    Default Retro gaming music recommendations?

    It's almost the weekend and I'm thinking of checking out some highlights from old-skool video game soundtracks (or music from demos or whatever).

    Any cool tunes out there that I ought to check out?

    Here are my offerings:

    A lot of Sega Saturn games have good soundtracks you can rip into your computer from the games. I remember Dark Legend having some pretty cool music. Sonic 3D Blast for Sega Saturn and Sonic CD for Sega CD both have some good tracks in there with the weird ones.

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

    Good grief, I've got so much game music I wouldn't know what to recommend. I think I'll sit back and see what everyone else brings to the table. Maybe I'll find something for myself.

    Thanks everyone. I spent the weekend with your music recommendations playing in the background while repairing an Amiga 4000.

    Very cool.

    I've been enjoying the music to Hiryuu no Ken on the NES, along with some of The Fat Man's work.
