Resident Evil II
Revenge of Shinobi
Road Rash II
Snake,Rattle 'n' Roll (Sorry, but it's nostalgia!)

Soulblade
Spot Goes to Hollywood

Teranigma and Secret of Mana spring into my mind. While Secret of Evermore has for me the best audio surounding. Not to mention Zelda...

Forget FFXII it's not that memorable.

FFXII was rather poor compared, I thought, but it did have some decent ones like Rabanastre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvW9KQ5vu8Y

Oh, and Duck Tales:

The best moment and music of the game lost odyssey on xbox360 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF3gO0rev0g
And the full soundtrack here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGGqFYibEv0&list=PL6F77C6579981374B&index=1

Ah, yes. Missed that one by accident! Blue Dragon is pretty decent too.

gjoerulv · « **Reply #5 on:** 2015-08-21 16:52:32 »

Lost Odyssey has arguably better music than any FF ("arguably" being the key word here).

FF12 has a good soundtrack imo, but compared to the best FFs it doesn't hold up. FF13 on the other hand was rather dull overall.

TMNT the arcade game ftw!

Don't Forget Legend Of Dragoon OST One of Best

How dare you all!! I'm going to disown all of you for not putting Shadow of the Colossus at the top of such a list (unless, of course, the list is alphabetical in which case I'll just disown you for not including it).

Only gonna list stuff that hasn't been mentioned yet, and in alphabetical order. I adore all of these soundtracks:

Animal Crossing
Balloon Fight
Banjo Kazooie/Tooie
Bomberman Hero
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Comix Zone
Donkey Kong 64
Donkey Kong Country 1-3
Freedom Planet
GTA V
Halo 1-3 (but especially 3)
Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru
Kingdom Hearts
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Kart 64
Mario Kart 7
Mario Kart 8
Mario Paint
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Metroid
Monster Truck Madness

edit: It's also, worth checking out this alternate soundtrack to Super Mario Bros. 3. It's a collection of new songs with the SMB3 instrument set, and inspired by existing songs, but completely reimagined into something new.

Now I have to disown myself. I forgot To the Moon. And I JUST finished playing that with my wife.

C&C Red Alert.
Hell March https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b5X69vREAg
Hell March from red Alert 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nFKPVfDrgU

Not sure how I missed that one. I did have a bit of a discussion once with the composer Frank Klepacki. Nice guy. We didn't say much, and I was mainly just praising him for Hell March.

There's a quite a few there already that I've never heard. So I'll be looking those up!

@covarr. Nice list. I like Mario Kart too. Especially Rainbow track from 64. I remember Mario Kart SNES was good?

DLPB_ · « **Reply #13 on:** 2015-08-21 21:55:40 »

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sghFi_wH0FA this guy Tommy Tallarico is pretty good too. he did Spot Goes to Hollywood, along with some pinball ones, and Earthworm Jim....

Which should have been on my list!

gjoerulv · « **Reply #14 on:** 2015-08-21 22:13:43 »

At this point we could start talking about games that have NOT a good sountrack haha! Omg those lists.

Faxanadu anyone?

luksy · « **Reply #15 on:** 2015-08-21 22:16:22 »

Doom on ps1, this version had a completely different ambient soundtrack, i was never very fond of the faux-metal original.

Final Fantasy Tactics

Vagrant Story

Xenogears

As for crap osts no list is complete without Resident Evil Director's Cut Dual Shock

FatedCourage · « **Reply #16 on:** 2015-08-21 22:22:12 »

For me... Chrono Cross, Grandia II, and even The Last Story I thought had a pretty memorable soundtrack. But that's just me. Others I enjoyed you guys already listed like Chrono Trigger, Lost Odyssey, Breath of Fire, etc.

If we're doing crap, I'm not sure it gets much worse than Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood - "Nocturne", a particularly horrible remix of Sonic 3's final boss theme.

Which reminds me, I should've put Sonic Generations on my list. The 3DS version has an amazing remix of the same song.

Captain Planet... a good soundtrack:

I finished this game all way through on real NES. No easy feat, let me tell you.

The Last Remnant - One of the most unknown and underrated games of all time, and surprisingly it's made by Square Enix.

Ending Song - Journey's End - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a029xICDmc

P.S. You guys have played waaaaay more games than me. Thanks for the good listens

I just realized I forgot Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside. Really, most games by Humongous Entertainment belong here, but this one in particular had a great soundtrack:
Into the Closet and Opening Title - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8Q7iDco3tc

I'm surprised I forgot about The Last Remnant... Thought it was a good game for what it was. I think people just weren't willing to give it a chance because they didn't want to learn the combat, strategy, and be willing to grind. It's not a game you can just mindlessly run through.

I also forgot to mention Dark Cloud and Infinite Undiscovery had some pretty good tracks. Again, to me.
