[Mekanos]

Every song that uses the SNES Mega Man X soundfont.

 

[Mozendo]

This is the first thing that came to mind
I'm a huge fan of the fretless bass


The original Shin Megami Tensei has great bass lines too

Silver Surfer - Level 1 - Nes Music

This song is way too good for the game.

 

[Suede]

I've always liked the one in New Junk City for Earthworm Jim.

 

[AppleKid]

Obviously the one from the greatest video game bassist of all time: Japas

Gotta love the way Uematsu saved the classic until the final battle.

 

[Dyno]

 

[Cranster]

 

[UraMallas]

I quite like the Chicken Dungeons bass line in Guacamelee 2. It slaps.

 

[brambles13]

I don't have just one but I will say Genesis\MD games had the best and most iconic bass.

Davie 504 approves

I always loved the bass in this song:

 

[chipperrip]

Circle of the moon has a great bass driven soundtrack.



This, "Sinking Old Sanctuary", "Aquarius"; sweet stuff.

 

[WordsAndDreams]

I don't know if it's the best, but I love the RE2 credits song:

 

[Deleted member 51539]

Any Tim Follin song?

 

[MontlyCure]

I've always loved the bass in this song. Early SMT games always seem to have songs with pretty rockin' bass.

 

[Deleted member 2474]

the entire sonic 3 & knuckles soundtrack

This, on repeat, 3 hours straight.

 

[DrFunk]

 

[Sorel]

 

[BlackLagoon]

The game may have been a dud, but the Dark Void soundtrack was top notch and with a very prominent bass guitar (including a solo 4 mins in).

Oh man, the syncopation of the bass in this track is fire.

 

[chipperrip]

 

[SupraDarky]

The first one that came to mind is Forest of Monsters' bass line from Castlevania IV:


As well as Cool Edge (Night) from Sonic Unleashed:

 

[Ordinary Rock]

Tim Follin is usually good for this kind of thing.
