One of the best things about watching
FF7: Advent Children was that they played alot of the music from the game through it (I think, ,maybe it was in the extras section??) either way I recently heard alot of it again and its funny just how much memory it can trigger.
One of my friends years ago was a bit of a computer and keyboard wizz, completely self taught, he used to create his own games first on a commadore64 then later on PCs. I'd often walk in and have him say "where's this from" and he'd play a section of music that he had learnt by ear. Sometimes it was a song or movie theme but just as often it was a section of music from a game he had been playing. An amazing talent and such a shame that he was never given the chance to really explore it, the guy works in a brick factory now and if he still tinkers with computers I'm guessing his long ago given up the keyboard
.
The music from
Shining Force 1&2 is pretty much imprinted on my brain for life now and I really like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata but it was teaching Jill Valentine to play it in
Resident Evil where I first heard it.
I just remembered the opening music for
Double Dragon (as the roller door opens and the player characters walk out) which not only reminds me of the game scenes but also of the little corner shop garage that we used to play the arcade games in. Which isnt all that suprising considering the amount of time I spent in the place
