Amiga for Christ sake.
Not bad choices but, the "Monty on the run" game music far surpasses all of these.
Nobody did C64 music better than Rob Hubbard
Garfield was a fucking excellent game on the C64. Looked and played superb.
I had the Amiga version, bit that had slow frame rate compared with the c64 version
C64 rules!
It still does!
I only found the Garfield game when I turned back to C64 on emulatiors. I didn’t know about it when we had a c64 but that small glimpse in the emulator had a lsting impression on me still years into PC gaming.
love that Garfield theme
The music from Yi Ar Kung Fu... Isn't that Jean Michel Jarre?
Got that right!
LOL, IK+, I used to play this with my brothers and friends a lot. Great memories.
Note that 7. is actually by Jean-Michel Jarre (Magnetic Fields IV)
Good old times and music
Last Ninja 2 & Cybernoid 2 should be on this list 😉
Read the video DESCRIPTION
The music for Garfield sounds like it starts with a dog barking first.
Then it goes up into a cat Meowing like.
_Bark Bark_
_Bark,_
_Bark,_
_Bark Bark,_
_Meow-Meow meow-eow-meow-meow meoew_
_Bark_
_Meow meow, meow meeeooow_
_Bark bark_
Most disappointed by the lack of Usagi Yojimbo ~
Boulder dash simple but great
MULE too
Great Stuff ✨
Yie Ar Kung~Fu!! was the loader music: Jean Michel Jarre's "Magnetic Fields 4," released a year or two before the game. What they did with the SID chip to make that sound so authentic must have been nothing short of witchcraft. Compare the original, it's amazing!
That's not witchcraft...that's Martin Galway's midas touch
I know it is hard to compile a top 10, but so many titles missing. Galway: Game Over, Wizball, Parallax, Arkanoid, Rambo, Cobra. Hubbard: Mega Apocalypse, Sanxion(!), Arcade Classics, Delta. Jeroen Tel does not get a mention despite many amazing titles including Supremacy, Stormlord, Cybernoid, list goes on and on. Glad that Chris Hülsbeck gets a mention but I would have thought great giana sisters would have been more popular at the time. Impossible Mission 2 is only remembered because of the speech "stay a while, stay forever", and not the music. I definitely do not understand how Garfield and Boulder Dash have made it into this list.
Mega Apocalypse is good music but I like the music from the first game better
Come on¡¡¡ You Didn't Include Teh Last Ninja 1 or 2?
Come on, read the description. Last Ninja was already in the Top 10 Best C64 Music video.
Dunno about the others but if you had a 128 or 64C with an 8580 IK+ sounded really messed up.
Midnight Resistance tune NTSC version, sound much better more fast tempo. That't International Karate + or IK+. Not International Karate. If the music is similar but are different, both versions has a different musical arrangements.
Good call out
R-Type must be the best SID ever
Giana Sisters ?
3. International Karate Plus
Bubble bobble, Rick dangerous, gi Joe and bionic commando
I hope you mean the EUROPEAN version of Bionic Commando, because the music in the US version SUCKED
I Identify As A Commodore 64 Since I'm An Old Fart : I did , i did not though there where a European version and a US version
That's International Karate PLUS, not the regular IK. IK was just ONE ON ONE fights, there was no third man
I don't know... the C64 version of Yie Ar Kung Fu always looked so strange to me. Like every character in every frame of animation is in the weirdest pose imaginable. NES version was way more acceptable in this sense.
This video is about the MUSIC, not the game itself, dumbass
No Commando???
lol @0:50
Unknown visitor...
there is a lot missing from this list, last ninja comes to mind, i guess you are one of those people who can only hear and does not listen to music.
This list is useless without Forbidden Forest.
Not necessarily Forbidden Forest, Id say useless without Paul Norman.
@@scottythegreat1 Yeah, Aztec Challenge has also a great SID-soundtrack!
I can't get past the Ready screen on 8:15. What did you do to start the game?
***** I figured it out. I had to swap the joystick ports in the VICE emulator.
White Player Wins
the master is racist he always says white is last white goes out whereas blue gets another chance.
To be on top?
and gtav
this games you presented don´t have nothing special ! Marauder owns the best soundtracks on the C64 and is not here
