"Maridia Underwater" from Super Metroid on SNES (1994)
Composer: Yoshio Sakamoto and Minako Hamano
Game Developer: Nintendo
"The last Metroid is in captivity, the galaxy is at peace." My friend John posted a picture of Samus with that iconic tagline, and I was instantly launched into Super Metroid nostalgia. Specifically the song that follows that statement at the start of the game Super Metroid. I can play the whole thing in my head, look, I'm doing it right now just looking at the quote.
I was originally intending to post that song, but then I got to listening to the soundtrack to Super Metroid, and it is so much gold. Super Metroid brought a level of lush, spooky beauty to 1994 that I had not previously seen in a video game. Listening to this soundtrack really makes me want to play the game. Bad.
I could truly pick any song from it, but I think I will settle with the melodically spooky "Maridia Underwater Rocky Area." Which sounds like a happier theme played on a busted music box. Or something. It's October, I'm into the spooky.
