Meh.  Average.  And does it even say "Batman" to you?

Does it matter?  You asked for our favorite classic game music.  Well there it is.  I like the soundtrack for the whole game.  Ninja Gaiden is another.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you posted it.  And I was just asking for favourites.  But there's no harm in a little back and forth discussion about the merits and demerits of whatever people post.  I welcome it.  Feel free to be critical about my picks as well.

[Eltigro]

Some of my faves...

[TwinChargers]

Heres a few of my favorites, although I could understand where a few people could see some of these as repetative-







And although there are PLENTY of good songs in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, this one always comes to mind-

[DemonoidTentacle]

Terribly underrated game that is finally getting some love in recent times

[thegoldenband]

Three of my absolute favorites from the SNES:

A few more SNES favorites:





(not a great game, but a brilliant soundtrack)



(all the "night" themes from Drakkhen are incredibly ambient and spacious)



(this song reminds me of "Rio" by Duran Duran, somehow)

And to balance things out a bit, two favorites from the Genesis:

Alternate Reality: The City/Dungeon on A8

I tried playing this in MAME the other day, but the sound emulation isn't working properly.

Yeah goldenband, Drakkhen had some seriously spooky music.

[Skarrj]

Quake

[Intellivisioner]

Like this main title from Powermonger very much:

I like quite a few but this one has been tops recently.

I much prefer the Genesis version:

[RJ]

For pure "catchiness" it's Gyromite all the way. I play a game of that & I'm still humming the tune hours later.

[BillyHW]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned California Games on the Atari Lynx and Tetris on the Gameboy.  Pretty epic music in both games.

[Tr3vor]

A revival!

a worthy one too. I got a Sound Blaster 16 for my pentium computer, and started playing Tyrian 2000... awesome music!
I think it sounds a LOT better on the real thing though, especially with a sub-woofer

[Hitachi]

what's the matter with you guys??!?!?!?! The all time best hasn't been mentioned yet.

That sounds kinda eerie in the middle of the night...

[BillyHW]

This has to be the absolute worst:

[rmaerz]

Reactor

[Tr3vor]

Can Gamecube games count too?

I love Kirby AirRide:

[GideonsDad]

The battle music from Final Fantasy (NES).  All of the music from Dragon Warrior (NES), except the opening title.
