Stage 1 of Elemental Gearbolt.
I love the entire soundtrack in general, but that song is just so damn moving.

Whenever the topic of favorite game music come up, these five always bounce around in head..which is why I can never pick one :P
Outrun: "Magical Sound Shower"
Dracula X: Rondo of Blood "Bloodlines" and "Overture"
Contra: base stage music- gets you pumped for some alien blasting
Axelay: second stage- I love how it kinda bubbles low and then explodes into fanfare.

The best 2D and 2.5D video games.
My favorite is The opera scene from FF6. (FF3 SNES) I know this has been mentioned before. But when I first played this as a young lad, I thought it was going to suck. But after I played it, I will never ever forget it!!

Ooo. Hard to pick just one. Here's some I can think of:
8-bit: Opening music to SMB 2- I was blown away when I got this game and I could listen to the music all the time. Still can, even in its original NES format. Too good.
16-bit: Legend of Zelda Link to the Past Dungeon Music- the fact you could tell that the string music WAS string music was great and the music had a more urgent effect, like danger WAS eminent.
Greater than 16 bit: oh, lot's of 'em. The Poo stage and "Saving Private Ryan" levels in Conker's Bad Fur Day, the opening sequence to Castlevania 64 (the fade to the violin still sends shivers) and good for starters.
Man, if you love that, you need to search for them MP3 of it actually being performed with full orchestral backup and real vocals. It's absolutely amazing.Originally Posted by grandamchandler
No way I can pick just one. Even more oddly, all mine come from Gameboy(?!)
-Legend Of Zelda - Link's Awakening - I love the opening music here, particularly at the part where Link is found washed up on the beach. Lovely use of MIDI.
-Nobunaga's Ambition - The in-game, during turn music. I catch myself humming it quite often.
-Revelations: The Demon Slayer - Opening track. Good stuff again.
To this day, "A One Winged Angel" from FF7 has an impact upon me.
My Gaming Collection (Now at Google Drive!)
Legend of Zelda Ocarnia Of Time, Gerudo Valley and Fortress. Just Beautiful
Hong Kong Streets from Deus Ex.
MedSci from System Shock 2.
The original Legend of Zelda music.
I would agree with Valley of Gerudo, too.
The town music from the original Heroes of Might & Magic.
Guitar riff from the select screen of Gauntlet Legends.
The Fellowship music from Ultima 7. Also music from Ultima Underworld II.
Almost everything from Symphony of the Night.
I like Metroid II's main theme, too.
You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?
Ditto. But I really like the one after you're playing Dracula as the Belmont at the beginning and the intro is scrolling. That's my FAVE. I dunno the name of it cuz I don't have the CD on me.Almost all the songs from Symphony of the night. The music blew me away. I can't really think of another game where the music got me as much as this game.
~"You can't make an omlette without destroying a forest... or something" -Black Mage (From 8-bit Theater)~
Besides the excellent music from SOTN and MGS, my two favorite musical pieces are J-E-N-O-V-A and One-Winged Angel from FFVII.
Whoever wins, the battle doesn't end. The loser is freed from the battlefield, but the winner must remain there, and the survivor must live his life as the warrior until he dies.
Anything Castlevania. Vampire Killer is definately on top (Dire pretty much put in words what I wanted to say), with Bloody Tears just behind that, and Clockwork at #3. Also, Aquarius, Wandering Souls, Sinking Old Sanctuary, Cross Your Heart, Wicked Child, Dwelling of Doom, Pressure, Clockwork, Stream, The Tower of Dolls, Etude For the Killer, New Messiah, Calling From Heaven, Opposing Bloodlines, Dracula's Castle, The Tragic Prince, Rainbow Cemetery, Festival of Servants, Death Ballad, Catacombs, Lament of Innocence (Leon's Theme), and a whole bunch of other tunes that I don't remember the name of or that I'm forgetting entirely. Whew. I LOVE CASTLEVANIA!
Disclaimer: I'm sure at least one of these tunes above is misnamed.
That's it! Next stop: The Junkyard. Population: You!

No, you got them all right...
I'm going to go on a limb here and here are a couple tracks I've enjoyed quite immensely:
To cover the CV side and be done with it, I'll name a couple more:
Vampire Killer from the MSX2 Akumajo Dracula is OK, but it's missing a few things the NES had and sounds much more primitive. It just doesn't have "it."
Dracula Battle - Akumajo Dracula SFC/Super CV IV SNES
Thrashard in the Cave/Wiched [sic] Child/You Goddamned Bathead from Akumajo Dracula (Sharp x68000)
Cross your Heart, Basement Melody (unfortunately it never plays through in the arcade version, as far as I can tell..!) and Don't Wait Untill Night- Haunted Castle (1988)
Dracula X SNES--the whole darn soundtrack (much cleaner sound than the CD version, which I've played so many times in my CD player that I'm about to wear out the disc) but the credits music which is called March of the Holy Man, I believe, is awesome.
Lots of stuff from the N64 CVs, including Tower of Science and Tower of Sorcery
Other stuff...
Bionic Commando/Top Secret, level 2
Konami's Aliens (1990) level 1 (and the rest, but level 1 especially)
Contra 3/Contra Spirits - Neo Kobe Steel Factory
Chrono Trigger - main theme, Ruined World, Manoria Cathedral, and Delightful Spekkio for having the funniest name ever
Plok - the whole soundtrack is a technical marvel, really.
Super Metroid - Story, the (unfortunately apparently never *.SPC'd) Space Colony klaxons and stuff (you know, the game really had much more potential to be scary and intense; a shame they didn't really go that way)
Revenge of Shinobi - Terrible Beat, China Town, The Ninja
Shinobi 3 - primitive use of the sound hardware compared to RoS/Super Shinobi, but still some great compositions: Whirlwind, Idaten, Trap Boogie, Rush and Beat 'em (using the beta's name for that track there, it changed at least a few times until the final version), Solitary, Mandara, on and on...
Phantasy Star - various battle music, spaceport music
Space Harrier
Shinobi - first stage, bonus round and boss music
and finally
Getfusuu Maden (Legend of the Lunar Wind, I believe) - Overworld music (also found in Wai Wai World, aka Konami World)
Which just about sums things up for stuff I've been enjoying recently.
I have found, though, that you can wear out even the best music if you loop it ad infinitum, but I just go on to other stuff. Even though my ears have become jaded, though, I can tell that these are indeed good songs and worth a listen.
Has a soundtrack ever been released for MS3? I love that song \^_^/
You guys too? I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that was one of the greatest pieces of music ever in a Neo Geo game! RTFO!Has a soundtrack ever been released for MS3? I love that song \^_^/\^_^/

My favorite would have to be in Chrono Cross for PSX, the music piece that plays when you're on the world map. I don't remember what it's called off hand, but I bought the entire game soundtrack just for that song!
Castlevania series
Silent Hill series
Zelda series
RE series
great music and great games!
I'd also like to add the intro for Final Fantasy VI, I love it.
Whoever wins, the battle doesn't end. The loser is freed from the battlefield, but the winner must remain there, and the survivor must live his life as the warrior until he dies.

FATAL FURY SPECIAL SNK CART (has to be the cart version)
Big Bears background music
Lead, Follow , or get the F*** out of my way !
The Young Link theme from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Before that, it was the theme from Karate Kid on the NES.
Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.
