Megaman X - Password Screen - Extended

[@Flower_Mom]

The world I grew up in doesn't exist anymore but at least there's things like this song that remind me it once did.

[@jasonbrazen3732]

Same 😔 But yes thank goodness for KZbin 😁

[@iggy3200]

Ouch right in the feels.

[@aschlamishowsup]

Isn't that why we're all here? Nostalgia is bittersweet. I kind of miss the simplicity of the old technology. The glowing box TV at night, illuminating a corner of the room, that faint high pitched sound it makes when it's humming with power, complimented by the chirping crickets outside the window. Hearing the dial tone on the phone, the tether to someone far away, the possibility of reaching from one jar of isolation to another. Or, riding in an old truck on a dark highway, the radio cutting in and out with static and a few glowing lights on the dash, wind hitting the window. I can relate to our elders, sitting in their chair listening to the radio while we found that to be quite dull 😅

[@jaredmalerin]

Man, this hit me right in the heart. How right you are.

A password screen has no reason to slap this hard

[@bartosh2010]

This song perfectly captures nostalgia. Sadness longing for a long lost simple happiness.

[@julion3814]

woooow, true philosopher

[@pedalstingray2303]

It’s a sad song

[@leonamferreira8053]

Man you described exactly how I feel every time I hear this song 😇😇

[@anticosm4514]

I always found this tune to be sort of melancholy. Still love it.

[@Jmoneyvitamin]

I wish there was a pass word to go back to this moment as child with brothers and sister. Hmm seems long ago but not far away.

[@ndr_32]

This for me represents exactly what saudade feels like. Melancholically longing for happiness with something/someone from the past or far away from you, or that you know will never return. But it's happy and sad at the same time, it makes you smile because you revive such moments, but at the same time cry because you want them right now and you know it's not possible.

[@jaredmalerin]

I couldn't agree more.

[@airbagabe]

It's hard to live in the moment, but it's worth striving for. Try not to be sad about the past.

[@billie0429]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who loved this soundtrack

[@MrFree006]

The feeling is international my friends. A gamer from El Salvador.

[@JoeyCannoli]

Easily the best password theme in the series.

[@jisabmars]

Best one ever, sorry capcom cannot give us anything better these days outside of SF games.

[@gorky1982]

when I'm depressed and need something to lift me up, this song got my back. life continues.

[@TJDW]

Back when times were simpler and great

[@Flea_ip]

I long for these days.. a time before Facebook, KZbin, Instagram.. where instead of wasting away online every day, I curled up with my SNES and experienced the wonder of the 16-bit era... sigh.

[@nikolacatlak9875]

You wish you could go back?

[@Neku787]

Instead of wasting time online we could waste time in the matrix world of the SNES era.

[@OiSaulo]

Once again, I'm here listening to it. So many memories come flooding back when I hear this melody. A song that, at the time, I never imagined would become so powerful to hear every single time from then on. To everyone who's here listening, be strong!

[@darkstarXSI]

oh boy , i love this theme , i actually had it on my cell as ringtone, thanks!

[@SandwitchZebra]

To me this represents the game reassuring you that this time, you’ll be able to get farther, or you’ll beat that one stage you’ve been stuck on. Not really melancholy, but more of a soft encouragement that you’ll eventually get to the end, even if it takes a password to do it. “We know it’s hard, but you’ll get there eventually! Keep going!”

[@erasmoarispe2658]

Que nostalgia el encontrarse con esta melodía. Que recuerdos de una niñez exelente. Grande megaman X ....

[@Qrafter]

Hello, new ringtone!

[@juniorrivas9277]

Ese sonido es lo máximo :( , Mi infancia

[@SLAPJACKS83]

I think what's so great about this song is the contrast. You have this hopeful and happy upbeat tune on the bottom, but over the top you have this beautiful melancholic synth. That synth is what makes this one an absolute homerun!

[@gopats85]

This tune still plays out in my head when I’m at work some times. Brings back my childhood of playing this on SNES and renting it from Blockbuster and then my dad eventually buying it for me. Ahh nostalgia.

[@ExTrA_Live_]

Sittin at work and this song randomly starts playing in my head. Haven’t played in over 10 years 😂💯

[@ExTrA_Live_]

And we are back. Gettin ready for work and i hear this magical piece playing in my head lol

[@danielpacheco4293]

Me traslada a los cimientos de mi infancia, es increíble, gracias por subirlo.

