Retro game music thread :D

[Hazy992]

I love me some retro game music so I thought it would be cool if we shared some of our favourites

Spoiler: Labyrinth Zone - Sonic 1

Spoiler: Chemical Plant Zone - Sonic 2

Spoiler: Go Straight - Streets of Rage 2

Spoiler: Rainbow Road - Super Mario Kart

Spoiler: Moon Theme - Duck Tales

Spoiler: Dr Wily Stage 1 - Mega Man 2

Spoiler: Act 1 - Ninja Gaiden

Spoiler: Ken's Theme - Street Fighter 2

Also, does the Dreamcast count as retro? Because Sonic Adventure 2 is one of my favourite soundtracks

Spoiler

Yeah it's cheesy as hell but it's awesome

So anyway, share your favourites!

You also forgot a crucial part of the Labyrinth Zone music. The part that is repeated every 30 seconds or so when you're drowning

Amiga (Could produce some really expressive sounds)

I came here to recommend so many Sonic soundtracks, but they've all already been done.

Here's an absolute favourite that surprisingly hasn't been mentioned yet:

Spoiler: Hydrocity Zone

Captcha: You Rock!

No, it's the song that rocks!

 

[The Wykydtron]

I don't even know whether 2001 is considered truly retro at all... Fuck it

 

[Sean Hollyman]

Oh damn son, shit's about to go down to a whole new level.

 

[CruisingForBiddies]

Earthbound had some fantastic tunes in it... Really set the mood for the locations and worked well with the characters and tone of the game.
Also... Not really retro but definitely retro-inspired, Fez had a soundtrack that made my ears weep tears of joy.

 

[WoW Killer]

Also, does the Dreamcast count as retro?

I didn't realise SNES/Megadrive counted as retro

Still, these Megaman X tunes are making me warm and giggly. I went and searched for "Spark Mandrill guitar" and found this:

Thumbs up if you recognise every single note of it.
