these themes are almost as iconic as the
games themselves welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our top 10 favorite retro
video game theme songs number 10
Mega Man 2 the title theme
ready to go let’s do it
years 2000 X obviously and you’re the
blue bomber on a mission to save the
world from the evil dr. wily Megaman
second outing isn’t only his most iconic
but feature the liveliest theme of the
series hell yeah I’m ready to go
wait what’s Mega Man have hair isn’t
your rope
number nine Diablo Tristram
you may be safe interest room but this
name makes sure that a terrible sense of
foreboding hits you long before you ever
raise your sword the rippling chords and
smooth ominous tones is all the
exposition you need to know that all is
not well in Tristram you can point and
click but you cannot escape the terror
number eight Duke Nukem rad bag now
here’s a theme to kick ass and chew
bubblegum to the beat says it all
explosions bathroom breaks strippers
Motley Crue be proud honorable mention
goes to the original doom theme but the
Duke takes it to the next level let’s
rock
number seven final fantasy prelude ready
for some adventure yeah we thought so a
far cry from the hair metal Duke theme
Final Fantasy 7 slow and contemplative
menu music promises that mystery and
Wonder await the intrepid explorer Gaia
is calling number 6 f-zero mute city
you
before he let out his signature falcon
punch the captain sped around ute city
at breakneck speeds we’re not sure what
futuristic radio channel he was
listening to inside the golden fox’s
cockpit maybe it was news talk radio or
a commercial for life insurance but out
here it’s pure racing bliss baseline for
the win
number five Sonic the Hedgehog Green
Hill Zone
Sonic’s on a downward spiral but at
least the speed demon can boast one of
the most iconic Tunes in gaming no not
the newer songs with vocals we’re
talking about that first zippy melody we
heard in the Green Hill Zone while
catching rings you know the one that
almost made you forget that your friends
had Mario almost number four turtles in
time everything
a retro WatchMojo countdown without the
heroes in a half-shell no chance bra if
you were fortunate enough to grow up
when our kids were all the rage then you
probably spent a fair amount of pizza
time every level seemed to have a cooler
theme than the last building the
excitement to a fever pitch
but while smashing the Foot Clan just
try to remember winners don’t use drugs
number three
Zelda the Hyrule theme it’s epic it’s
catchy and has become synonymous with
adventure it takes a special tune to
keep us loving it after such a massive
quest sure the series later got
orchestral scores but nothing compares
to the original in all its 8-bit glory
just close your eyes and let that
monophonic looped piece of heaven
transport you to Hyrule
number two Mario Brothers level 1 1 was
there any doubt the steam has fully
transcended genres and stood the test of
time
arguably just as recognizable as the
mustachioed plumber himself even those
who shun video games know this theme a
cliche choice for a top 10 list if there
ever was one we still have to pay our
respects to this classic if only because
it brings back memories of yanking our
controllers to the right to help Mario
over those tough jumps number one Tetris
da
taking the top spot on our list is the
catchiest theme of all time you know you
still have to save bid melody in your
head ask anyone
stacking tetrominoes is addictive but
the a theme consumes you was it secretly
part of a brainwashing program to make
us long for the darker side of the Iron
Curtain probably not but this is without
a doubt Bar None the best thing to ever
come out of the Cold War sorry Tom
Clancy
