As well as upto date stuff aswell... Was up till 3am last night listening to all the old songs... they don't make them like that anymore

Personal favourites are Sonic 2 and Streets of Rage 2

Ohh and this will probably be removed for some reason or another so get it while you can.

Street fighter 2 music has to be the best. Some made the charts in Japan I think.

Wrong, Speedball 2.

Check and Mate. I win!

There are so many long forgotten classics:
Speedball 2
Cannon Fodder
Sensible Soccer (although it was remixed for the recent 2006 version)
Supercars
F-Zero (Mute City)
Rage Racer (Hurricaine Hub)
Bionic Commando
California Games

The list could go on forever!

A couple of classics from the good old days of computing -

Anything that Rob Hubbard did on the C64 including Monty on the Run, The Last V8, Thing on a Spring and Crazy Comets. He was the god of C64 soundtracks in the 80's.

Xenon 2: Megablast on the Amiga. It was amazingly funky at the time.

Cheers for that, some nice renditions there. Shame track 6 doesn't have the digitized speach with the guy saying, "you might be missing some of the benefits, that stereo can provide". Love that bit

Loving the Daaaaaytonaaaaaa music as well ^^

C&C red alert marching music got to love it

Pablo72 · 27 Oct 2006 at 14:12

Main theme to Monkey Island 1 gets my vote every time!

Blue Cypher · 27 Oct 2006 at 14:18

soooooooooooo many great ones, game music is just not what it used to be

Chris Hülsbeck and Rob Hubbard are some of my fav retro games composers and I still listen to their tunes. Fricking amazing stuff! The Turrican soundtrack is one of my all time favs!

I fully agree.

Adding to that, his (Rob Hubbard's) two mindblowing tracks (for the time) were Arcade Classics, and Skate or Die. I remember my pants nearly turning brown after hearing those new "digital sounds"
