Auditory Memories

I think maybe I might be a little weird, but just a little.  I have always enjoyed the music from video games and have downloaded numerous soundtracks.  The sale of soundtracks from video games has become much more common in recent years.  Now, they are often included as bonus content or can be purchased separately from games.  You can search on iTunes for video game soundtracks and will have a wide selection from which to choose.  Listening to a soundtrack reminds me of my adventures--whether they are in space, in mysterious lands populated by dangerous enemies, or in worlds torn apart by conflict.  Music sets the tone and energy for a moment.  In Skyrim the thundering chorals and chants echo as the dragonborn learns shouts and slays dragons.

In World of Warcraft the music varies from zone to zone, but the music in the capital cities is permanently etched in my mind--the heroic feeling of the Alliance in Stormwind or the strength of the Horde in Orgrimmar.

What are your favorite musical memories from gaming?  Are they the raucous moments of combat or the calm moments exploring a region?  Maybe they are classics from your favorite childhood games.  Tomorrow I will continue my exploration of my favorite video game music.
