The theme to Metal Gear Solid 3 was really good. Probably the best out there

I suppose it is cheating also, but the classical sound track on Return Fire for 3do is perhaps the only example I have found of a non-bemani game where the score takes a front seat.

Nothing like laying waste to everything in your path to Gustav Holtz’ Mars!

Definitely some of the best old school music belongs to the megaman sieries.

Megaman’s music is fast, fun and varied. It ranges from lighthearted jaunts, to roaring epics.

Amon Tobin definitely qualifies. I’m up for listing best scores from vintage to current.

Speaking of which, on the Nintendo front, I’ve been quite impressed with the new scores for Zelda: Wind Waker and Metroid: Prime (particularly that cool opening music).

But, yeah, nothing quite like the 8-bit classics. 8)

I’d have to nominate Earthbound for SNES (Mother II in Japan). Not only a great RPG in a modern setting (ATMs and cell phones), but the score is amazing. There were times where I had to put down the controller and just listen. Thank god for ZSNES movies!

Wizards & Warriors for NES (a band called The Advantage plays a killer medley)

Legend of Zelda (of course!

Super Metroid has always gotten to me…

i think the best scores comes out at the time where the computers have 8 bit and the musicians did real fantastic work like rob hubbard, martin galway and so on. yes amon tobin rules my x-box burnout 3 and doom3 also but it is nothing in comparision to old 8 bit style. i love it and i miss tru music today gamescore is just a licence and “how can i make more money” thing. best item in this licence war is amon tobins splinter cell soundtrack. ninja tune have to buy the rights to make a normal cd… this business sucks
