    Some of the track picks for Rock N Roll Racing for SNES etc. surprised me. It was the first place I heard a version of "Mag Wheel" by Big Drill Car even if it was a chiptune version with no vocals. The band was never that well known compared to others until Courier Crisis came out and they were featured on the soundtrack for 3 songs.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    Spy Hunter was the first game that came to mind when I saw this thread.

    True true, didn't think of the Peter Gunn theme and Spy Hunter, even though I love that game to bits.

    Blizzard devs have the weirdest taste in music.

    Some UK C64 games came with music cassettes, can't remember which ones though.

    Pondering about Max (PAM) (1989) on A8 has licensed 'real'? 'digitized'? music from Nick Hayward.

    Yeah, but does the computer play the songs automatically for you? It kinda doesn't count if a game lacks music but asks you "put a Frankie Goes to Hollywood single in the tape deck and press play"...

    Some people seem to be straying off the original topic of the 1st poster... or maybe they didn't read it carefully enough. Genesis games that have Sonic or Michael Jackson songs in FM surely don't count. ...?

    Hmm wrong game, I could have sworn I heard a chiptune version of the song in some racing game I used an emulator to play before I got the cd and was like oh I heard this song before. Either that or it was false Deja Vu. I doubt the NES version would have an exclusive track but I still haven't checked it yet.
