Celadon City from the Pokémon games
boring in comparison, Celadon City is truly one of the greatest melodies I know of in any game
“Pokémon the Trading Card Game” has such a genuinely good fucking soundtrack!
Shantae has a great soundtrack. You also can’t go wrong with any of the Gameboy Pokemon titles.
Pokémon Blue. That’s the stuff dreams are made of.
Gold Silver and Crystal also! Pokemon OSTs in general are pretty good.
I was actually listening to the Gold/Silver surf theme when I clicked into this thread, it’s pretty relaxing.
I fittingly listen to the SS Anne one a lot.
Probably Final Fantasy Legend 2 or Zelda: Link’s Awakening. I still have midi-format versions of those sitting around.
I wouldn’t specifically recommend that someone go back and dig them up, though, if they haven’t played them and aren’t just wanting the nostalgia value.
For the Game Boy, I think that the technical limitations on the audio hardware really keep it from being competitive with larger systems, though. I mean, it’s impressive what they managed to do with the hardware in that era, but the SNES was a lot more capable.
