What is your favourite game music?
mgb:
It may have been mentioned but how about Outrun.
I remember thinking how cool it was that not only is there force feedback (a first) but also the whole car stereo thing that let you choose the music track was really cool.

Gravitar. I put it on occasionally just for the thump. Pure 8-bit evil.
Cynicaster:
Golden Axe – Arcade and Genesis
Altered Beast – garbage game, but love the music, especially title screen and first level
Dragon Spirit – arcade
Batman – Genesis – title screen and first level are great
Double Dragon – arcade
Super Mario Bros. 2 – NES (I’m one of “those guys” who holds this as his favorite Mario title of all time)
By all rights I suppose I should be “nostalgic” about NES music, but nowadays I usually find it more annoying than anything else.
For whatever reason, I’m finding I generally prefer music on the original Gameboy over the NES. I picked up an original B&W Gameboy for cheap a while back and played all the way through Super Mario Land for the first time in almost 25 years. I was kind of surprised at how well the music fits the game and adds to the experience. I didn’t notice such things back when I had these games originally.

LOL, I've thought about it some more and thought of a few more games with awesome music I love...
title sequence of double dragon on the gameboy - it's got that 80's feel to it. i catch myself humming this one sometimes.
legend of zelda ocarina of time overworld. This is my alarm I wake up to in the morning. It's fabulous. give it a listen all the way through...most people only spend 30 seconds to a minute hearing the song before gameplay changes the music on you...
dr wilys stage from megaman 2. super catchy. deliciously complex.
Gray_Area:
Pheonix and Frogger were I think the first real music-endowed games.
Classic-wise, my favorites are Gyruss, Moon Patrol, Pooyan (probably the most sophisticated original music of the period), Marble Madness (barely a Classic) - and, not mentioned yet, Xevious. Most of these were in '82, hence contenders, though Xevious is perhaps the quintessential music game, because it's barely music, and yet no diatonically lame.
OH, and Gunsmoke, which was '84!
Mid-to-late 80s: Outrun, Black Tiger, Indy, 1943....what else.......
90s, mmmmmm, Strikers1945 stands out.
@Vigo: dude, is that a chorus of gnats farting music?......
@lilshawn: well, not really. That basic minor key 'hey it's a tragic adventure coming' kind of thing (I think both Raiden and Twin Cobra have it), that...sad as *---fudgesicle---* to say.....is the common harmonic deal in all the kiddie metal in the last ten years....and has no sign of giving up. BLECH.
