I played BaSS fairly recently so I don't wanna. But I did buy Broken Sword for my iPhone this morning, which looks quite nice. And also Doodle God.

I got BaSS for my ipod touch, still a great game (although quite easy as far as point and clicks go). Started on Broken Sword as well which has great updated graphics.

Must try and finish it before I'm tempted by Monkey island 2 which has just been released!.

On a side note does anyone play Carcassonne?, I've been playing the ipod version and multiplayer looks like fun.

Hows about Shinobi vs Dragon, Flashback & Desert Strike?

Oh and the eerie one from team death match for GoldenEye was always good too, if not as catchy in a more upbeat sense like Sonic.

As a bit of an alternative to music from the games, does anyone else has music they associate with games? For example, for me the Skunk Anansie album Stoosh is indelibly associated with Theme Hospital. I bought them both at the same time, and played Theme Hospital with the album on repeat in the background for what was evidently far too long.

Hasn't spoilt the album for me, but often makes me a little nostalgic for Theme Hospital when I hear it. Also, new Skunk Anansie album out in September. This pleases me.

Due to lots of being played on the radio, and obsessive creativity at the time, I always associate No Doubt's Don't Speak with the level builder tools for Duke Nukem 3D.

Of a similar time, I was JustAGirl in Quake for a while, before settling on Father_Jack after a brief dalliance with Scrofula.

Storm Peaks and Icecrown in WoW will always conjure up Mastadon's Blood and Thunder for me.

Nostalgia upon nostalgia, recalling my old Quake username reminded me of this horror. FJ's awesome Quake deathmatch guide last updated December 1996 and never finished.

Dire Straits' Calling Elvis reminds me of kicking around Frulegur in Eve.

Canon Rock reminds me of doing endless fuel runs and part runs for our POS (when it was first being set up)
Countless runs back and forth and I don't think I ever got killed whilst it was playing.

The one we left unanchored in space over Christmas?

No, it was the second one!

Conversely I lost my first Rifter Brawler to a Sniperthron while listening to Dire Straits. Took me ages to save up for those ACIIs. I nearly quit the game there and then.

Or dig out my disks for the PC version, or download it via PSN and play it on the PS3 or PSP.

All of which I have done, at least five times, most recently earlier this year. It's certainly my #1 most replayed game.

Music is one of the most important aspects in a game for me personally.

Found this music quite chilling and was at an important part of the game.

Possibly my fave game music ever
