Title: Music based on BG, BGII, etc.
Post by: Blizzard Beast on November 08, 2008, 11:32:58 AM

Anyone know of any?

Other than the fact that it's André Olbrecht from Blind Guardian's favourite game ever, and that in 1991 Helloween did a song called "Heavy Metal Hamsters" I'm not sure there is any...

There have been new music tracks designed expressly for the game--theacefes did an entire alternate soundtrack a while back. But if you mean, some song released to the world at large which just happens to be about the Umar chickens... that, I doubt.

Phoebe and Cole get it on to the Jaheira romance theme (starts at 2:57 (http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=qXxhfg1uRug)). I think I've heard other BG songs on TV, too, but I don't remember where.

Yeah, and I've heard of the game themes showing up in things like sports highlight packages and the like.

Older thread, but I had posted somewhere else that Mass Effect seems to be using very close tunes with BG during the final battle at the end of the game.
