What is your favourite game music?
shmokes:
Rock Band ;D
Seriously, if we're not just talking classics, I'd probably say Parappa the Rapper. Of the classics, I think maybe Frogger and Super Mario simply because there has never been a moment in the last 20 years when I couldn't hum those tunes on demand. They're permanently etched in my brain. I'd probably also include the original Zelda overworld theme and some of the Metroid stuff.

Hmmm, most have been mentioned: Gyruss, Space Harrier, outrun and Moon Patrol. For some reason, Popeye never got old for me, so it would get my vote.
Although next gen consoles don't count, I assume the original Xbox is ok then? If so, then Halo is near the top of the list. I'm not a big fan of the game itself (I do like it but not a lover of it) BUT that theme music is just outstanding...
... and these guys are incredible :)

FInally,I saw someone say Paperboy.
That music gets caught in my head and it's rediculous.
Also, ghosts and goblins. There's a solo in the song "Like a Stone" that sounds JUST like the c64 version of G&G.

go to the torrents and look for nintendo music. I grabbed 200 of the best NES tunes.
Great stuff. Goonies music is great
