The early 2000s had some amazing game music. Even CS 1.6 with its menu sounds brings back so many memories. But there were other games too — like Quake or old Need for Speed. What soundtrack from that era stuck with you the most? Sometimes I still play those tracks just for the nostalgia.

I know exactly what you mean. The CS 1.6 menu music is burned into my brain forever. I also loved the soundtracks from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and even the old GTA games. If you want to dive back in, you can get the download Counter-Strike 1.6 and just let the menu loop — instant time travel. It’s wild how music from those years just takes you back, especially with all the old sound effects and tunes. I still have a playlist of old game tracks for when I want to zone out.

Game soundtracks really hit different back then. Sometimes I�ll stumble onto an old track and get hit with memories of playing late into the night. Music definitely adds to the nostalgia.
