Vieogame music used to be great before cd technology. Game makers would push the bounderies of the limited sotfware & in turn create some truly unique tunes. Remember the Sonic the Hedgehog games? 1 & 2 had great music. Every zone had cool little chimes & drums to the point of every one sounded very different. I was one of those people that could go into the options & list every zone by ear. Unfortually, by the time 3 came out Sega had lost that magic. The Dreamcast Sonic games are horrible, generic techno/cheesy guitar crap.

Another series that had great music was the Steets of Rage games. Especially numer 2.

Oh, & remember Enternal Champions? Well, if your a metal fan & happen to come across the Sega CD version one day, buy it. It's worth it just to throw in your cd player & cruise to.

I've had the super mario brothers theme stuck in my head more times than I care to think about...

When I first got MarioLand for the gameboy I played it so much I used to hear the tune when I wasn't playing it... Not in my head, actually hear it.

vid game music is cool
Im surprised i havnt come across one of those best albums that was game tunes, it would prob sell as good as the best of commercial jingle and stuf like that

I've got a best of Legend of Zelda disc, I got it when I pre-ordered WindWaker. It > all.

i would love it i remember Zelda game tunes
The only game disc i have ever heard is mortal combat pretty lame hey

The Legend of Zelda had some of the best music on it. Nintendo should release a CD with all of their video game songs on it. Or let you go to a part of their site and make your own video game mix tape or somethin'....

congratulations for this wonderful thread!!
My favorites are :
- Sonic 3 (including S&K soundtrack)
- Sonic 2
- Ecco 2
- Rocket Knight
- Probotector (Contra)

I forgot Zelda 64 Ocarina Of Time!!!

one of the best super nintendo soundtracks is from that of:

Chrono Trigger

Also I think Finaly Fantasy has always had some good music!
