    Christ! Has it really been over 2 years since this was first posted?! Oh man, T-Dar 20 is still one of the best!

    Ironically, I own the SNES Clayfighter. I liked the song, and it was the only game my mom would play with me. Just to make this clear, I was 5 when I played this game.

    Any game you can't play muted should automatically start out at a maximum high score of 50% of the available score (so, a game you can't play muted can't get higher than a 5/10).

    I had never heard the freaky fliers. Holy lord, that was the worst songs for any piece of interactive media ever.

    YEAH!!! SnakeEater made the list! I was looking for it the second I read the thread title.

    Super Sonic Racing. NONE of the songs in Brawl are so shameful and painful and other synonyms for nightmarish. I don't think the God Hand one counts...that one is MEANT to bad.

    Alright, you suckered me in with "hair metal"

    Glad everyone's enjoying (wrong word, perhaps?) the article. But to the guy who asked "what the fuck" I know about game music... oh man, just ask.

  • TedDidlio - September 28, 2008 12:15 a.m.

    fuck what i just said, almost every song on this list would give the cumlords in dragonforce boners.

  • TedDidlio - September 28, 2008 12:11 a.m.

    the clayfighter song would definitely give the d-bags in dragonforce throbbing hard ons.

    "Night trap!" ....wtf...was that.

  • cricket0 - September 27, 2008 3:55 p.m.

  • Herschal - September 27, 2008 9:51 a.m.

    I feel sick now. Time to go blast some decent music into my ears for the next several days.

  • Mighty - September 26, 2008 9:08 p.m.

    Bad list. What the fuck do you assholes know about game music

  • paperkirby23 - September 25, 2008 4:50 p.m.

  • bodysnatcher - September 25, 2008 12:31 p.m.

    even tho snake eater got mentioned it shoulda been at the top of the list. that song is horrible. "Someday you go through the rain And someday, you feed on a tree frog"
