Which games have the best music?

[Rastignac]

I heard the theme from California Games for the first time yesterday. It was the first time I'd heard anyone do something so complex in a 2600 game.

I don't understand the big difference between PAL and NTSC version of this music. Why the programmers did that? (I prefer PAL music).

Suprised nobody has mentioned Double Dragon which has excellent renditions of all the arcade games tunes. Definately my favourite 2600 music

 

*CTRL+F "double dragon", so I don't have to be "that guy" who's always harping on and on about #!*^ing Double Dragon*

 

It has some great music. Especially when you get through more and more of the game. Lots of impressive music, even if the loops are repetitive. There are loads of games I haven't played, but DD probably has one of the best 2600 soundtracks I've found so far. (I'm sure a bunch of games on this list are probably equally awesome.)
