Classic Video Game Ringtones
I’m a huge fan of classic video game music. In addition to being incredibly catchy and pulling hard on the old nostalgia strings, classic game tracks are perfect for mobile phone ring tones since they also have this certain “tension” that alerts you but isn’t over the top or annoying. Video game death sounds also make great SMS alerts.
Right now I’m using Castlevania’s “Bloody Tears” for incoming call alerts. It’s so awesome I keep calling myself just to hear it.
There are countless other games with tracks that make excellent ring tones: here is one site where you can download mp3 loops of NES games to upload to your mobile.
Update
- River City Ransom’s Boss Theme makes a great personalized ringtone for your boss’s phone number.
- Street Fighter 2 and Contra have ringtone written all over them.
Awesomes! Whoever made that site deserves a webbie award or somethings.
Whenever people call me now, I’ll be flashed back to the opening jungle scene in Contra. Hope I can keep it together.

OH
Comments moderated? They shouldn’t be… I did just recently update to WP 2.8 though, so let me know if anything weird is happening.
