Gaming Ringtones

Mr E

Does anyone currently use game music as a ringtone on their phone (or sound effects/jingles for notifications)?
Modern games have fantastic music (and I'm not averse to a good chip tune either).

My current ringtone (for the last month or so) is this track from Hotline Miami. It's the music played when you finish a level.

Grayditch

My friend has the codec sound from Metal Gear Solid as his ringtone and the surprise alert tone for messages.

Used to use the Nexus music from Demon's Souls as my alarm clock sound

Gunmonkey

Got a new phone less than a month ago so was trying to come up with the same idea....and I got nothing

Just end up thinking of the usual LoZ sounds or such, wanted something a bit more original. Best I could come up with was Welkins "Squad 7...move out" for a message tone, but probably get sick of it after 5 minutes.

Kiith

Had the Mario coin sound for my messages for a while, but that's about it. I tend to end up hating the song on my ringtone or alarm, so never really put good music on it.

Clover

Have a Portal one on my phone for a few years now , use it for messages mostly.

ancapailldorcha

I use "The Man with the Machine Gun" for calls and "Victory Fanfare (FFXIII)" for messages.

gizmo

Currently have Claptrap "Haha!" as my message tone and his dubstep song as my ring tone. You can grab them and a bunch of others here.

deathrider

I have the Jigglypuff song from the first Pokémon game as my text tone.

I do use the metal gear sounds as well haha. Most people have no idea what it is.

krudler

have the "da da dahdahhh!" Zelda chest opening as my text alert.

Agricola

Yeah MGS codec for me too. I have it as my ringtone for so long now that whenever Im watching something MGS related, like a youtube vid, and the codec plays, I get a little jolt and look at my phone!

Mr.Saturn

That Game Boy start-up notification tone on the iPhone drove me bonkers for a bit. I kept hearing on all sorts of public transport, and would spend the next 10 minutes looking around like a goof trying to spot the awesome soul enjoying a bit of portable 8-bit goodness.

Mind, if you've ever taken a tube to Camden, an original Game boy isn't an uncommon sight to behold. Of course, the only answer is to whip out a GBA SP AGS-101, and throw out a 'you're doing it wrong' look. Sadly, I've only got an AGS-001, but it did the trick.

I've been using this track from Ghost Trick for the last year or so as my ringtone. It plays when the character you are supposed to saving is 3 (in game) seconds away from death, which is the cue for the player to start panicking!

I'm pretty used to it now, but for the first few days I found myself scrambling to answer the phone, experiencing a profound feeling of oh****-oh****-oh****! Especially so when I was waiting on a call for a phone interview.

I have the Metal Gear Solid Alert! for my notifications/text messages and have Zelda Gerudo Valley as my ringtone. I like it because it starts off pretty low volume and then gets louder. Unbelievable tune too.

jaxdasher

Chocobo theme.

Creamy Goodness

"I saw a deer today" as my ringtone, but in fairness my phone is rarely off silent.

Potential-Monke

Currently using Deus Ex: Human Revolution Main Theme as my ringtone, but i like to change them depending on what i have most interest in at the moment.

Have used Ozar Midrashim from Soul Reaver, SMB3 (Overworld, Underworld, Undersea, Star Power (coin collect for messages)), Tomb Raider Theme, Age of Empires 2 Theme, and others.

My desktop log-in is the Playstation 1 log-in. Wish i could set that as my start-up and the disc start-up as the log-in, perfectly timing the 2 together! Alas, Win 7.

Zero-Cool

I have the Final Fantasy VII Boss fight song as ringtone

I use Crazy Frog from Crazy Frog Racer on the PS2.

Mr E

Can I ban a co-mod for bad taste?

Mr E

Just giving this a little bump to see if anyone has anything new!

I won't clog up the thread with static videos, but click through to have a listen.

My last 3 ringtones (after Hotline Miami from the OP) were:

1. Mario and Luigi Dream Team Bros Battle Music

2. The hub music from Duck Tales Remastered.

3. For River (Sarah & Tommy's Version) from To The Moon (a lovely piece of music for a ringtone - I actually got asked a few times what it was).

... and my current ringtone is Kitty Rock from Aqua Kitty.

J. Marston

Nice! Cool choon that gets straight to the point.

Stone Deaf 4evr

Kinda gaming related - I use the Giant Bombcast theme for my ringtone , I used to have the "YEAH!" that marcus fenix from gears of war says when you get a perfect active reload for texts.

ProjectColossus

I'm playing a lot of Crypt of the Necrodancer recently, lots of great Danny B tracks. My next ringtone will probably be coming out of that OST, having used samples from Super Meat Boy and Canabalt in the past.

Angron

Using this for the alarm on my phone

I actually just Googled it and found it on Reddit shortly after my original post, so it's been my tone for a few days (and makes me laugh every time). Still though, I appreciate the effort

Generic Dreadhead

Was just thinking, you know what i'd like to use as my sound for unlocking my phone (if i did have it active that is) would be the sound of opening the menu in Resident Evil one, that "plip" sound

Angron

I have "Heyo!" for notifications now too :pac:

I used Mario and Tetris themes as ringtones for a while. Also had the agility orb from Crackdown as a text alert. No custom themes on my current phone, plus it's mainly kept on silent.
