Best Video Game Song Tournament, 1990-1995: Semifinals

Now it’s time for the knockout rounds. We’ll be single-elimination from here on out. You can see the bracket (with results!) here

We’re now small enough for every song to be up every day. Groups will no longer be feathered, and will instead be open until 9:00 am Pacific the day after they go live (roughly the time the next group goes live). You can listen to the entire top 4 here.

PLEASE LISTEN TO BOTH SONGS IN A MATCH BEFORE VOTING

Voting will be live until Friday, February 21st at 9:00am Pacific 

Final Fantasy V Battle at the Big Bridge 11 Chrono Trigger Corridors of Time 15
Chrono Trigger Chrono Trigger 12 Silver Surfer (NES) Level 1 15
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Dark World 17 Earthbound Onett Theme 14

Fun facts about the top 4:

[spoiler]

Top 4 by game:
We have 2 JRPGs (Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger), a classic Nintendo game (Link to the Past) and…Silver Surfer? A surprise to some, but by now we all know of the Legendary Tim Follin. The games he worked on may not have been good but the songs were all bangers, and he absolutely belongs in this top 4.

Remember the Fallen1:

  • Earthbound
  • Final Fantasy V
  • Streets of Rage 2
