favourite video game song?

[hateshadow]

I know I already mentionned Donkey Kong's Music but listening to all the songs from Final Fantasy games people posted made me think of this one that I particularly love:

Which is the Final Boss Battle of Final Fantasy 2 for Super Nintendo.

I've always liked that one too, as well as Magus' theme.

Since most of the real stuff has been posted, figure I'll throw some remixed/tribute stuff out there. Machinae Supremacy's a weird ass band (I mean let's face it, pseudo metal with C64 sounds embedded in it is just plain weird) but some of the remixed snippets of older songs are pretty solid.

Should be able to pick up a ton of old C64 tracks on there, some that are newer, I think in one of the later tracks there's some FZero, Castlevania, Megaman, etc, but not on the particular one I linked. Fun band as a diversion if you're into that kinda crap.

In a non 'classic' vein, the Silent Hill OSTs are simply amazing at times. Some of the tracks on there are absolutely fantastic and don't really seem like they belong on a game soundtrack. They're also pretty damned diverse as there are vocals in I think 3 different languages between them all and there are a ton of instrumental only that are all over the place. Couple links for those. As far as fitting the mood of the game/environment....I think this series is kinda unmatched.

When i was like 10, i used to leave the game on with this song on, i found it eerie and charming:

I will always love the Legend of Zelda theme song. It was also the first game of it's type I have ever played.

As far as badass music (for the time) Ninja Gaiden for Nintendo. The first one had so much good 8-bit music in each level. I hear people ripping that stuff off to this day.

I hate and love Machinae just like I hate and love Dragonforce. Also Silent Hill great to play eq to.

(Hey Jay, did you click my Minibosses link above?)
...now I wait for someone to point out that I've mentioned them 3 times in this thread. Go ahead. Do it.
