N64 Banjo Kazooie. Same music that changes instruments yet retains the same beat as you climb up to Gruntilda's Lair. Not sure if this concept has been repeated, pure genius!

Delta theme. I prefer the in game music, but the title music is pretty awesome too.


Commando. I'm so used to listening to it on a 60 hz machine, this 50 hz version sounds too slow.


One Man and His Droid. The US release didn't really have instructions so I never understood how to play the game, but the music was awesome.


As you can tell, I like me some Rob Hubbard C64 game music.

You bought up Rob Hubbard C64 music and DIDN'T mention Monty on the Run? Blasphemy I say!
I'll save your immortal soul by posting it myself

- Original version
- Amazing guitar version
- a different amazing version by the Commodore 64 orchestra

Possibly the greatest theme of all time, and I've never really even played commodore 64.

Mario Theme
Zelda Theme
Pokemon Battle Theme
Vampire Killer
Final Fantasy Theme
Dragon Quest Overture
Sonic Theme
