Hey folks,

What sort of music makes you think of naval combat? Do you listen to any music while playing and if so, what do you listen to?

What movie soundtracks go best with naval warfare?

Thanks!

Besides the obvious of Victory at Sea. I usually listen to whatever I am in the mood for. Classic rock, Classical music, big band, Jazz, Blues, R&B.
 
If AGS is looking at adding a musical sound track to the Harpoon games, I would see what code changes that would allow the player to import thier own MP3's into the game. I have seen a number of other games allow the player to do that if they wanted to listen to thier own music while playing a game. If not that then maybe having something some music along the same genre as Sousa's music

I usually play 3 soundtracks whilst playing naval games. Crimson Tide soundtrack, Master and Commander soundtrack, and the Homeworld soundtrack.

Can't say that I listen to theme specific music while playing, rather a mix of classical, techno (90's techno), pop.

I usually watch TV or a movie while playing Harpoon. (Yes, I am that talented). [:D] [:'(]

I've always been partial to the opening music in the old 3.6.X version.

Ok none of it goes together unless you're me, but hey you might like something on today's playlist at the HUD3 bunker...
