I really heart the Megaman 3 NES soundtrack

Super CastleVania IV (SNES) has some of the best music i've ever heard in any videogame

I don't like 8-bit music, but that tune is a memory trigger.

if videogame companies were record labels, Treasure is my favorite videogame music imprint

when i was little i loved this

especially the space level music, even if it's incredibly repetitive.

 

oh and for faux-old school, you can't beat the new megaman games

holy shit that 2nd Kirby song has a drum and bass acid breakdown, i don't i've played this game before

Oh god, I wish I hadn't done this...I want to play this so badly now!

Totally spooky track at the very end.

i'm really partial to the sonic 2 soundtrack. it was the first game i ever owned, and this metropolis zone track is the first thing i ever sampled (at age 5, holding a fisher price tape recorder up to the tv so i could listen to the music later in my room).

and this is just awesome:

edit, i'd just like to add that '

' from megaman 3 is one of the prettiest 8-bit tunes i've ever heard. and awepittance -- your treasure co compilation is great. i was pleased to hear a few tracks from gunstar heroes in there, i adored that game Edited April 24, 2011 by luke viia

oh yeah, earthboundddddddddddddddddddd

 

also there's a song that sounds exactly like Not Disturbing Mammoth 1 (or visa versa) but I can't seem to find it.

probably this

was wondering why this one was so noisy then it occurred to me that they must have just used white noise for the rain that was always going in the town
