    Favourite Retro Arcade Music

    As a big lover of the good old arcade games, what music from games give you good memories and take you back? I mean the 70's, 80's and early/mid 90's stuff, like original arcade games, Amiga, Speccy etc. Heres a few of mine to start...

    [youtube:1f5h0e5w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvha_2hAzq0[/youtube:1f5h0e5w]

    the whole of Turrican II has the best music on a game... period imo. Awesome

    Also this bit of music for the last level of Sonic The Hedgehog was pure genius and captured the mood perfectly

    Re: Favourite Retro Arcade Music

    Great thread

    I love video game music, nothing beat the beatz of the 80s n early 90s

    My faves are the streets of rage II (check out the pumping techno, nothing beats this imo)
    [video:1mt5dgvl]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F53KSzF3mD4[/video:1mt5dgvl]
    [video:1mt5dgvl]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezfCD-xr9A4&feature=related[/video:1mt5dgvl]
    [video:1mt5dgvl]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAePH6rGOX4&feature=related[/video:1mt5dgvl] <---you could pump this anywhere imo [music]

    And from Super Aleste from the SNES, watch the whole video to get some great music and great game play. Also tune in at 7:45 for possibly the best boss music of all time.

    Re: Favourite Retro Arcade Music

    Some of the best retro game music in my opinion appears in this game, the intro music is good too:

    I loved the sound on the C64.

    [youtube:3rylnbn2]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L6c0GkpsgA[/youtube:3rylnbn2]

    Wizball had the best music of any C64 game though.

    They did a 2D scrolling remake of Bionic Commando called Bionic Commando: Rearmed in the run up to releasing the next-gen update of the game. They updated the music from the original too and it's quality!

    Well there are many great videogame soundtracks, but Geoff & Tim Follin's one for Spider-Man & The X-Men: Arcade's Revenge on SNES, just f***ing owns IMO:
