Best Music in the pre 1986 Arcade?

[boatofcar]

What pre 1986 arcade game had the best music? I really love Mr. Do's Castle, but the original Star Wars game's music is right on too!

Gyruss and Spy Hunter are two of my all time favorites in this catagory.

I love Gyruss, but Gradius...man, GRADIUS!!! :O

Gyruss
Spy Hunter
Donkey Kong
...not a whole lot of the early stuff had music playing in-game, or so it seems. I tend to remember music being prevelant in between stages, especially in PacMan games...but the Sound F/X are what always stood out more in the old days, especially in games like Defender and Robotron.

My favorites are Donkey Kong, and everything about Robotron.

PONG!!!

Wait those arcades didn't have background music did they?

It's not my favorite but I definatly love the little movie scene music for Ms. Pac-man.

A few other games that come to mind with cool music/sound effects are;

Galaga
Jungle Hunt
Satan's Hollow
Burger Time
Moon Patrol
Mr Do
Elevator Action

Still like Gradius better, but SH's certainly up there :)

Love the PC-E port.
