Is this the most recognizable theme in gaming history?

lmao, same here. That OP was quite the, uh, interesting choice. I guess he's been on a Valve binge lately...
The only way 1-1 isn't the answer, is if you argue it's not a theme. And if we take that as fair, it's Tetris.
I grew up with PC gaming and the Half-life games and though I had that that one tone in my head when I saw the picture in the OP I would not put it in the top 100 most recognizable themes. I wouldn't even call it a theme.
Super Mario Bros 1-1 is way more recognizable as is the Tetris Theme all mainly with older people, but I guess not many young people would recognize them. For them it might be Megalovania or the Fortnite dance jingle.

look at post #48
It's Mario.
Tetris might be close, but idk if there's even any connection with Tetris and the current generation of kids.

Putting aside the resounding chorus of better known console game themes, even on PC, I have stuff like the original Deus Ex march or the Terran music from SC1 more readily available in my head than the Half Life theme
Or like, the songs from Portal, or the little musical stinger at the end of "Meet The..." shorts from Team Fortress
or the Tank music from Left 4 Dead
I didn't even know Half Life had a theme

Interesting, I never heard more than like 5 seconds of the Valve theme, never knew there's more. But I doubt that would make it top10 even in a PC centric list...atleast in my list it probably wouldn't. For how good Half Life was, there are far more memorable themes imo.
But for all gaming, I agree with Mario bros/Tetris.

While it's probably not the most memorable, it ranks very high. Of course Era posters wouldn't know, as they don't play MP and have never touched a Counterstrike game in their life.
Millions of people hear this every day and have heard this everyday for the last 20 years.
Wow. When I opened this thread, I sure didn't expect that song in the OP.
But yeah, it's the Super Mario Bros. ground theme, Tetris Type A, or Pac-Man's classic "stage start" jingle.
EDIT: I guess this was supposed to be bait or something? I dunno. Point still stands. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tetris, Mario, Zelda, even metal gear solid theme or Halo is more recognizable. For PC gamers the theme certainly brings a lot of joy and fond memories, but even PC gamers must have played Mario or Tetris
Mario 1-1, tetris, and pac man up there for top 3. I say majority of gamers dont know the valve theme.
lmao
I don't even think world of warcraft fans care about world of warcraft anymore
I love Bubble Bobble and I didn't remember the theme even after watching this video...
It's definitley Mario Bros and quite a few more before half life
Half life was a huge deal but I bet you half the people gaming today have never played it let alone know the music

Oh my god, I thought the OP linked the 10 second tune Valve uses in their intros. I didn't even realize they had a full theme.
I definitely wouldn't put the Pac-Man theme on that level
