There are so many good ones, but I have 2 songs that have been favorites of mine since I was a kid.

Rygar - Sagila's Cave

Metroid - Kraid's Lair

Treasure Master

Solstice

Listen to this Pictionary soundtrack. PICTIONARY!

Yeah, dude's a God. Almost a disgrace most of the games he actually worked on were average to terrible, but the music is just mindblowing.

YES! YES! YES! I forgot about the Solstice main theme. When I was a kid I used to turn on my nintendo just to listen to that track over and over again. Tim Follin is amazing.

Kind of cheating, but one of my favorite chiptunes ever is the titlescreen track used outside of Germany for The Great Giana Sisters for the Commodore 64.

The Giana Sisters was a clone game of Super Mario Bros. so I guess it almost counts? Regardless, the composer Chris Hülsbeck did an absolutely amazing job with the soundtrack for this game and no matter how you slice it, this is one of the best chiptunes ever produced.

Don't want to get too off topic but have you heard a lot of his other stuff? I don't think he did a ton on the Amiga sadly, but every platform he touched he mastered like nothing. The Gauntlet III OST makes me think of chiptunes Manowar or something, haha.

Most epic title theme?

Most epic character select music?

lol

I haven't clicked all the posts yet but didn't see this one for the Spelunker title.

Broderbund was one sick developer for the NES.

Please everyone turn it up and close your eyes. Best with headphones. Know who else was on the development team for this game? IREM. Seriously.

I definitely agree with that song!

You guys might not remember this one (the game wasn't that great) but man this song can get in your head:

You'll be humming it the rest of the day...
