      Yea Halo without his work is just a mediocre shooter. But Marty makes it feel operatic.

      For me him and Jeremy Soule are my favourites. The games they made music for, I would not replay them as often and I have if it had different composer. I find it strange how both composers are "cancelled".

        Yes but he isn't exactly active in the videogame industry anymore, aside from the Pixel Remaster Final Fantasy games he didn't work on anything other than videogame remixes/arranges albums of old Squeenix titles.

        >In August 2019, Soule was accused of rape by game designer Nathalie Lawhead.[37][38][39][40]

      He initially left Squeenix when he wanted to concentrate on his band, then he started to have health issues and decided to take a break. He did come back to Square Enix recently to help with the Pixel Remaster OSTs.

    For retro gaming composers from the 90s/amiga era i think Chris Hülsbeck is one of the best video game composers out there. His most notable work being on the super turrican games.

        Tommy composed a good handful of great tracks in his day but has claimed a lot of other music and sound effects he didn't make that was just made by other composers and sound engineers he employed. Same guy that claims to have worked on games he didn't and reviewed games he DID work on on his TV show and gave them good scores while shitting on perfectly fine games he didn't. It's sad when a guy with talent still lies about what they did, because he didn't need to.

          interesting, examples of games he didn't actually compose for but he still claimed to? I really like DKC and MDK so I hope it's neither of those

            There's a bunch of games with music and sound by Joey Kuras who worked for Tommy's studio that over the years Tommy went from saying were made by Joey to by "us" to by himself (including the original THPS). Tommy has also blatantly lied about being in charge of sound for Metroid Prime and being "the first American to work on a Sonic game" in reference to working on Black Knight when Americans were working on the series as early as Sonic 2. Tommy even has several Guinness World Records that are complete bullshit.

            This started coming to light when it was discovered that the "oof" sound effect from Roblox that was a big zoomer meme was actually from an obscure game Kuras did the sound for, and suddenly Tommy started to claim it as his own for a payday.

            That said, stuff like Earthworm Jim and MDK are Tommy's work and they still rule. Again, sucks seeing a guy with talent decide to steal credit anyway. But after that Amico scam I can't feel bad.

    While Kow Otani doesn't have an extensive list of work on video games (most of his work is in anime and films) Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack is so well done that it's good enough for him to be a contender for the top spot in best video game composers of all time. One good soundtrack is enough to justify that argument.

      If anything his horror work overshadows his overall talent. The guy has range but Silent Hill's reputation precedes him. The guy can make a real groove when he needs to. I was pleasantly surprised to see him in the opening credits of Edgerunners.

    Yuzo Koshiro and Takenobu Mitsuyoshi both worked on Shenmue, one of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time. Mitsuyoshi is probably the king of arcade aside from working on Shenmue, worked on all of Namco, Konami, and Sega's best stuff during that era.

      Mitsuyoshi needs more recognition and more work. I really love his style and his vocals. Yuzo at least gets his due and even made one of his best tracks ever for Streets of Rage 4's opening stage.

        Sega has/had damn excellent musical talent in its history. Look at the SST. And shout out to Zuntata from Taito.

        These are the Elevator Action Returns and Kaiser Knuckle OSTs. Savor it.
