oh my god this track is so adorable

why would this be on this list. gamers people have no taste.

EDIT: Jesus christ an Evergrace track is on here.

wwf attitude is a bad game, but for some reason an insane amount of money and effort was put into recording tons of voicepacks and original vocal songs for use with create-a-wrestlers
agent x (secret agent theme?)

toxic shock (theme for a toxic waste monster called biohazard?)

sticky world (theme for a weedy nerd named stick boy?)

Obligatory, it legit gets stuck in my head sometimes and I played this game for like 20 hours more than 12 years ago.

not bad by any definition of the word but a perfect example of “bad sound, great tune”

One of the all-time most famous bad songs.

The whole Yoshi’s New Island OST sounds like a first draft finished in half an afternoon.

What, Psycho Soldier theme isn’t bad at all. Athena’s name is magic and she’s just a little girl with power inside – burning bright, and she’ll get you if you are bad.
