Favorite Retro Music? (before dreamcast)

[Dreamcast]

The other day I just got Outrun: 2006 coast to coast (PSP). And the game came with the outrun 2 (retro) soundtrack. I found some really cool songs on it. So some of the songs that are in this list are outrun songs :P

Not in any order (download link included!)

*Keep Your Heart - Outrun 2sp (http://outrun.org/OutRun/download/Turbo%20OutRun/arc_tor_keepyh.mp3)

*Metropolis Zone - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (http://208.53.158.138/soundtracks/sonic-the-hedgehog-2-original-soundtrack/czoyzblbqs/23-metropolis-zone.mp3)

*Title Screen - Sonic CD Japan (http://208.53.158.138/soundtracks/sonic-cd-japan-game-rip-/xesnipozbc/25-and-26-title-screen.mp3)

*Sega Cd Bios Screen (no joke) (can't find link. Unless you want a .midi)

*Virtua
Racing Delux Menu Screen- Vitrua Racing (MIDI!) (http://midi.thehylia.com/midifiles/genesis/virtua-racing/mode-select.mid)

Thats all I can think of at the moment! so, what are you favorite songs? (before dreamcast)

I'll recommend at this point everyone to visit vgmusic.com

Very nice MIDIs and remixes of game soundtracks.

Hmm, and Overclocked is pretty decent too.

My votes go to:

Streets of Rage 2 - Especially the first level

Street Fighter II - Ken's Stage

Gradius II - Burning Heat!

Mega Man X - The Whole Game, actually

Earthbound - See Mega Man X

Tetris - The Theme (Koronbinki I think?)

That's all I can think of right at the moment.

[Sanriostar]

Super Metroid's Maridia theme, and any pick of the good C64 SID chiptunes.

[Nebagram]

I'll have to go with pretty much all of Sonic 3, though I'm sure we all know the story behind that by now. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JbVM-l2Oku4) SoulBlade's music was also pretty cool.

[Sabz5150]

Hands down: Rockman 4 Complete Works - Cossack stage 3 & 4 (new versions)

Sword of Vermillion - Last City

original track (http://208.53.158.138/soundtracks/sword-of-vermillion-original-game-audio/qhusshmtbi/25-last-city.mp3)

redone MIDI (http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/sega/genesis/vermilio.mid)

[ssjlance]

Splatterhouse 2 is by far my favorite retro game soundtrack.

Check out any of the tracks from 2, although Prelude is the one that has always stuck out to me. It's only available in a rar file, but still. It's worth checking out.
