Video Game Music thread

[AnCap Dave]

I know there are a bunch of gamers on this forum, and if you're a gamer, chances are there are songs from video games that you enjoy. Post them in this thread. For the sake of not having massive posts with 10 billion songs, try to keep it to one song per post.

I'll start with a little gem from the Sega Master System, but first a bit of history.

Japan would release a game for the Sega Master System based on the popular anime, Fist of the North Star. When they decided to send this game out globally, they completely changed the character sprites, backgrounds, and even soundtrack so that it no longer resembled Fist of the North Star. They would release the game under the name of Black Belt.

Strangely enough, Black Belt would end up having the better boss theme than the original Japanese game had.

The music in the Earthbound series is pure win, especially the first one.

I always get a huge nostalgia boner when I listen to that song. As for me, I love the music of Grant Kirkhope. Here's one of my favorite songs from him.

"I am a shadow, the true self!  I will give you the truth that you claim to hold so dear.  The inescapable fact of your death here!"

Damn awesome game.  Play it or watch the animated series.

Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe has one of the best soundtracks to any game I've played in recent years.

LEMMINGS!!!

Fuck yeah Lemmings!

While it may be true that the original Lemmings relied a lot on public domain songs for its soundtrack, most of the original songs were pretty good too.

I LOVE the Sega Genesis version of this particular track:

I am a huge fan of Nobuo Uematsu.  There are too many of his to list but there is one that is by far my favorite.  No, it's not One-Winged Angel (even though the use of real voices and orchestra was groundbreaking at the time).  Dancing Mad for Final Fantasy 6 had an even bigger impact.  After I beat the game, I went back to the final battle and waited in the magic menu just to listen to it.  It is so great.  You can tell the composer was really having fun with it and giving it his all.  It is even better on a real concert organ.
