I think perhaps Baldur's Gate II. It was moving, epic, and awesome. Truly a good score. The whole Baldur's Gate series had great music, in my opinion. Somewhere on that list would be Metal Gear Solid and MGS2, as well.

Halo has some great music. And they even released a soundtrack to it. And Streets of Rage 2 for the Genesis.

Total Annihilation has great music! Nothing like a big orchestra to go with your killing robots everywhere.

Super Smash Bros. Melee has nice music too. More big orchestras. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

Some versions of Tetris have that catchy Russian tune.

Daggerfall (Elder Scrolls II) has awesome midi music.

C&C Generals has awesome music. The American tracks aren't the best ones though. I like the GLA ones and the Chinese ones. In fact all the C&C games have some neat music except Red Alert 2. I hate that game.

Super Mario Bros. games have cool music. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

Elder Scrolls III Morrowind: has pretty good mood setting music.

Blade Of Darkness: Very atmospheric music that really makes the Fantasy setting seem more interesting. I like it so much I put some of it in Morrowind. http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

Quake II: I like the stuff Sonic Mayhem did. It was Sonic Mayhem wasn't it? Hard to remember all this game stuff.

Dissolution Of Eternity: The Quake Mission Pack II has some real cool music.

Got that right. I love Jeremy Soule's music. He did Neverwinter Nights, too, as well as Dungeon Siege (a game that wasn't all that great).

[picklehammer]

it was in there already and no, I didn't edit my post to put it in

I have a couple really good Wild Arms remixes

[HyperFlash]

Oops. Must've overlooked. I liked that guitar theme from the starting cinema. That was cool. And the Metroid tunes are awesome. Especially the ones in Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion.

[Halty]

I'm with Fallen Man The Baulder's Gate series does have a very good music score. I also remember well One Must Fall, to my recolection that had pretty good music. But it doesn't work on my PC anymore.

Daggerfall music is nice, but sometimes it gets a bit overbearing on the game.
Doom e1m8, nuff said
I love OMF 2097!! once on my parents computer which I hooked up to thier stereo for a psuedo home theatre system I pumped up the OMF music real loud http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/biggrin.gif
chrono trigger and alot of the other square RPGs have great music
the heroes of might and magic series

I think I'm gonna have to get Morrowind once bloodmoon comes out, Daggerfall is just a damn fine game and whats the point of playing if you can't become a werewolf? :j
What have you got agains Red Alert 2?? http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smilies/cwm6.gif

[picklehammer]

I like your taste in game music, Darkwolf, but then again you already knew that

[CheapAlert]

KIRBEH DREAMLAND THREH!

[Fallen Man]

The Medal of Honor games has some great music.

[Props022]

Tenchu Stealt Assassins. I even downloaded all the music from it.


***edit***
I also think that I have the music from all the Mega Man games & Tetris stuck in my head.

Megaman music simply rules. Easily number one on my list.

[DooMAD]

In the game Earthworm Jim, does anyone know the name of the music from that "What the Heck" level? I'm trying to find it for a new hell map I'm working on.

[HyperFlash]

You're looking for that elevator music? Look on Kazaa or something. I'll laugh the whole time I play if that music is on a map.

I've heard some good elevator music. Seriously, broaden your music horizons.

The Fr08 pre-calc music I'm sure can be classified as elevator music and it's a great tune.
