Free Video Game Music (mp3, Ogg, MIDI, FLAC)

To help visitors navigate the large amount of music on this site, I’ve created the following directory.  (Note that the top-right search box is also available, and it may actually be faster if you’re trying to locate a specific song.)

Entries are sorted by category, and this directory may differ from the formal categorization available via the right-hand menu.  This is deliberate.

Songs are generally available in MIDI, mp3, Ogg (Vorbis), and FLAC formats. As of late 2011 this continues to be a work in progress; all songs should be available in at least mp3 and MIDI formats, and I am continually adding Ogg and FLAC versions as time allows. If you desperately need a song in a format other than what’s available, email me and I’ll see what I can do. At the time of this writing I am approximately 30% of the way toward supplying Ogg and FLAC versions of all songs.

Greatest Hits

Eleven songs, representing a mix of personal favorites and most popular downloads:

Original Music

Ambient

  • Deeper – my latest sci-fi techno dungeon theme
  • The Forest Awakes – pan flute dominates this Irish-ish forest tune
  • From Here – despite using only three chords, this piece is one of the most epic on this site
  • Halls of Despair – my first attempt at a “scary” piece of background music…now it’s mostly good for a laugh
  • The Haunting – my creepiest song to date; a cunning, insidious horror theme
  • Purgatory’s Mansion – minor theme comprised almost entirely of pianos (four of ‘em!)
  • Surreptitious – part of the genre sometimes referred to as “sneak” music

Battle

  • Assault on Mist Castle – two-part anticipation/battle theme
  • Cyaron’s Gate – a two-part Bach-inspired fight theme
  • Dark Knight – a driving 5/4 orchestral number (written long before the Batman movie of the same name!)
  • Defiance and Defiance Remixed – two variations on my first modern rock battle theme
  • Now or Never – traditional march/anticipatory theme, a sort of “prelude to battle”
  • Ominosity – an experiment in using nothing but minor scales to generate an emphatic battle theme
  • Reign of Anarchy – vintage RPG boss battle
  • Retribution – my most epic battle theme to date; multiple themes in beautiful metal glory

Character Theme

  • A Memory Away – contemporary rock never sounded so good (…as a remixed MIDI, that is)
  • Clowns – a violation of every rule of good music…just because I can
  • Crossroads – from starting timpani to final orchestra crash, this piece embodies the principle of “theme”
  • Daybreak – the first (and last) “hoedown” theme I’ll ever write
  • Destiny – my favorite female character theme; simple, memorable, profound
  • Faith – epic choir + pipe organ + orchestra + full percussion = church music at its finest
  • Fate (Clint’s Theme) – a screwy, fatuous tribute to Clint V Franklin, aka “theraje”
  • Find You – a beautifully haunting orchestral theme marked by the best oboe soundfont you’ll ever hear
  • Find You (March Remix) – same great theme, new orchestral march mix
  • The Journey (Kroc’s Theme) – a classic march, led by a very nice Spanish trumpet
  • King of the Desert – the best guitar work I’ve ever done (acoustic and electric)
  • Remember – a majestic character theme and the second half of Cyaron’s Gate

Game Over

Love

Retro

Town Theme

  • Familiar Roads – modern, pop-rock style theme (great drum work, btw)
  • Home – pastoral town theme for a quaint little fictional village
  • Lost Islands – tribal music, which basically means lots and lots and lots of drums
  • Syntheticity – synth-heavy 80′s-style VG town theme
  • Tiberian National Anthem – patriotic theme for a fictional country

Villain

  • Honky-Tonk Villain – moustached villain, innocent woman, train tracks, honky-tonk piano…BAM
  • March of the Zargansk – dark, brooding theme for a hostile alien race
  • Thugs – MIDI doesn’t do metal rock, but it does do… cheesy imitation rock!
