But I think I speak for everyone when I pledge my allegiance to Yoshihiro
Sakaguchi's 1989 theme music for the Moon level in DuckTales for the NES.

Here it is performed live on the Chipophone.


For sure, one of the best of classic chiptune/8-bit/ etc scores. I can dig on the old school of the originals, but I gotta admit that I do love a good cover:

OP thanks for sharing MGS2 soundtrack, it's one of my all time favourite games - I would add every MGS until MGS4 soundtrack

Here's from fifa 2004:



Hitman 2


I've played so many games that I would spend hours thinking about memorable themes.

Kudos for whoever posted the song from Morrowind.

Been listening to Streets of rage OST lately.

(I've corrected Carpe Mortem's youtube link below so that all can enjoy it. An excellent remix, indeed.)

I could probably upload a good chunk of the NES and SNES catalogs, and a few other selections all the way up to PS3 (I stopped after that).

Sticking with just NES for this post:

Time Lord



Interestingly, David Wise is the composer for Time Lord. He's the same guy who did the Donkey Kong soundtrack and a number of other classic games. According to Wikipedia, he was discovered by the Rare founders while he was demoing a Yamaha CX5 Music Computer in a music shop where he worked.

Blaster Master



^^ Very good game. Always remember the frog scene at the beginning and then the blast-off in the tank where it transitions into this song.

Snake Rattle 'n Roll



^^ David Wise, again. Fun but very hard game.

And I'd be remiss not to mention Tetris. All three songs to that game are ace:



Spoiler for other two Tetris songs:

LOVE the music of SR&R! It's a love I generally reserve for... well... everything Capcom has ever touched. But Marble-Madness-with-snakey-tongues was awesome.

Very catchy music, indeed. It does have a similar layout to Marble Madness, now that I take a look at it. Probably couldn't beat either without Game Genie. :cool:

@Overcast: The Journey to Silius--I missed that one back then. That game does have good music.

This song really takes me back.
You hear it alot in the beginning of the game and it somehow fits the characters student life perfectly.





This one is just beautiful and marks a crucial point in the FF10 game

Honestly you can arbitrarily pick almost any song from any FF game and they're all good but more than good, memorable for always fitting the atmosphere of the games