[@leahcheng-sigma1875]

Nostalgia! Still alive in my mind and heart. I was 17yoa when I played this video game as speed run gamer. I can never ever move on even though life goes on. Lifelong lasting loveliest memory to me... I'm still loving MegaMan X. 💘 🥰

[@leahcheng-sigma1875]

One of my playlist in my mobile phone year model 2022.

[@CyanideSublime]

The GOAT of password themes.

[@RaulSmith]

Whoever said video game music can't make you feel things needs to listen to this

[@CTrain822]

I still remember where I was when I beat this game the first time. Crazy to think that was nearly 30 years ago :/

[@Aquiori]

🌟

[@BudChester]

Damals war's einfach schön! Hauptsache man vergisst diese Zeiten nicht und man hat das richtige Passwort! Danke für eines der besten Memory Keeper meiner Zeit!Mega Thx👌😌🙏❤️‍🔥

[@MoonSarito]

This is so nostalgic for me.

[@Raider8784]

Man this is instantly takes me back to my childhood. I'm so lucky to have had an SNES.

[@天冥-m6u]

X1のパスワードの最後の方って「なあ〜サブロー♪なあサブロー♪今日家行って良い〜？♪なあ〜お願い、お願い、頼むよ〜♪」って感じするの私だけ？？ それか最後の方だけでも「頼むよ〜♪」みたいに聞こえるのよね…

[@fabianlagosmadrid6346]

Me encanta esta canción, generalmente la reproduzco cuando estoy leyendo algún libro interesante

[@jaimebautista7508]

Uno de mis momentos desesperantes en las maquinitas pero está canción la amo

[@chikiitoplay]

Cansion god 😊

[@danielwelch8600]

I was way too young to understand complex thoughts when I first played this game. I was about 7 but even at that age this song struck me with the sense of the bitter sweet passage of time. That growing up means we’ll get to experience new things, at the cost of our childhood and ourselves to some degree. I would purposefully leave this menu open just to listen to the song.

[@MrFree006]

I like it that I am not the only who thinks this music is deep and meaningful.

[@StalinBrosef]

In one of the houses we lived in while growing up there was this big TV in the basement, it was one of those old ones built into a wooden housing with the physical tint brightness and contrast knobs and one of those "don't touch that dial" dials for changing channels that was way out of date by the early 90s when I was a kid. I would play this game a lot in my early childhood and one of my memories of a lazy saturday morning is of me playing this game, getting a game over and laying on the carpet in front of that big TV and just listening to the password screen after a game over, and falling asleep to the soothing melody.

[@fahadaljuwaisri5352]

At 37 .. Listening to this with my daughter beside me. Time passes to fast.

[@ukickmeikicku]

This is a jam still!!! I played this game when i was 6 and memorized everything! I was whistling this song at work today and had to come find it!! Such good memories even though this screen would infuriate me back in the day 😈😝

[@leonandyson8490]

Eu amo demais essa música, foi minha infância. Mega man x

[@TBONE_2004]

This is on par with Mega Man 3's password screen!

[@Oscade272]

Password screens, those were the days!

[@reesejohnson3575]

I love this song. This could play for hours and I would not care

[@jinkim8196]

Something about this, takes me back..

[@davidhill8565]

This is back when I was in school, back when I was in the 8th grade. I first played this game and heard this song back in the last days of my 8th grade school year, after my family of origin and I came home from my paternal uncle’s funeral held in Detroit, Michigan, which is a 14 hour drive north from home. I was 14 years old when this game first came out. Mega Man X was released in Japan during Mrs. Doubtfire’s theatrical run. It was released in North America shortly after the Christmas break from school. By the end of my 8th grade school year, it was released in Europe. Mega Man X was published by the developer Capcom in Japan and North America, and by Nintendo in Europe.

[@darkjackson666]

Isso é lindo pra caralho mano❤❤❤❤

[@nikolacatlak9875]

I've found a safe haven. Greetings my fellow rockmanners ✋️

[@JazzyDK5000]

Ahh. Trying to emulate megaman x on my school Chromebook in 3rd grade. Not as old as some people but this game is a fantastic miracle.

[@Arturock85]

Que recuerdos 🥺😭

[@excrono]

Feels like a callback to MM3 where a non-robot master or boss theme is the dark horse best track the OST. Take a guess on that MM3 track.

