Legend
The other day I was in the shower (don't worry, kids, this is a clean thread), and I started humming a tune without realizing it was the Super Mario Bros. music. I'll do the same thing with the music from the original Legend of Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog, Gauntlet, and sometimes tunes from games I barely remember. It's honestly amazing how some tunes can stick with you for decades. It got me to thinking about what video games have wowed me with their soundtrack in one way or another.
There was a little game released a few years back called Baldur's Gate 3. It was an indy game and didn't get a whole lot of press, so you're forgiven if you haven't heard of it. There's one particular boss fight you start and of course the boss music comes on like you would expect. But it doesn't take long before you hear a woman singing. Oh, wow! A boss fights with lyrics! But as you progress, a male voice starts to sing, and you realize it's the boss singing to you during the fight. It was so unexpected, I couldn't help but laugh quite loudly.
More recently, I've been playing Wasteland 3. There's an organization called The Gippers who worship a giant Ronald Reagan robot. During a fight, with all the explosions and gunfire, this version of "America the Beautiful" played. Imagine a giant Ronald Reagan robot complaining about communist while shooting death beams out of his eyes while this song plays. Truly a surreal moment.
