Every single games that we ever played might left many memories in the gameplay, storyline and even the music theme. Some old-school games had awesome music themes that aren't unforgettable till now. Hence, in this post, here five tunes as memorable video games music for me.

1. Balamb Garden Theme - Final Fantasy 8 (Psx)

It brings back my memories in the end of 90s when I saw the game as the best graphic video game ever that day which also regarded as the one of greatest rpg games in Psx. Balamb Garden is one of major place in the game, the musical theme when you visit the place was so memorable, I can't describe another word for this. So listen this tune in the sunny day on your room repeat. Its relaxful and profit!

2. Top Gear Track 1 Themes (SNES)

Whenever you play in the first stage of this racing games. The tune was poisonous that would inject your brain to memorise the tune. For me, this is unforgettable one. I remember when I was kid, I have seen  some kids play this game in the mid of 90s. The tune was some up-beat and made your 16bit adrenaline high.

3. Sonic 1 Stage theme (Genesis)

Playing the first Sonic game on genesis console ten years ago left one tune that still stuck on my head. Its first stage theme which remind me on sunny day in the genesis rental place on my neigh boor, there wasn't save game, so every kid had played the game might be remember the tune like me in repeating first stage.

4. Contra First Stage theme (Nes)

Contra is the most difficult shooter game ever on the Nes era, but kids still play it, the first stage theme is also hard to forget. I remember that they were always stuck in the same stage but never get bored to repeat over and over again.

5. What is yours?

I think there are some video music themes that you may remember, you can share yours here. Anyway, I still play all those games for fun only, except for Final Fantasy, ain't no time for dat!

Visit South Borneo 2013

Tourism industry in Indonesia is just rising to the another level, not only Bali and Yogyakarta as culture tourism, Lombok and Raja Ampat as natural tourism industry, but there are many potential regions in Indonesia. I won't say that South Borneo is the only potential one.

What does South Borneo have in tourism industry? The culture and nature. On the culture, South Borneo has Banjar culture and Dayak culture which regardes as native cultures in Borneo land. But are same same root, but they are different in  many aspects on social living. Banjar people (Banjarese) mostly live in the city while most of Dayak people live in the  forest of South borneo.

On the nature, this region has different interesting nature places that many people dont know. Here, i made a list about the places in South Borneo.

• Banjarmasin

Martapura River Waterfront
Sabilal Muhtadin Mosque
Sultan Suriansyah Mosque and Tomb    
Pasar Terapung Kuin
Pasar Terapung Lok Baintan

• Batola

Barito Bridge
Rumpiang Bridge
Kembang Island
Kaget Island

• Banjarbaru

Diamond Traditional Mining Cempaka
Pine Forest
Lambung Mangkurat Museum

• Martapura

Al-Fatihah Park
Kahung Hill
Riam Kanan Reservoirs
Cahaya Bumi Selamat Diamond Market
Al-Mukarramah Mosque
Traditional House Teluk Selong
Bajuin Waterfall

• Tanah Laut

Batakan Beach
Pagatan Beach
Datu Island
Takisung Beach
Kayangan Hill

• Rantau

Batu Hapu Cave
Beramban Cave
Laras Temple

• Kandangan

Loksado Forest Trekking
Bamboo Rafting
Haratai Waterfall
Kentawan Mountain         
Tanuhi Hotspring

• Kota Baru

Sebuku Island
Haur Island
Gosong Island
Gedambaan Beach
Angsana Beach
Tamiyang Beach
Sebelimbingan Waterfall
Meranti Mountain

Most of those places even aren't unpopular by Banjarese themselves, its because tourism industry is not the one of biggest industry here. The government tends to be more welcome to the investors who want to exploit coal mining and palm oil plantation.
