Favourite computer games music?

[Kyriakos]

To some computer games may seem childish- personally i havent played any in more than half a decade- but to others some of them can be serious art.
And i have the view of the latter, particularly about the soundtracks of a number of such games.

Here are a couple of my favourites:

Secret of Mana- Into the thick of it

Castlevania series- Iron blue intention

I will post more later on. It would be great if you can suggest your own favourites, since im sure there are many pieces out there which are excellent but which other people in the forum may have never heard of :)

Haha, game music? I have a nostalgic fondness for the Mario theme and the Final Fantasy Suite that have persisted over the years.

I played way too many video games in high school, to this day I can still hum the Final Fantasy VII victory music.

Mario - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiAxiGZKpGQ

Final Fantasy Suite - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aBzTB963wc

And the victory music from FF7 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7tbddRS8lQ

Edit: I still play computer games though, I play SCII pretty frequently. I don't know if I should be ashamed or proud, but I'm also decent enough at it to be in Diamond league, the highest amateur online league, the only league higher is the invitation only professional league T_T.

Korobeiniki - the Russian folk song made famous by Tetris.

FF7 - I can still hum the music too.

The victory fanfare brings it all back - the months and months i played it - especially after the computer version wouldn't transfer from 2nd to third disk and i had to buy it for the PS2 and start it all over again.

What a great game that was.

I also liked the 80s music in Grand theft Auto 3.

i used to drive around listening to the 80s stuff. it was great. I especially like this:

I think that the soundtrack of Duck Tales, esp. the moon part (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_80PQ543rM) is pretty cool.

The game is also rather awesome.
