Awesome Video Game Music

[Monkfish]

Wanted to start a thread where all the best music from awesome games can be collected, i'll start the ball rolling with this - "Galvanic Gear" from the Megadrive/Genesis game M.U.S.H.A. (Aleste):

I recommend the Ingame Music from Tricky Quicky Games.

Amiga Version (better than the PC Version)

Enjoy the Music from the Levels ^_^

Real composers making real music for a full-length fan game project. Also the sequel just came out and it also has a original soundtrack, but we're waiting for the soundtrack release. It's not retro sounding for the most part but I would say give it a try anyways.

Here's a few, completely random offerings..

Something recent (but fantastic imho)

Amiga version of Dune 1 had music that I still enjoy right now, but it's kinda hard to find the music rendered by actual amiga hardware on youtube.

These ones seem "legit" :

There are quite a few remix more or less good.

A game I played a lot as a child which seems to be pretty obscure now.

Croc 2 has one of my favorite soundtracks

Where to begin, the C64 & the Amiga had some of the best tunes ever.

Rob Hubbard - Monty on the Run Theme [C64]

Turrican II Amiga

I am utterly disappointed in this thread. How y'all gonna mention "video game music" and not have some MFin' Panzer Dragoon?!?!?!

I've heard lots of really good video game music.  It's really hard to choose what I think is best.  I have played a few games recently that had music by Jake Kaufman, and I think he's very talented.  He makes both modern and retro style music.  Ultionus (which is basically a Phantis reboot) has some really good retro tunes, and the Bloodrayne Betrayal soundtrack has some nice rockin' gothic tunes that sound a lot like something you would hear in Castlevania (which is a good thing in my case... I love the music in Castlevania).  He's done a lot of other good game tunes, too... Shantae, Double Dragon Neon, Mighty Switch Force, etc.

Here's a link to his bandcamp site if you are interested: http://virt.bandcamp.com/

Here is one of my favorites. The funny thing is it doesn't really fit the theme of the ruins at all but it was a really awesome song. I guess it was like a suspense builder as you slowly reached the end of the game.
