Your favourite Game Over music

Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Whether it be a short tune or longer, what's your favourite Game Over music?

I'm fond of the Game Over music from Alone in the Dark 3. I'm also liking the Game Over theme from the first Mass Effect, if only because of a link that was posted on the Mass Effect 3 thread to a certain song about a large and unintelligent coelenterate. XD

"Fine! If you're so enamored of that object, then I suggest you get your own feces analyzer."

I like Mass Effect 1's game over music because it doubles as the Big Bad's theme.

Epic music for an Epic game!!! I love it.

And it goes hand in hand with the fact that you will hear it quite a lot.

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death itself may die."

I never noticed that. Now I feel stupid. XD

"Fine! If you're so enamored of that object, then I suggest you get your own feces analyzer."

This one's pretty good too.

I know SOMEBODY is going to post it, so it might as well be me:

The Greatest Game Over Music Ever. I even have it on my MP 3 player.

Also gotta give some nods to some Sega Racing games for strangely cheery game over tunes:

Daytona USA

Sega Rally Championship

I'm sure I'll think of some other good ones. But Total Distortion's You Are Dead takes the cake.

EDIT: Decided to embed the video.

Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.

The only game over music I can even remember off-hand is Donkey Kong Country 3's. :/

Fallout 2 didn't really have game over music, but it did have some pretty cool game over messages.

(Mild spoilers)

As for actual music: Seconding Mass Effect's.

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

The one in Sonic Rush.

I've never actually heard it in-game because I have like 80 lives.

Estimated shipping time: 2-4 weeks.

GAME OVER - PRESS R TO TRY AGAIN

Admit it, you're hearing it right now.

I am. And now I want to play it. What have you done to me

If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan Chah

Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles:

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.

FUN-ish FACT: The I Wanna Be The Guy game over theme hails from Guilty Gear.

Estimated shipping time: 2-4 weeks.

SMT Nocturne's game over music

devil survivor 2's game over music can fuck right off though.

takes too long aswell. why would you make a game over screen take a minute to get past, while making it unskippable and boring as fuck?

Total Distortion, Sega Rally, and Dayton- oh, they've been mentioned. Sweeeet

Here's another favorite of mine-

Dun-dun-dun-dununununununununu

If you wanna PM me, send it to my mrsunshinesprinkles account; this one is blorked.

Hands down, for me, is Final Fantasy 10. I thought it was a great piano rendition of the main theme.

Very big Daydream Believer. "That's not knowledge, that's a crapshoot!" -Al Murray "Welcome to QI" -Stephen Fry

I hate them all. Pisses me off listening to them.

It's the motif of the game and sounds very sad on piano.

To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."

Metal Gear Solid 3's "Time Paradox". Hands down, one of the most dramatic I've heard, it gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it.

(BTW, how do you embed the videos in the forums?)

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."

Final Fantasy XII: The short but beautiful harp piece is very poignant, especially against the blood red GAME OVER.

Holy Grail, huh? Cool story, bro.

Well you see that every Y Ou Tube link has a watch?v= in it right?

You take everything AFTER the = and delete everything before it.

The tags are [[youtube:

You then add everything left from the youtube link righ afte the colon. So it be [[youtube:yadyada

Then you just close it all off with a ]]. So the end result is [[youtube:yadayada ]] (only no space there)

It used to be the Game Over theme from Mega Man 3... Until Brental Floss ruined it...

So now, enjoy Master Hand tucking in Kirby after having his floor wiped out!

Just floating around...

I'm rather partial to this one, myself.

I guess we could go... wherever we please.