[@jaimebautista7508]

Esta canción la traigo de timbre de llamada

[@Miracle_Puppy]

Sounds like something The Smiths would compose

[@MadameSomnambule]

Now that you mention it, it does have a slight early 80s new wave vibe going on.

[@Mooch2myLoO]

Id go onto the password menu just to hear this song loop. And still couldn't figure it out til today on how to exit it without resetting the system or turning off the power 😂

[@mezaruizandres6294]

I used to stare at this for many minutes when I was a kid

[@koldoriobarbosa4703]

In videogames, the password was never a word 😗

[@koldoriobarbosa4703]

Well, sometimes it was... 🤔

[@koldoriobarbosa4703]

Low G Man "SCRD" 😂

[@christophercruz8418]

I love this sad song

[@Mr.Murphy2]

I imagine X sitting down and crying over a picture of Rush and Beat. Two friends he will never see again. At 0:19 he pulls out his buster and shoots himself in the head. Blood pours out from his face to the picture in his hand while the rest of the music plays.

[@marcusmeins1839]

i typed password theme and this showed up XD

[@marcoismaelomonterodriguez6341]

I loved 😢

[@symphonyoflife8037]

Yup I died again 😆 🤣....Man we are old happy gaming gamers...

[@CyrusMcWin-bd3sl]

Where all the main characters and even the villains all running together while the credits roll. As if it was a Mario bros 3. Game or something.

[@TrashQueenAndKing]

People trying to out sadboi each other in the comments instead of talking about the parts of the game where they saw this screen the most

[@eliazarmatamala7212]

Meda mucha nostalgia la verdad, esta musica es lo máximo ❤

[@Cup_Cak8]

Are u okay? 10 years :/

[@agirityoki624]

Hay un Nudo en garganta, quiero llorar pwq

*DANCING METALLS* ⛑️⛑️⛑️

[@mightymadness5355]

GROOVY!

[@ala_negra]

This song represents the struggle of X.

[@FruitBubble-ku1no]

Indeed….such a masterpiece 🫶

[@FruitBubble-ku1no]

Indeed…..such a masterpiece 🫶

[@davidhill8565]

This could work for the quickstep dance route on Dancing With the Stars.

[@maxwellgraves635]

I think I'm gonna have this played at my funeral one day

[@maxwellgraves635]

Yeah like right at the end when it's time to leave yknow?

[@theedwardian]

Very Strokesy

[@Zlexor]

🤟😻

[@VanillaDesu1]

im sure someday password will be back again

[@BaxterAndLunala]

Not gonna lie, this theme is pretty good, but honestly, was it really necessary to keep the password system for XLC? You ask me, not really.

[@QuackotheSmacko]

How do you make these?

[@MiguelFelixmunguia]

chida 😢

[@TBONE_2004]

Is there a password to unlock the Light Armor early?

[@sebastianhernandezvazquez4922]

What is password for?

[@kitsune20xx]

to continue the progress "where you left off". i put it in quotes cause theres time the password wont have to the same progress you were in the game before shutting it off and also back then, most games rely on passwords and battery backup in cartridges were expensive during the time to add save features before the cds and later on with gaming where it is more common

[@scottythegreat1]

Games were put on cartridge hardware back until the mid 1990s because disks had reliability issues back then. It made games more expensive, combined with a chip shortage because Nintendo games became more popular. Games were costing $70 (thats about $170 when adjusted for inflation) It would cost another $10/$15 to put battery back up into a cartridge, and it didnt matter if the game cost more to manufacture, you still got the same amount for a game because people would buy a cheaper game without the ability to save the game. Whats worse for the publisher is that they assumed all the risk, so if the games didnt sell as well as you thought, youd be stuck with the loss because the manufacturer (Nintendo) wanted the money up front. If they sold well, and you didnt anticipate it, youd have to wait a few weeks for a new order of cartridges. Konami and Capcom (among others) put passwords into games to make the process cheaper. Although Capcom also made the manufacturing process more expensive for Mega Man X2 and X3 by getting Nintendo to add Capcom's own CX4 chip to the cartridge to enhance the graphics capability of the characters in the game. Cartridges were a good way to make loading times faster and to add custom hardware to a game to keep the lifecycle of a console going longer, but its also much more expensive to manufacture, so console manufacturers moved over to CD disk systems and in most game consoles added a port to the console to put all of your saved game into (which the customer has to buy rather than the game publisher).
