What are your favorite Videogame Menu tracks? It doesn't have to be the music when you're scrolling through the menu, it can even be the "press start" screen.
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
This game disappointed me especially in it's soundtrack department. Why they made the decision to redo the entire thing I'll never know.
However there's no denying when they DID use the original's soundtrack it was amazing. The menu theme is one such example.
Metroid Prime
To be honest it was either this "press start" theme or the actual menu theme. I couldn't decide. Of course this is an iconic piece and visually one of the greatest intros in gaming. The intro is absolute hype. I could have filled this full of Metroid themes to be honest. Super Metroid and the original Metroid are also iconic and also atmospheric.
Killer Instinct:Arcade version
I'm cheating a tad here but seen as it's an arcade game there's no menu theme per say. I could have also put the character select theme in here as well which is also hype.
I mean this entire intro to the game is amazing.
Mortal Kombat: Megadrive version
By far the best version of the theme, it actually outclasses the arcade version by a fair margin. The Super Nintendo one is up for debate but I don't think so.
Thunderforce IV: Megadrive version
If you haven't tried this game I assure you to give it a go. I've never heard better 16bit music to this day and obviously will likely never unless I discover some old classic.
This isn't even near the best track in the game
