Which brings up one of my fave topics game music.

Who has some fave game soundtracks whether only in game or on CD?

I know this was a page ago, but the topic of game music is one of my favourites too.

Off the top of my head, some of the best music IMHO found in games:

Donkey Kong Country (SNES)

Dr. Mario (NES & SNES, as Tetris & Dr. Mario)

Prince of Persia (not much of a fan of the music on the SNES version, as that one is pretty much a SE of Prince of Persia, other than that any incarnation of the original music, DOS, Apple II, Amiga and so on...)

Contra (NES, Arcade & MSX)

SMB1 & 3 (NES & SNES ... SMB2 music?... meh)

Ninja Gaiden (of course)

Castlevania (wow I love Castlevania, the original games on the NES, and Super Castlevania IV on the SNES, just wow...)

Tetris Tengen, IMHO superior both in terms of soundtrack and gameplay to the "official" Nintendo version... it may be because I played this during my childhood and not the other one... (well... childhood... it WAS 1996...)

these just to name a few, including Kirby, Metroid and Battletoads.

Getting back to the question:

Who has some fave game soundtracks whether only in game or on CD?

all of these, plus many more, I don't have them on cd, but I have a 1st gen 1GB Ipod nano, with Rockbox on it (check it out it's the bee's knees!), full of videogame soundtracks from the Nes, Snes and C64. All of these are dumped straight from the cartridges, and thus occupy very little space, as opposed to what they would occupy if they were in, say, mp3 format. Just like a midi (which Rockbox can play,also) these files just store the information about the notes, then a plugin plays them.
