      Shadow of the Beast, all of them even but the first one, Amiga version of course, art better than life.

      It's true Cammy stage, imo the 3do/HSF2 AST version is a creamy pie.

      Real Bout Special CD uh hu....in fact Neo Geo CD is the system of choice imo for music.

      Bah, forgot Afterbuner 3 on Mega CD, magic rock.

        Also Ghouls n Ghosts, Afterburner 2 (still gives me goosebumps), Top Gear.
        Yeh I love the intro and stage 1 music in Top Gear. Simply fantastic tunes, and it's such a mediocre game otherwise.

        Other game music I really like:

        Hellfire (all of it)
        Gun Valkyrie (desert stages)
        Gleylancer
        SF3 3rd Strike ( all good, but mainly Urien's)
        The New Tetris
        El Viento (stage 1)
        Alisia Dragoon
        Raiden 1
        Gun Frontier
        Musha Aleste
        Samurai Shodown (all of them - intro to part IV is so good)
        Shikigami 2 (Stage 2)

          so many top tunes, anyway here are a couple of random ones...

          Peter Packrat (arcade): I'm thinking of the sort of whistley (spelling?) tune from stage one. Yes, it does become a bit testing after a while, but all in all, it's quite an uplifting little ditty. I tend to start playing this one out in my mind whenever I'm getting a bollocking from the boss. The intro music from MD Castle Of Illusion also makes everything seem okay.

          Pilotwings (SNES): Great music on this one (it's all very seventies porn movie), the title screen tune always makes me think of Friday afternoons, I really don't know why though.

          Kung-Fu Master (arcade): Once heard never forgotten, bonus points too for the insert coin sound effect.

            My favourites:

            Wave Race 64: Sooo upbeat and magical- love the voice-over guy too!

            F-Zero: Every track has a perfect fitting tune!

            F-Zero X: At first I was shocked at the guitar-metal sound, but then I realised it's excellent stuff!

            Pilot Wings: Have to agree.. the music is charming and funny!

            Contra 3: From the opening level, the tunes are action inspired perfection!

            Castlevania 4: Both haunting and exciting, brilliant work!

            Actraiser: Definines what the Snes is capable of- totally majestic!

            Axelay: The first level has a classic tune, and the rest of the game is blessed with brilliance too!

            Sonic 1: I love every tune.. probably my favourite MD music.

            Streets Of Rage: The first level tune is .. pure fighting heaven throughout!

            Castle Of Illusion: Magical dream-like tunes that make the game unforgettable!

            Daytona USA: I like the tunes sooo much I have a CD that I listen too all the time!

            Ridge Racer: So upbeat and happy.. the tunes in this bring back so many great memories!

            Tekken 1: My favourite Tekken tunes are in the first version... there is something magically old-skool about them.


            Game music is a passion of mine- great music makes a game complete!

                  The ending theme to Link to the Past is quite ace too.
                  And I really like the Rainbow Road theme from Mario 64, as well as the ending theme.
                  And the travelling theme from Illusion of Time is lovely and guitary and whistley. Shame you have to listen to the spc to get anything out of it, coz in the game you don't get to hear very much at all.

                      Excellent thread, vertigo.

                      I could go on all day with this - but I won't. I'm going to try and follow the rules and be unusual and different if I can.

                      Soul Edge/Blade (PS, Arcade) - Surely one of the great Namco soundtracks? The stage music for Hwang and Rock - awesome.

                      Pop 'n' Twinbee (SNES/SFC) - This underrated (imo) shoot-em-up took a lot of flak back in the day, but the music is excellent. Level 2, in particular, is highly recommended.

                      Soccer Brawl (Neo-Geo) - I like the music that accompanies the 'you win' screen at the end of each match. Nice, cheerful fanfare that gives you a sense of accomplishment.

                      Raiden (PCE, Arcade) - Excellent music from start to finish. The 'Continue' music is always a head-bopper.

                      Ridge Racers (PSP) - excellent recreations of classic Rigde Racer tunes - just be sure to listen with headphones!!

                      Lumines (PSP) - God bless Eri Nobuchika & Mondo Grosso!!

                      Super Street Fighter 2 X (Arcade) - the tune for the title screen with Ryu, Akuma, Chun-Li & Cammy is awesome - it ALWAYS stops me dead in my tracks whenever I hear it.

                      Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou (PCE Super CD ROM) - High-quality synth renditions of classic Gradius tunes. Put the CD in your stereo and see what I mean.

                      I could come up with more, but I'll just put them up on another post on this fine thread.

                        It's not that hard to learn those songs in real life. All trilling with a few scales here and there. Nothing much to remember.
