bass lines in computer games

[thumbo]

Anyone ever had a play along to any computer games? I highly recommend giving Sonic 1 a bash on the old bass, I'm having great fun

Some of the Doom 1 and 2 soundtracks are very basstastic. As they're midi as well, bass is easy to pick out.

Very random game on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis called Toejam & Earl. Some very funky basslines on that.

Here's a MIDI file of the one that I learned from Toejam & Earl

The soundtrack from Kid Chameleon (Sega Megadrive) had a really groovy bassline to it.

Some of the music shipped with TrackMania and Roller Coaster Tycoon are pretty decent - with some complex bass work in places.

The GTA-San Andreas "theme tune" that plays during the menus is all bass. Even though I know what the notes are and can play it I still don't really understand why it works as well as it does,

I'm sure there was a particularly cool bassline in one of the background music tracks on the original Unreal. Forget which one now. And if I remember right the background track from Tempest had a very good bassline as well.
