remix of the Amiga version. Best version!

 

[bushmins]

Heres a few that come to mind. The last one is Kirill Pokrovsky, anything by him is by far the best I have heard. Also the whole Capsized sound track is worth listening to.
The c64/Amiga ones are probably just nostalgic.

This is 4 tracks, i like the one that starts at about 10mins.

Xenon 2 - Megablast (Amiga CD32 version)

 

[Guest2]

Loasd of games on Amiga have great muisc - Turrican, PP Hammer and Shadow of the beast come to mind.

Need for speed 2 SE had some fantastic tracks

Civ V has some devastatingly beautiful original music, some of my favourites below:

Sid Meier's Civilization V Soundtrack - Field Of Poppies

Sid Meier's Civilization V Soundtrack - Ellipse

Sid Meier's Civilization V Soundtrack - Elegy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwqZIIVTrkk

Also can't mention Civ music without the brilliant Baba Yetu by Christopher Tin which served as the intro music for Civ IV

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Mechwarrior 2 yet

Love this soundtrack, espcially Arkham Bridge! Also happy to see Streets of Rage 2 and Total Annihilation getting so much love, absolute classics both.

The main theme for Dragon Age Origins also deserves a mention, so evocative!

My favourites have to be the BF 2 loading screen music, they each had their own feel.

I started gaming way back in the Commodore 64 and i'm all that I time I have probably played 1000's of games but I can not remember one sound track at all. But then I don't listen to music.

A few of my personal favourites:

Bastion
Frozen Synapse + Red expansion
Crypt of the Necrodancer
There Came An Echo
Hotline Miami (both games)
Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin (free from http://ff6.ocremix.org/)

Some samples:

I could only find the entire soundtrack for There Came An Echo, but it's worth it!

No Bastion samples as the songs are so integral to the game you should play it before you listen to them!

I'll stop there as I could post game music for hours!

Command and conquer.

World of Warcraft (particularly Grizzly Hills)

 

[DisrupTor75]

Almost forgot Delta

[Musty Pie]

Came here to sing praises to Crypt - for pure "chip-tune" ear pleasure but its already been suggested above.

I'd forgotten about the first GTR soundtrack with the Spa 24 track.
