I’ve put together a list of 60 tunes that have stuck with me through the years, inspired by Jeffrey Canam (@GrahfMetal)’s Twitter rundown of his top 100 favourite video game tracks. I’ve attempted to limit myself to a couple songs per game, but there are exceptions.

I’ll post them here and on Twitter every Tuesday and Thursday using the hashtag #KongsTdayTunes.

One of the most climactic moments in an already quite dramatic game. The whole Final Fantasy VI soundtrack is phenomenal as it is, but this track somehow takes it up a notch. I can’t really say much more about this one without writing a book.

Track: “The Fierce Battle” (YouTube Link)
Game: Final Fantasy VI (SNES, 1994)
Composer: Nobuo Uematsu
